Facilities maintenance technicians keep buildings and their systems working, covering a broad mix of plumbing, electrical, mechanical, carpentry, and general repair tasks. The role is defined by breadth rather than depth: the technician handles what they are competent and permitted to do, and calls in a licensed trade for the rest. Planned maintenance rounds sit alongside a steady stream of reactive requests.

Custodians keep buildings clean, stocked, secure, and safe to occupy, working in schools, hospitals, offices, and public facilities. Beyond routine cleaning, the role usually includes minor repairs, setting up rooms, clearing snow or waste, and being the person who notices when something in the building is wrong. Shifts are often early, late, or overnight so the work does not disrupt occupants.
