Shalom Community Co-operative is seeking a reliable and experienced maintenance worker to help with minor repair and maintenance tasks around our 40-unit housing co-op, located in the Forest Heights neighbourhood of Kitchener.

AVAILABILITY/HOURS:
1 - 2 days/week @ 6 hours/day
Initial need is for twice-weekly availability, which will transition to once-weekly availability after 2 – 3 months. This reflects the need to address a current backlog of maintenance tasks before shifting into a more routine schedule focused on general upkeep and timely response to issues as they arise.
There may still be occasional need for twice-weekly availability in the future, such as during unexpectedly heavy demand, or when larger or more time-consuming work requests occur.
