Ensuring inspection results, deficiencies and follow-up actions are recorded in Maximo or other approved tracking systems and are brought forward for action.
Supporting work-order setup, work-history capture, record updates and closeout for work performed on Field Unit assets.
Completes field-based facility and asset inspections, validates asset and component information in Maximo, identifies deficiencies, maintenance needs, and potential code-compliance concerns, and supports updates to condition ratings, remaining useful life, and current replacement values for major facility components, while escalating work that requires a certified tradesperson, consultant, or regulated professional.

This position is one of the builder roles in a new Facilities and Fleet team. The Field Unit is bringing together asset record management, asset data quality, current replacement value updates, component-level asset information, maintenance planning, and code-compliance inspection that has previously been spread across different groups and systems.
The work combines field verification and desktop data remediation. Some days will involve visiting sites and documenting what is actually in the field; other days will involve Maximo clean-up, spreadsheets, records reconciliation, deficiency tracking and preparing practical summaries for the EG-06 Facilities and Fleet Supervisor, Asset Manager, trades, operations and other stakeholders.
This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys detail, accuracy, practical field work, building useful tracking systems and turning messy information into reliable records that support maintenance and capital planning.
