POSITION SUMMARY:

In conjunction with the Facilities team, the Facilities Coordinator & Event Support candidate ensures the smooth, day-to-day operational support of historic Powell Hall and the Jack C. Taylor Music Center. This pivotal role will work approximately 15-20 hours and focuses on immediate "boots-on-the-ground" needs, serving as a primary point of contact for safety, vendor oversight, and event support.

• Vendor Oversight: Supervise 3rd-party custodial and security staff during shifts to ensure scope-of-work compliance and responsiveness to immediate service requests.
• Facility Maintenance: Perform routine "walk-throughs" to identify and address immediate safety or aesthetic issues. Manage basic exterior upkeep, including weeding and trash removal, to ensure a positive first impression.
• Administrative & Technical Support: Respond to urgent facility needs or equipment malfunctions (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) using basic tools or coordinating with the Facilities Engineer. Use existing templates to generate schedules, check requests, and event documents.
• Collaboration: Maintain a positive work atmosphere by behaving and communicating in a manner that enhances collaboration with musicians, guest artists, and staff.
