If you are looking to hire a facility maintenance company, what are some of the traits you should be looking for in your facilities technician?


Consider these traits when selecting the right technician for your facility maintenance requirements.

Paint oven systems primarily use convection or infrared energy to accelerate the dry time of powder or liquid coated products. The construction, components and energy consumption will vary between these two types. Understanding the root cause of paint defects and how to identify and eliminate them within your chosen paint oven system is important. With this knowledge in mind, you can choose the oven that best suits your product needs.

The industrial cleaning services industry has been under continued pressure to perform superior and thorough jobs, especially since the dawn of the COVID-19 pandemic. These standards are not going to lower any time soon and will continue to be of high demand.

The core of a facility maintenance company are its workers, who execute jobs with boots on the ground. Everything about a company can look fine on paper, but what traits are the inherent and important to look for when hiring a facilities technician? These workers are often viewed as working in the background but that does not mean they do not carry immensely important responsibilities and skills that require constant and vigorous training.

The inherent characteristics listed here help compliment and empower entire teams and should be sought after when hiring a facilities technician. Read on to find out about the desirable traits you should seek:

Dedication


A facilities technician and their responsibilities have become so much more important today especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. There is more pressure to perform, new rules, procedures, schedules – it’s been pure madness to adjust and re-learn how to do things up to the current vigorous cleaning standards. Since the pandemic, a facilities technician’s role in our workplaces has become an integral puzzle piece in preventing the spread of infections. A facilities technician cannot afford to slack and must remain dedicated to performing their tasks thoroughly every time.

Multi-talented


A facilities technician can be called in to various industrial facilities or workplaces to complete a job. The facilities where their skills are needed are variable and often require knowledge from many sectors. A multi-talented individual who can think on their toes and adapt is desirable.

Educated


So much more that goes into industrial and workplace cleaning than people realize. A basic knowledge of diverse fields such as chemistry (infection prevention, microbiology), cleaning and disinfection procedures, and hazardous waste management are just a few examples of what a facilities technician needs to be aware of every day.

There are so many moving parts with regards to health and safety in the workplace, and these skills are continuously being refreshed. The COVID-19 pandemic has put a larger emphasis on the healthcare sector and the need to prevent community spread – but the ripple-effect of the pandemic now touches every industry and workplace worldwide. There is no doubt that many employees had to complete additional training as to meet the vigorous standards that are now required. It is important that your facilities technician team continues to keep all their skills and knowledge up to date as things change for better or for worse.

TEAM Group puts education at the forefront by offering continued training (even seasoned, long-term employees with years of experience) health and safety summits, safety perception surveys, and more.

Flexible

Cleaning and disinfecting protocols, equipment and needs are continuously changing. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an explosion in the development of new processes, many of which have quickly become the ‘new normal’ of how facilities maintenance companies carry out cleaning services. A facilities technician must be flexible and willing to let go of previous ways of doing things. To adapt is to grow, and with many facilities updating their cleaning technologies to keep up with the pandemic, there is no escaping this ‘new normal’.

.Being flexible applies to any industry that requires a facilities technician maintenance team. Equipment is being refined and improved all the time – some examples are more environmentally friendly chemical solutions, UV light technology and surface coatings that prevent hazardous microbes. Learning how to use these new technologies takes time, flexibility, and a certain amount of patience to adjust to a new way of doing things.

How Character Traits and Leadership Come Together

As is possible in any job, a facilities technician may feel disregarded or unrecognized for their hard work. This often stems from management not communicating effectively and not giving (or being open to receiving) feedback from employees. It’s extremely important that a facilities technician embody the right values and believe in the long-term vision of their career and relationship with the company they represent. This can only happen if an employee feels valued and is given the freedom to show leadership within their department or team.

Felt Leadership and How it Empowers Us All

How does a values-led company such as TEAM Group – build trust across managers, clients, and employees? It comes down to felt leadership, which is something we strive to incorporate across the board. TEAM Group has its defined values, goals, and targets – that’s how we’ve grown to support countless industries including: automotive, aerospace, and heavy equipment manufacturing industries in the development of complete facility cleaning programs.

Felt leadership involves everyone and encourages everyone to share and listen, which builds trust and respect. Every company hopes that their staff embodies their values and vision and adjust their actions and behaviors as to benefit the company – because it’s something they genuinely want to do.
