HOLY FAMILY CATHOLIC CHURCH

Maintenance Supervisor - Part time

 

Position Description:

 

Holy Family (Italian) Catholic Church in Detroit, Michigan is looking to hire a part-time maintenance supervisor. The maintenance supervisor oversees the facilities of the parish and rectory, focusing on coordinating and actively participating in operations, maintenance and repairs as needed. This is done under the supervision of the parish’s Pastor.The church has lawn maintenance and snow plowing performed by neighboring Blue Cross Blue Shield, so coordinating parish needs with them is normally not required or very rare.

 

The position usually requires about 4 hours per week to complete necessary tasks, as the buildings and campus are small. The time of day during which work is to be performed can be negotiated with the selected candidate, but should coincide at least a little with the Pastor’s schedule, as is mutually agreeable, to facilitate communication.

 

Janitorial duties are not included in this position. That said, the maintenance supervisor will be required to clean, sweep, and organize the boiler room and storage areas of the parish; to keep all items proper to these rooms, including tools, in good order; and to transport trash out of these areas as needed.

 

A parish is a place of silence and prayer; the employee may listen to music privately, such as with ear buds, but the parish does not allow broadcasting of sounds such as music or videos.

 

Qualifications/Requirements:

Knowledge and/or training in the following areas are required:

• Routine maintenance of facilities, including boiler/HVAC systems

• Ability to assist in vendor hiring and supervision for repairs or maintenance contractors hired by the parish.

• Knowledge of requirements for safety and safe handling of materials

• Ability to stretch, reach, walk, kneel and stand for extended periods when necessary.

• Ability to perform assigned tasks with minimal supervision.

• Have a high level of discretion and integrity.

• Must have a valid driver’s license.

• As the job requires occasional lifting, moving, and moving of tables and chairs, and other furniture, there are physical demands associated with the position.

• The selected applicant will be required to pass a background check and will also be required to attend Protecting God’s Children prior to employment (at no cost to the applicant; see here for more information: https://www.virtusonline.org/virtus/)
