Facilities Manager

Unity of Charlottesville is an open and inclusive spiritual community dedicated to Love-in-Action. We are seeking a dependable, experienced, hands-on Facilities & Property Manager to care for our three-building campus and 4.5-acre property.

This position is well suited to a retired or semi-retired handyman, contractor, maintenance professional, facilities manager, or experienced tradesperson seeking meaningful, flexible part-time work.

What You’ll Do

• Inspect buildings and property and respond to maintenance concerns.
• Perform minor repairs and handyman work, including basic carpentry, plumbing, painting, caulking, hardware, and similar tasks.
• Monitor HVAC, plumbing, electrical, lighting, doors, roofs, grounds, parking, sidewalks, drainage, and other facilities.
• Coordinate contractors for specialized work such as HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing, landscaping, tree work, and pest control.
• Meet contractors on site, obtain estimates as needed, coordinate access, and monitor completed work.
• Maintain a simple maintenance log and preventive-maintenance schedule.
• Track significant repairs, service records, warranties, and upcoming maintenance needs.
• Help keep our sanctuary, banquet hall, commercial kitchen, classrooms, offices, restrooms, and other spaces safe and functional.
• Communicate significant maintenance needs and recommended expenditures to church leadership.

This is a hands-on maintenance and coordination position, not a janitorial role.

Qualifications

• Experience in handyman work, building maintenance, construction, facilities management, or a related field.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and good judgment about when to call a professional.
• Dependable, trustworthy, self-directed, and comfortable working independently.
• Good communication skills and professionalism with contractors, staff, volunteers, and community members.
• Comfortable using basic hand and power tools.
• Reliable transportation and ability to safely perform routine maintenance tasks.

Retired and semi-retired applicants with substantial relevant experience are especially encouraged to apply.

Schedule & Compensation

• 10–15 hours per week, averaging approximately 15 hours depending on facility needs.
• Flexible schedule arranged with the successful candidate.
• Occasional additional hours may be available for approved projects.
• $26–$30/hour, depending on experience and qualifications.
• Part-time, hourly position; not a 24-hour on-call position.

How to Apply

Please submit a brief description of your relevant experience, general availability, and 2–3 references familiar with your maintenance, construction, facilities, or property-management work.

We’re looking for someone who takes pride in caring for a place that matters to people—and who understands that maintaining our physical spaces is one way we put Love-in-Action into practice.
