Senior Facilities Technician

Position Overview We're looking for a hands-on Senior Facilities Technician to operate, maintain, and repair utility and infrastructure systems on a large camp and retreat center campus.

You'll be the primary on-site expert for electrical, water, wastewater, and backup power systems. When something breaks, you're the first call - but it’s even better if you made sure that it doesn’t break!

This role works on a busy campus full of kids during summer and churches, schools, and other community groups in the spring and fall. We're looking for someone who takes safety seriously, models integrity, and is drawn to mission-driven work.
