About Recess
Recess is a growing childcare company operating small, neighborhood-based childcare facilities in Philadelphia. We’re looking for a dependable, detail-oriented Facilities & Maintenance Technician to help keep our locations exceptionally clean, safe, organized, and well maintained.
This is a hands-on position combining professional cleaning with light maintenance and facility upkeep. We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, notices things before they become problems, and can work independently without needing constant direction.
Responsibilities
Cleaning & Sanitation
Vacuum and mop floors throughout the facilities
Thoroughly clean and sanitize bathrooms
Clean sinks, fixtures, mirrors, windows, doors, and glass
Deep-clean high-use areas as needed
Clean baseboards, corners, walls, and other areas that require periodic attention
Empty trash and handle waste disposal as needed
Help maintain an exceptionally clean environment appropriate for a childcare facility
Perform periodic deep-cleaning projects
Facility Maintenance
Complete minor repairs and general handyman tasks
Assemble or repair furniture, shelving, equipment, and fixtures
Perform minor painting, patching, caulking, and touch-ups
Replace light bulbs, batteries, hardware, and other basic facility items
Identify maintenance concerns and communicate them to management
Help coordinate access for outside vendors or specialized repairs when necessary
Perform routine preventative-maintenance checks
Assist with facility setup, organization, storage, and improvement projects
What We're Looking For
Prior professional cleaning, facilities, maintenance, handyman, or similar experience
Strong attention to detail
Reliable and punctual
Comfortable working independently
Able to follow recurring cleaning and maintenance checklists
Comfortable using basic hand tools and cleaning equipment
Ability to identify problems and proactively recommend solutions
Comfortable working in a licensed childcare environment
Willing to complete any background clearances or facility requirements applicable to the position
Ability to safely lift and move typical facility supplies, furniture, and equipment
Schedule
Approximately 9–12 hours per week.
Work will generally be scheduled around facility operations, including designated cleaning periods and occasional maintenance projects. Some evening and/or weekend availability may be helpful.
Employment
Part-time, hourly contractor position
Opportunity for additional hours as Recess grows and opens additional locations
Ideal Candidate
This is a great role for someone who enjoys being the person who keeps a facility running smoothly behind the scenes. You should be equally comfortable thoroughly cleaning a bathroom, noticing a loose cabinet hinge, assembling a new shelf, touching up a wall, or flagging a maintenance issue before it becomes a larger problem.
We're looking for someone dependable who wants to take real ownership over the cleanliness and physical condition of our facilities.
