Facilities Technician

Instrumentum is hiring a Facilities Technician for our Richmond, VA offsite reprocessing center. $24.00–$34.00 per hour, depending on experience. Keep the building running so the instruments can keep moving. Instrumentum is a national sterile processing partner — we help hospitals and surgery centers run efficient, compliant, and safe instrument reprocessing operations.

The building you maintain is what makes that possible: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and the sterilization equipment itself all depend on the work this role does every day. The job Two full-time shifts available at this location — day shift and evening shift — supporting a facility that combines climate-controlled interior space with rooftop and mechanical-room work.

What you will do

• Execute scheduled preventive maintenance on HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and other facility infrastructure
• Perform routine inspections to catch wear, safety concerns, and equipment issues early
• Respond to maintenance work orders from sterile processing and other departments
• Handle basic repairs — filters, leaks, lighting, minor equipment malfunctions
• Monitor the building automation system and report anomalies
• Perform general upkeep: painting, minor carpentry, door and hardware repairs
• Document all maintenance activity and repairs in the work order system What you need
• 6 months to 1 year of experience in building maintenance, facilities operations, or a related trade (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, or general maintenance)
• Ability to use hand tools, power tools, and diagnostic equipment safely
• Willingness to participate in an after-hours on-call rotation for emergencies
• Ability to work varied schedules What we would like to see
• OSHA 10 certification
• CPR and First Aid certification
• Prior experience in a healthcare, laboratory, or commercial facility environment
• High school diploma or equivalent Who does well here People who'd rather fix the small problem before it's a work order than wait for it to become one. You're comfortable moving between a climate-controlled office and a rooftop unit in the same shift, and you document what you did instead of just doing it. The physical side of the job This is a production/clinical-adjacent environment — climate-controlled indoors and rooftop/uncontrolled spaces, with ladders and occasional confined spaces. We'd rather you know now than find out in week two.
• Standing and walking more than half your shift
• Frequent reaching, grasping, and hands-on tool work
• Lifting up to 50 lbs regularly; occasional lifting over 50 lbs
• Frequent exposure to biohazardous materials and strong chemical odors; regular PPE use
• Climbing, balancing, bending, and stooping as a routine part of the job
• Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position Pay and benefits
• $24.00–$34.00 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance, effective the first of the month after your start date
• Company-paid life insurance, plus short-term and long-term disability
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
• 401(k) with company match — eligible from your first day
• Paid time off starting at 10 days, increasing with tenure, accruing from day one
• 9 paid holidays
• Employee Assistance Program
• Paid every two weeks Schedule and location Full-time, on-site. Two shift options: 7:30 AM–4:00 PM or 2:00 PM–10:30 PM. After-hours on-call rotation required.
