Facilities Technician (IFM)

As a Facilities Technician (IFM), you will be responsible for the operations, maintenance and hands-on management of building systems across our nursing homes and eldercare facilities. You will serve as the first point of contact for facilities-related matters on site, taking an Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) approach that emphasises self-performing a broad range of maintenance works to improve response times, reduce vendor reliance and enhance operational reliability.

You will independently troubleshoot, repair and maintain M&E, ACMV, plumbing, electrical, fire safety and healthcare-related systems, while ensuring compliance with statutory requirements and minimising disruption to resident care.

Key Responsibilities:

Building & M&E Maintenance

• Troubleshoot electrical faults and power-related issues.
• Repair lighting, switches, sockets and carry out minor electrical installations.
• Conduct routine inspections of M&E systems.
• Troubleshoot pumps, compressors and associated equipment.
• Attend to emergency breakdowns and fault rectification, including after-hours incidents.

ACMV & Mechanical Systems

• Troubleshoot air-conditioning faults and perform basic ACMV maintenance.
• Support maintenance of chillers, chilled water pumps, AHUs and ventilation systems.
• Conduct equipment inspections and coordinate specialist support for major repairs when required.

Plumbing & Building Fabric Works

• Resolve common plumbing defects, leaks and sanitary fitting issues.
• Carry out painting, touch-up and minor building repair works.
• Restore facilities in-house without requiring external contractors for small-value works.

Fire Safety Compliance

• Conduct fire drills and tabletop exercises.
• Perform fire safety inspections and support fire certificate renewals.
• Inspect hose reels, extinguishers, alarm systems and fire protection infrastructure.
• Maintain compliance with fire safety requirements.

Healthcare Facilities Support

• Troubleshoot resident beds, PA systems, hose reel pump systems and basic medical-related equipment.
• Support maintenance of kitchen equipment.
• Respond promptly to operational issues affecting residents and caregivers.
• Understand and work within the requirements of an elderly care environment.

Facilities Management, Systems & Administration

• Utilise facilities management systems, CMMS and digital work-order platforms (e.g. Microsoft Power Apps) to log, track, manage and close maintenance requests.
• Maintain accurate records of repair, preventive maintenance and inspection activities.
• Support procurement processes, including raising purchase requisitions, collating quotations and providing reports.
• Coordinate and manage external vendors for servicing, repairs and preventive maintenance.
• Support facilities setup, defect management, commissioning and operational readiness activities, particularly for new sites.

Job Requirements:

• At least a NITEC/Higher NITEC/Diploma in Electrical, Mechanical, Facilities/Building Services or a related engineering discipline.
• Minimum 1–2 years of relevant hands-on experience in troubleshooting ACMV and M&E faults; experience in a healthcare or nursing home environment will be a strong advantage.
• Broad IFM competency across M&E, ACMV, plumbing, electrical, fire safety and general building maintenance, with the ability to self-perform works rather than solely coordinate vendors.
• Fire Safety certification (e.g. SCDF Fire Safety Course) will be advantageous.
• Comfortable working with facilities management systems, CMMS and digital work-order platforms; proficient in Microsoft Office applications.
• Creative, resourceful and hands-on, with a strong ownership mindset and cost-conscious approach.
• Able to work independently, manage competing priorities and respond to urgent or after-hours maintenance matters.
• Team player with good communication, interpersonal and organisational skills.
