Maintenance Team Lead

The Spirit of the Position:

The Maintenance Team Lead is a hands-on, junior leadership position responsible for directing a small team of Maintenance Technicians in completing assigned maintenance projects safely, efficiently and professionally.

Working under the direction of the Maintenance Supervisor, the Team Lead is an opportunity for a motivated individual to develop leadership, technical and managerial skills while gaining experience managing people, projects, customers and resources. This position offers a clear opportunity to grow into a Maintenance Supervisor role, eventually managing independent teams and larger projects.
