JOB SUMMARY

The Santa Fe Institute is looking for a Facilities Team Member to assist with facilities maintenance, on-site and off-site events, record keeping, and more. If you find solving puzzles and making stuff happen satisfying, you might have found just the right team.

This is a service-oriented job; team members must be amiable and pleasant with guests, visitors, vendors and other staff members. It demands strong interpersonal skills, adaptability, flexibility, and the ability to thrive in a team environment. Since the role is dynamic and priorities shift, strong organization skills are a must. Please note that this is an on-site position with no option for remote work.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

• Work closely with the facilities team to prioritize and execute rotating duties across campuses

• Maintain, service, and conduct minor repairs on buildings and equipment on both campuses

• Monitor work completed by contractors and tradespeople, through project completion

• Comply with and uphold established safety guidelines and procedures

• Provide custodial support as requested, routinely moving office furniture and equipment, stocking supplies, and providing work feedback and status updates digitally

• Available to provide early morning snow removal before staff arrives

• Able to work occasional nights and weekends on either campus, as assigned

JOB REQUIREMENTS

• Must have a valid NM driver’s license, current auto insurance, a smart phone, and the ability to tow a trailer.

• A high school diploma or equivalent and a clear background check are required.

• Ability to lift 50 lbs. and to carry 40 lbs; willingness to do light or infrequent moderate manual labor.

• Experience with minor carpentry, electrical, plumbing, painting, and general building repairs is a bonus.
