Remote Maintenance Person – United States – Keep Facilities Running Smoothly from Anywhere

Join Apex Facility Solutions as a fully remote Maintenance Person and become the backbone of our clients’ operational uptime. You’ll leverage cutting‑edge CMMS tools, video‑guided troubleshooting, and a nationwide network of vendors to deliver preventive and corrective maintenance without ever stepping onto a site.

About the Role

As a Remote Maintenance Person, you will own the end‑to‑end maintenance lifecycle for a diverse portfolio of commercial properties, industrial plants, and multi‑family residences. Your day starts with reviewing automated asset health dashboards, prioritizing work orders, and coordinating with on‑site technicians via secure video links. You’ll create and update preventive maintenance schedules, manage vendor contracts, and ensure compliance with OSHA, EPA, and local building codes—all from the comfort of your home office.

What You’ll Do

Preventive Maintenance Planning

Develop data‑driven PM calendars using equipment runtime analytics, manufacturer recommendations, and historical failure trends. You’ll configure recurring tasks in the CMMS, set automated alerts, and continuously refine intervals to maximize asset reliability while minimizing downtime.

Rapid Response Repairs

When an urgent issue arises, you’ll triage the request, guide on‑site staff through diagnostic steps via live video, and dispatch the nearest qualified vendor from our vetted network. Your ability to diagnose remotely reduces mean‑time‑to‑repair by up to 40 %.

Documentation & Reporting

Maintain meticulous records of all inspections, repairs, and parts usage. Generate monthly KPI reports—MTBF, MTTR, compliance adherence, and cost‑per‑asset—for senior leadership and client stakeholders.

Requirements

Technical Expertise

Minimum 4 years of hands‑on maintenance experience across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and building automation systems. Proficiency with at least one enterprise CMMS (e.g., Fiix, UpKeep, Hippo) and comfortable reading schematics, PLC logic, and BACnet points.

Remote Work Readiness

Proven track record of managing maintenance programs remotely. Strong written and verbal communication skills, ability to create clear SOPs, and comfort using collaboration platforms (Slack, Teams, Zoom) for real‑time coordination.

Certifications & Education

Associate’s degree in Facilities Management, Mechanical/Electrical Engineering Technology, or equivalent experience. Preferred certifications: CMRP, CFM, OSHA 30‑Hour, EPA 608 Universal. A valid driver’s license is required for occasional site visits (travel < 5 %).

Salary Range

$45,000 – $65,000 USD per year (commensurate with experience, certifications, and geographic cost‑of‑living adjustments).

Benefits & Perks

Health & Wellness

Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans; Health Savings Account with employer match; annual wellness stipend for gym memberships or home‑office ergonomics.

Professional Growth

Tuition reimbursement up to $5,000/year for relevant certifications; access to a curated library of technical courses; quarterly mentorship sessions with senior facilities engineers.

Work‑Life Balance

Flexible core hours (10 am–3 pm ET), unlimited PTO with a minimum‑use policy, and a $1,200 annual home‑office stipend for equipment, high‑speed internet, and productivity tools.
