Maintenance and Repair Workers, General

General maintenance and repair workers keep buildings, equipment, and facilities running smoothly by handling a wide variety of repair and upkeep tasks. On any given day, they might fix a leaking pipe, repair electrical outlets, patch drywall, replace broken tiles, or troubleshoot malfunctioning HVAC systems. They inspect buildings and equipment regularly to identify problems before they become serious, perform routine maintenance like changing filters or lubricating machinery, and respond to urgent repair requests from building occupants or managers.
