About the company
Indian Creek School is an independent, co-ed day school in which 600 students age 3 to Grade 12 partner with innovative teachers in an outstanding educational program. Located on a beautiful, 114-acre campus in Crownsville, Maryland (just north of Annapolis), ICS students are nurtured and known as individuals while being challenged to discover their passions, purpose, and potential. The School’s vision statement reads: Indian Creek is the premier independent school in the Annapolis area where kindness is currency, well-being is priority, and excellence in education is relentlessly pursued. The Indian Creek community is actively committed to diversity, equity, and belonging, and we foster an inclusive environment in which students feel understood, valued, respected, and affirmed.
ICS seeks faculty and staff who support our mission and values, who are committed to nurturing learners as individuals, and who are looking to join a vibrant community of professionals who are passionate about education. Faculty and staff are offered meaningful opportunities for professional growth. Because we are a small school, every member of our community plays a critical role in making sure the institution lives up to its mission.
About the role
This position is full time, 12 months and reports to the Director of Facilities. The preferred schedule is 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.; however, the School is open to discussing a later eight-hour shift with a qualified candidate.
Requirements
The Facilities Maintenance Associate helps operate and care for Indian Creek School’s buildings, grounds, athletic and performing arts facilities, and campus infrastructure each day. The associate performs routine repairs and preventive maintenance, responds to maintenance requests using a Computerized Maintenance Management System (FMX), and prepares spaces for daily operations, school events, and facility rentals. The position also conducts safety and security checks, identifies concerns that require specialized attention, and helps keep the campus safe, clean, and ready for students, employees, families, and visitors. Success in this role requires initiative, sound judgment, and flexibility as campus needs change throughout the day.
This position works around students during the school day. The associate must maintain appropriate professional boundaries, follow school policies on student safety and conduct, and arrange work so that tools, chemicals, and active work areas are secured and instruction is disrupted as little as possible. The employee must complete required school training and follow applicable Maryland reporting obligations. Indian Creek School welcomes candidates who will contribute to an inclusive and respectful school community.
