- Occasionally work on weekends or evenings for tasks that cannot be completed while children are in the building (e.g., painting, noisy repairs).
- Travel to other locations within the Jacksonville area and occasionally to Orlando if needed.
- Ensure the building is fully stocked with necessary tools and supplies. May need to make some purchases at stores like Home Depot or Lowe's.
Qualifications:
- Strong background in construction or building maintenance (at least 2-3 years preferred).

- Reliable transportation and ability to travel between locations as needed.
