Good but dead end job.

Facilities engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Usually working in a clean environment.

Cons

Sometimes work requires plunging toilets and snaking drains for the kitchens. The building is slowly degenerating into a mess mechanically. Many leaks may be fixed but fears of the roof leaking will never pass. Many other systems are slowly breaking down all the time. Clueless management and poor construction will ensure a long career with no chance of advancement.
