When you join our team, you'll work alongside some of the most experienced leaders in the industry — professionals who share their knowledge freely and lead by example.

About the Role
Minnesota Cannabis Services partners with leading cannabis operators across cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and retail to deliver expertise in legal, finance, analytics, marketing, HR, and technology.
The Facilities & Maintenance Coordinator owns the maintenance ticket queue for every site we support: retail stores, cultivation facilities, and manufacturing facilities. When something breaks, you hear about it first, decide what happens next, and stay on it until it is actually fixed. You'll handle straightforward repairs yourself, dispatch licensed trades for the rest, run the vendor program, and work with the construction team so every new store opens with its equipment documented and its maintenance scheduled.
Not every ticket is equal. A broken display fixture in a store is an inconvenience. A failed dehumidifier in a flower room can cost a harvest. This role is about knowing the difference and moving accordingly. You will report to the Director of Construction and Facilities.
What You'll Do
Own the Ticket Queue
- Serve as the single intake point for every facilities and maintenance request across all supported sites
- Triage each ticket: confirm the real problem, identify the affected system, and prioritize by risk to product, crop, safety, compliance, and revenue
- Keep the ticket system accurate and current, and keep requesters informed
- Spot aging and stalled tickets, escalate blockers, and consolidate repeat issues into a single root-cause item
- Verify work is complete before closing any ticket, using photos and sign-off, and reopen work that isn't right
Fix What You Can, Dispatch the Rest
- Handle routine in-house repairs: lighting and fixtures, filter changes, door and lock hardware, shelving and fixture assembly, drywall patching, touch-up paint, minor plumbing and carpentry
- Scope work accurately before dispatch so vendors arrive with the right information, parts, and access
- Schedule around store hours, production runs, and harvest schedules to minimize disruption
- Coordinate vendor site access, escort, and logging at licensed facilities
- Escalate electrical, plumbing, refrigerant, structural, and fire suppression work to licensed trades
- Walk sites regularly to catch deferred maintenance and safety issues early
Run the Vendor Program
- Own the approved vendor list across all trades, including after-hours and emergency coverage
- Source and qualify contractors, compare bids, and negotiate rates, service agreements, and response times
- Keep certificates of insurance, trade licenses, and required credentials current
- Track vendor performance on responsiveness, quality, pricing, and callbacks, and replace vendors who don't hold up
- Reconcile invoices against approved scope and ensure warranty work is billed to warranty
Prevent the Next Failure
- Build and run the preventive maintenance schedule across HVAC, dehumidification, filtration, water systems, electrical, roofing, refrigeration, and fire and life safety
- Maintain the asset register: make, model, serial, install date, warranty status, and service history
- Keep filters, belts, lamps, and consumables stocked ahead of scheduled service
- Flag chronic-failure equipment and make the repair-versus-replace case with cost history
Support Cultivation & Manufacturing
- Respond to environmental system failures (HVAC, dehumidification, CO2, irrigation, lighting, power) with urgency matched to the risk to plants and in-process product
- Coordinate emergency response and temporary mitigation when crop or product is at risk, including after hours
- Protect sanitation-critical and controlled environments so maintenance never compromises product safety
- Schedule disruptive work around harvest and production wherever possible
Work With Construction
- Support new store builds, remodels, and expansions alongside the construction team
- Provide maintainability input during design review: equipment access, service clearances, finish durability, and parts availability
- Manage punch lists through closeout and verify corrections before sign-off
- Collect closeout documentation and add new equipment to the asset register and PM schedule before opening
What You Bring
Required:
- 3+ years in facilities maintenance, building operations, property management, or a skilled trade, including responsibility for a work order or ticket queue
- Working knowledge of commercial building systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, refrigeration, fire and life safety) sufficient to triage accurately and evaluate vendor work
- Hands-on repair ability, plus the judgment to know when a licensed trade is required
- Experience sourcing, scheduling, and managing outside contractors
- Comfort with a ticketing or maintenance management system and spreadsheets, with a track record of accurate documentation
- Ability to manage competing requests across multiple sites and communicate timing honestly
- Valid Minnesota driver's license, clean driving record, and reliable transportation
- Must be at least 21 years of age
- Must report to work sober at all times
Preferred:
- Experience supporting multi-site retail, warehouse, or production operations
- Experience in cannabis, food and beverage manufacturing, pharmacy, or another regulated and inspected environment
- Familiarity with cultivation or manufacturing environmental systems: dehumidification, filtration, irrigation, process cooling
- Experience negotiating vendor rates and managing service agreements and warranty claims
- Construction, buildout, or punch-list closeout experience
- Trade certification or coursework: HVAC, electrical, facilities management, EPA Section 608, or similar
- OSHA 10 or OSHA 30
Physical Requirements & Work Environment
- Ability to work in tight and elevated spaces and climb ladders
- Routine travel between client retail, cultivation, and manufacturing sites
- Work is performed in office, retail, warehouse, cultivation, and manufacturing environments that may include noise, dust, humidity and temperature variation, maintenance chemicals, plant material, and cannabis odor
- All sites are subject to continuous video surveillance and regulated access control
Any offer of employment is contingent on the successful completion of our pre-employment process, which includes your written consent to a background check conducted by a third-party consumer reporting agency.
This position requires driving on Company business. A review of your motor vehicle record and proof of a valid driver's license and insurability will be required after an offer is extended.

Facilities Maintenance Technician Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a facilities maintenance technician in Minnesota?
Most facilities maintenance technicians in Minnesota enter through a combination of vocational training and on-the-job experience, with formal apprenticeships or technical college programs being the most direct path. Programs at Hennepin Technical College, Saint Paul College, and Minnesota State College Southeast offer certificates in HVAC, electrical systems, and building maintenance. Employers across healthcare, property management, and manufacturing typically require EPA 608 certification for any refrigerant work, and a Minnesota boiler operator license strengthens candidates competing for institutional roles.
Which companies hire facilities maintenance technicians in Minnesota?
Employers hiring facilities maintenance technicians in Minnesota right now include Walmart, Good Samaritan, and Archdiocese of St. Paul & Minneapolis, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Minnesota's large healthcare networks, university systems, and corporate campus operators are consistently among the most active hirers in this field.
Which Minnesota cities have the most facilities maintenance technician jobs?
Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and Brooklyn Park account for the largest share of facilities maintenance technician openings in Minnesota. The Twin Cities metro dominates because of its dense concentration of corporate headquarters, hospital systems, and commercial real estate, while Rochester's volume is driven largely by the Mayo Clinic's extensive physical campus, and Duluth sees demand from its industrial port operations and regional healthcare infrastructure.
Are there remote facilities maintenance technician jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of facilities maintenance technician openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, which reflects how hands-on the role is by nature. The portions of the work most likely to allow any remote flexibility are administrative duties like work order coordination, vendor scheduling, and preventive maintenance planning rather than the technical trades work itself.
How can I get hired as a facilities maintenance technician in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a building maintenance assistant or facilities associate role, which large Minnesota property management companies and health systems regularly post as stepping stones requiring no prior trade experience. Hennepin Healthcare, Fairview Health Services, and the University of Minnesota run structured maintenance technician development programs that onboard candidates from adjacent backgrounds like custodial services, groundskeeping, or warehouse operations. Earning an EPA 608 certification before applying gives entry-level candidates a measurable edge in a competitive applicant pool.
Where can I find and apply to facilities maintenance technician jobs in Minnesota?
