What You’ll Do

As a Maintenance Attendant, you’ll help keep UCCU’s buildings, grounds, and workspaces safe, clean, attractive, and running smoothly. You’ll handle minor and miscellaneous maintenance, repair, and upkeep across building systems, grounds, equipment, furniture, and janitorial needs—whether that’s moving and assembling furniture, painting, making minor plumbing and lighting repairs, or performing minor carpentry and general building upkeep. When you spot a bigger repair or maintenance need, you’ll report it to your supervisor so it can be addressed quickly.

Much of your work will focus on the spaces members and employees see every day. You’ll perform detailed cleaning of drive‑up areas, garbage enclosures, building entrances, and other exterior areas, and support grounds maintenance by weeding, trimming, sweeping sidewalks and gutters, picking up trash and litter, and making minor sprinkler repairs. During the winter season, you’ll handle snow removal and ice melt application. As needed, you’ll also support janitorial services with detailed interior cleaning and check that vacuuming, dusting, and window washing meet a high standard. You may also operate building systems equipment to maintain proper building function and assist outside service representatives in checking, maintaining, and repairing building components and equipment.

As part of the Facilities team, you’ll share responsibility for ensuring that all Credit Union space, property, buildings, grounds, equipment, furnishings, utilities, and related systems are maintained, operated, and inspected in a professional and excellent manner. You’ll work closely with teammates, staff, and vendors, keep your supervisor informed of area activities and any significant concerns, attend meetings as required, complete records and reports, and use basic computer programs to communicate and get the job done. You’re also encouraged to share recommendations that help keep UCCU facilities safe, clean, attractive, and reliable.

Beyond your day‑to‑day responsibilities, you’ll take on miscellaneous and specially requested tasks, help set up for events, and occasionally work after‑hours assignments. You’ll complete assigned training, follow established policies and procedures, and perform other duties as assigned.
