Description
Good Harvest Market is Waukesha County's largest independently owned natural and organic grocer. We're looking for a hands-on problem solver who takes as much pride in the cleanliness of our facility as they do in a successful repair. This is a varied, active role that keeps our store, restaurant, and grounds running safely and looking their best every day.
What You'll Do
- Keep our facility clean and safe — restrooms, floors, entrances, and customer areas are a daily priority and a core part of this role
- Perform onsite equipment repairs and preventative maintenance on refrigeration, commercial kitchen equipment, HVAC, and building systems
- Troubleshoot facility and equipment issues and determine when outside contractors are needed
- Maintain outdoor spaces including walkways, patios, and the playground area — weeding, planting, litter pickup, and general upkeep — and assist with weather-related safety needs such as salting and clearing walkways
- Track completed tasks, ongoing projects, and repair activity to support accountability and continuity
What We're Looking For
- A hands-on self-starter who takes pride in both fixing things and keeping spaces clean
- Someone who genuinely doesn't mind the custodial side of the job — daily cleaning is a core function of this role, not an afterthought
- Organized and dependable, with the ability to manage priorities and follow through consistently
- Comfortable working indoors and outdoors in all weather conditions year-round
What You'll Get
- $20–$25/hr depending on experience, paid weekly every Friday
- Full time benefits including medical, dental, vision, employer-paid life and disability insurance, paid time off, and paid holidays
- Simple IRA retirement plan with employer match
- Generous employee discount on store products and restaurant dining
- A stable, mission-driven workplace
Requirements
Experience & Skills
- Prior experience in facilities maintenance, equipment repair, or a related hands-on trade required
- Demonstrated ability to perform onsite repairs and troubleshoot equipment issues independently
- Experience with commercial kitchen equipment, refrigeration, or HVAC systems strongly preferred
- Comfortable with custodial and groundskeeping duties as a daily core function of the role
- Ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and use good judgment about safety and scope
- Comfortable using basic tracking tools to log tasks, projects, and completed repairs
Work Environment & Schedule
- Full time, Tuesday through Saturday with occasional flexibility needed based on operational demands
- Must be available to respond to weather-related needs as they arise
- Work takes place both indoors and outdoors in varying weather conditions year-round
Physical Requirements
- Frequent lifting and carrying up to 40 pounds; regular lifting up to 75 pounds during maintenance tasks and weather events
- Frequent bending, twisting, reaching, climbing, and standing throughout the shift
- Use of mechanical aids such as dollies and sliders for heavier equipment
