At our Middle River, Maryland Space Structures Complex, our work environment presents unique challenges, including demanding weather conditions and specialized production requirements; making robust, adaptive facility management essential.

MASTER FACILITIES TECHNICIAN

As the onsite Master Facilities Technician at Rocket Lab’s Space Structures Complex in Middle River, MD, you will play a pivotal role in both maintaining and building out our facility. This is not just a maintenance role: you’ll be hands-on in the construction, renovation, and expansion of our site, ensuring our infrastructure keeps pace with our rapid growth and evolving needs.

  • BMS/BAS implementation: Support the rollout and ongoing management of new Building Management Systems (BMS) and Building Automation Systems (BAS).
  • Site oversight: Maintain and enforce site safety, security, and cleanliness standards across the Space Structures Complex and manufacturing infrastructure.
  • Emergency response: Respond to facility emergencies, including after-hours or weekend calls, to minimize downtime and protect critical operations.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We’re on a mission to unlock the potential of space to improve life on Earth, but that’s not an easy task. It takes hard work, determination, relentless innovation, teamwork, grit, and an unwavering commitment to achieving what others often deem impossible. Our people out-think, out-work, and out-pace. We pride ourselves on having each other’s backs, checking our egos at the door, and rolling up our sleeves on all tasks big and small. We thrive under pressure, work to tight deadlines, and our focus is always on how we can deliver, rather than dwelling on the challenges that stand in the way.

  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing
