About this role
WHO WE ARE
Planned Parenthood Association of Utah (PPAU) is a non-profit family planning agency and a leader in sexual and reproductive healthcare, advocacy, and education in the state of Utah. We provide high-quality, affordable sexual and reproductive health care for Utahns/people in six health centers across the state.
At PPAU, care is much more than the health, education, and advocacy services we provide; it’s the way we approach our world with compassion and a constant desire to improve. We care with kindness, respect, and are passionate about helping adults and teens of all genders, sexual orientations, races, religions, ethnicities, abilities, and cultural backgrounds lead healthy lives.
Maintenance Technician
Our Facilities and Security team is looking for a dedicated Maintenance Technician to help keep our health centers safe, welcoming, and operating at their best. This is a 32-hour-a-week, benefits-eligible position that primarily works a weekday schedule, with flexibility to coordinate occasional evenings, weekends, or emergency on-call responses with the Facilities and Security Manager.
At Planned Parenthood Association of Utah, our Maintenance Technician is much more than someone who fixes things—they are a trusted problem-solver, a reliable teammate, and an essential part of the team that supports our mission every day. Your work directly impacts the experience of our patients, staff, and community by ensuring our health centers are safe, functional, and well-maintained.
If you enjoy variety in your work, take pride in finding practical solutions, and thrive in an environment where every day brings something new, this could be the perfect opportunity for you. From completing preventative maintenance and facility repairs to coordinating with vendors, supporting security operations, and responding to unexpected facility needs, you'll play a key role in keeping our organization running smoothly.
We're looking for someone who is dependable, detail-oriented, and resourceful—someone who can confidently manage multiple priorities, adapt to changing needs, and remain calm under pressure. This position includes travel between our health center locations throughout Utah, making flexibility and a willingness to be on the move essential.
If you're passionate about making a meaningful impact behind the scenes and want to be part of a mission-driven organization that values teamwork, service, and excellence, we'd love to hear from you.
Job Duties:
- Keep Our Health Centers Running Smoothly: Be the go-to expert for maintaining safe, clean, and fully operational facilities. Perform preventative maintenance, troubleshoot and complete routine repairs—including basic plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and general building maintenance—and ensure maintenance activities are accurately documented across all locations.
- Drive Facility Improvements: Partner with vendors, contractors, and internal teams to coordinate maintenance projects, renovations, and equipment installations. Prepare workspaces, oversee project logistics, and help bring facility improvements to life while minimizing disruption to daily operations.
- Support a Safe & Secure Environment: Serve as a trusted backup for facility security by assisting with cameras, alarm systems, badge access, and other security technologies under the direction of the Facilities & Security Manager. Help respond to and document security incidents while contributing to a culture of safety and preparedness.
- Champion Safety & Compliance: Help ensure our facilities meet the highest standards of safety, compliance, and readiness. Assist with emergency preparedness activities, maintain facility and emergency supply inventories, and uphold organizational policies, including HIPAA, confidentiality, and workplace safety requirements.
- Be the Problem Solver: No two days are the same! Adapt to changing priorities by setting up meeting and event spaces, responding quickly to unexpected facility needs, supporting multiple health center locations, and providing occasional after-hours or on-call emergency assistance to keep operations moving without interruption.
- Make an Impact Every Day: Your work directly supports our patients, staff, and mission by creating welcoming, functional, and dependable spaces where high-quality healthcare can thrive.
What We're Looking For:
- A strong foundation: A high school diploma or equivalent, a valid driver's license, and the ability to travel regularly between our health center locations.
- A hands-on mindset: The ability to safely perform physical work, including standing for extended periods, climbing ladders, and lifting or carrying 50+ pounds.
- Mechanical curiosity: Experience with general maintenance, basic plumbing, electrical, carpentry, or security systems is a plus—but not required. If you're eager to learn and enjoy working with your hands, we'll provide the training you need to succeed.
- Comfort with technology: Basic proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and Outlook) and a willingness to learn facility management, security, and other internal systems.
- A service-first attitude: Excellent communication, organization, and customer service skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities while delivering high-quality work and exceptional support to staff and vendors.
- A collaborative spirit: A dependable team player who values inclusion, works effectively with people from diverse backgrounds, and is committed to supporting Planned Parenthood Association of Utah's mission and creating welcoming, safe spaces for everyone.
We're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, takes pride in their work, and is excited to make a meaningful impact every day. The ideal candidate will bring:
As a mission-driven agency, PPAU is deeply invested in a people-first culture. We believe that exceptional care requires a team as multifaceted as the communities we serve. We welcome every individual who shares our commitment to reproductive freedom and high-quality healthcare.
Your unique path and the perspectives shaped by your lived experiences are what we value most. If you are passionate about doing good and thrive in a collaborative environment, we encourage you to apply—regardless of where your professional journey began. We look forward to hearing your story and seeing how your background can help us provide compassionate care to all.
