$18.67 to Negotiable Hourly

General Description / Primary Purpose

The Maintenance Mechanic performs skilled, multi-trade maintenance, repair, installation, inspection, and troubleshooting work in support of the University of North Florida's academic, research, residential, administrative, and campus support facilities. The position exists to help maintain safe, reliable, functional, and code-conscious campus buildings and infrastructure by performing preventive maintenance, corrective repairs, equipment inspections, and system installations involving HVAC, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and related building systems.

The Maintenance Mechanic works independently and collaboratively with Facilities personnel to complete assigned work orders, resolve service interruptions, support campus projects, assist with special event and operational needs, and respond to emergency maintenance situations. The position contributes to Physical Facilities' mission by protecting University assets, supporting campus continuity, promoting safe work practices, and helping ensure that facilities remain operational, accessible, and responsive to the needs of students, faculty, staff, visitors, and the broader campus community.

Job Functions

  • Perform preventive maintenance, inspections, testing, troubleshooting, and corrective repairs on assigned campus HVAC, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and related building systems to support safe and reliable operation.
  • Diagnose equipment and system malfunctions using trade knowledge, technical manuals, testing instruments, and established maintenance practices; determine appropriate corrective actions and communicate findings as needed.
  • Install, replace, modify, and repair building components, utilities, fixtures, equipment, and system controls in accordance with applicable codes, standards, manufacturer guidance, and University requirements.
  • Complete assigned work orders from initial assessment through closeout, documenting labor, materials, findings, equipment status, and corrective actions in the University's maintenance management system.
  • Operate and maintain hand tools, power tools, diagnostic equipment, lifts, service vehicles, and specialized trade equipment in a safe, effective, and job-appropriate manner.
  • Conduct routine facility and equipment inspections to identify deficiencies, safety hazards, potential failures, and corrective maintenance needs before they result in avoidable disruptions.
  • Support campus renovation, repair, infrastructure, and minor project work by assisting with equipment installation, utility modifications, system shutdowns, start-ups, and commissioning-related tasks.
  • Respond to emergency service calls, utility outages, equipment failures, severe weather impacts, and other urgent maintenance needs to restore service, protect campus assets, and minimize disruption to University operations.

Marginal Functions

  • Assist other maintenance trades and departments with occasional specialty repairs, project support, or operational needs outside the position's primary assigned work.
  • Support campus events on an as-needed basis by assisting with temporary utility connections, facility preparations, equipment setup, and post-event restoration activities.
  • Pick up parts, materials, supplies, or equipment from vendors and suppliers when needed to complete assigned maintenance or project work.
  • Participate in periodic safety meetings, required training, certifications, and professional development activities that support safe and effective job performance.
  • Assist with occasional shop organization, inventory support, and storage area cleanup related to projects, emergency response, or operational readiness.
  • Support campus emergency response efforts and serve as a designated Tier 2 responder during emergencies, severe weather events, and special operational needs.
