Position Overview: We are seeking a Facilities and Custodial Technician to join our team in maintaining and enhancing our International Headquarters and Visitor's Center, ensuring it is safe, functional, and visually appealing. This is a hands-on role perfect for someone with a strong background in facilities who thrives in a dynamic environment. As part of the team at ICF, you will play a crucial role in supporting the infrastructure that sustains both our dedicated staff and the cranes we work tirelessly to protect.

Your responsibilities will include a broad range of tasks, from general cleaning (bathrooms, floors, windows, trash, etc.) to light carpentry and plumbing to groundskeeping, and coordinating repairs across our campus. You will ensure that our buildings, grounds, and exhibits run smoothly and that our visitors and staff have a safe and welcoming environment. A strong sense of teamwork and collaboration will be essential, as you will work closely with your colleagues to manage projects, prioritize tasks, and respond to urgent needs. The work you do is integral to supporting our mission and maintaining an engaging, functional environment for our staff, visitors, and the cranes in our care.

Benefits and Work Schedule: At ICF, we recognize and value the contributions of our team members. Compensation for the position is competitive and commensurate with experience. In addition to a base hourly wage, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with employer contributions, generous paid time off, and additional perks designed to support work-life balance and well-being. The position is full-time (40 hours per week) with an afternoon into evening shift schedule (start time as early as noon or as late as 2pm). Occasional overtime is required. During the busy visitor season (May-October), you will be required to cover one weekend day per week and some holidays. Outside of this period, the schedule is Monday-Friday with a pay range of $20-22 per hour.

Qualifications: To excel in this role, you should have at least one year of technical training or certification in a relevant field, along with at least 2 years of experience in facilities maintenance. A valid state driver's license is required, and you must be comfortable working in various weather conditions, as much of the role involves outdoor tasks. Strong organizational skills, a proactive and solutions-focused mindset, and the ability to troubleshoot and adapt quickly to changing work environments and technologies are key. A team-oriented attitude and the ability to balance multiple priorities while maintaining high standards of work will set you up for success.

Deadline to apply is May 9, 2025.
