Facilities Maintenance Technician

Description

Help Keep One of Tulsa’s Most Iconic and Beloved Attractions Running at Its Best! 

At Gathering Place, our facilities are more than buildings and equipment; they are part of an experience enjoyed by countless guests from Tulsa and beyond.

We’re looking for a skilled, hands-on Facilities Maintenance Technician who takes pride in solving problems, fixing things the right way, and keeping a complex, one-of-a-kind park safe, beautiful, and available for our guests every day.

You might troubleshoot a mechanical issue, repair playground equipment, complete preventative maintenance, address a plumbing or electrical problem, make a carpentry repair, or respond to an unexpected need somewhere across the park. You don’t have to be an expert in every trade. 

We’re looking for someone with broad maintenance experience, strong mechanical aptitude, and curiosity and initiative to troubleshoot problems.

If you enjoy variety, working with your hands, being outside, figuring out how things work, and seeing the direct impact of your work, we’d like to hear from you.
