The Role: The Ontario Hockey Academy (OHA) is seeking a skilled, multi-talented Maintenance Specialist to join our team. We are looking for a dedicated professional who can balance high-quality facility renovations with the proactive oversight of our academy vehicles.
This is a vital role: you will ensure our campus remains in peak condition and our fleet stays safe and road-ready for our student-athletes.
Key Responsibilities:
- Renovations & Drywall: Lead interior improvement projects, including professional drywall installation, taping, and finishing, as well as painting and carpentry.
- Vehicle Oversight: Conduct regular inspections of academy vehicles (vans/buses). Perform basic maintenance (fluid checks, bulb replacements, tire pressure) and coordinate with external shops for major repairs and safety certifications.
- Facility Upkeep: Manage the day-to-day "fix-it" list, from plumbing repairs to electrical troubleshooting and general campus hardware.
- Project Management: Identify areas of the facility requiring upgrades and execute small-scale renovations from start to finish.
- Safety & Compliance: Ensure both the building and the fleet meet all provincial safety standards and regulations.
What We’re Looking For:
- Renovation Expertise: Strong background in dry-walling and general construction.
- Mechanical Aptitude: Comfortable "under the hood." You should have a solid understanding of vehicle maintenance and the ability to spot mechanical issues before they become breakdowns.
- Reliability: A self-starter who can manage their own schedule and prioritize urgent repairs.
- Professionalism: You take pride in a job well done, whether it’s a perfectly sanded wall or a well-maintained van.
- License: A valid driver’s license with a clean record is mandatory (Commercial license B/E/F is a major plus).
Outdoor & Grounds-keeping Duties:- Landscape maintenance including lawn care, gardening (hedges, flowers etc), raking, and leaf blowing.
- Snow removal and salting during winter months (on-call rotation required/snow plowing experience is an asset).
- Use and maintenance of power tools and yard equipment.

Please submit your resume and a summary of your renovation and mechanical experience to [Insert Email Address] or visit the OHA main office.
