Position Overview:
Are you looking for a seasonal role where you can stay active, work outdoors, and be part of a dedicated team that makes a real difference when winter weather hits? At JMC, our work goes beyond clearing snow—we remove dangerous snow and ice buildup from the tops of tractor-trailers before those trailers return to the road, using specialized equipment to help reduce the risk of snow and ice coming off moving trailers and creating hazards for other motorists.
As a Facility Technician, you will work at one location which is a specific distribution center nearest to you. Working as part of a team, you’ll perform hands-on snow and ice removal services on an average of approximately 100 trailers per day, helping ensure services are completed safely, efficiently, and to JMC’s standards.
Your responsibilities will include operating a scraper system, directing traffic through the service area, documenting completed services, and performing other hands-on snow and ice removal tasks. When ice is present, team members will work from a secured platform and use a long-handled mallet to physically break up ice buildup on the tops of tractor-trailers so the scraper system can remove it. This can be labor-intensive work requiring repeated physical effort; however, team members work together and rotate responsibilities throughout the service to help distribute the physical demands of the job. Depending on your experience and qualifications, you may also have the opportunity to operate snowplows and/or front-wheel loaders.
This is a weather-dependent, physically demanding position where teamwork, flexibility, communication, and attention to safety are essential. If you're dependable, comfortable working outdoors, ready to work when winter weather hits, and looking to be part of a team that makes a difference, join JMC's winter team and help make the roads safer.
We’re looking for team members with various skill levels and experience, including:
- Snowplow Operators
- Front-Wheel Loader Operators
Key Responsibilities:
You’ll work as part of a team, rotating responsibilities throughout the service to safely and efficiently remove snow and ice to help keep the roads safe:
- Operate Scraper System: Work outside on a platform operating a snow scraper machine.
- Break Up Ice: When ice is present, work from a secured platform and use a long-handled mallet to physically break up ice buildup on the tops of tractor-trailers, allowing the scraper system to remove it.
- Direct Traffic Flow: Guide drivers as they move through the scraper system.
- Snowplow Operation (for qualified operators): Operate pick-up truck with V-Blade snowplow to remove snow from around the scraper systems (only for qualified snowplow operators).
- Heavy Equipment Operation: For qualified operators, use front-wheel loaders with TrucBrush attachments or buckets to safely and efficiently remove snow and ice from tractor trailers.
- Document Service: Keep accurate records for each trailer serviced, including taking photos and filling out required paperwork.
- Responsive Communication: Because our work is weather-dependent and schedules can change quickly, timely and responsive communication is essential—both during scheduled work hours and while off duty when coordinating upcoming work.
- Reliability: Exceptional availability, attendance, and punctuality are critical.

Facility Technician Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a facility technician in New York?
Most facility technician positions in New York require a vocational or technical certificate plus a relevant trade credential, such as a New York State Department of Labor registered apprenticeship completion, an HVAC certificate, or an electrician's license issued through the New York State Department of State Division of Licensing Services. Many candidates start with an associate degree in building technology, facilities management, or a related trade, then pursue certifications like HVAC EPA 608, Certified Maintenance and Reliability Technician, or a New York City-specific Certificate of Fitness for relevant systems.
Which companies hire facility technicians in New York?
New York facility technician roles are posted by Walmart, JMC Enterprises, and Life Time and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. New York's dense mix of healthcare networks, universities, and commercial real estate portfolios means large institutional employers like hospital systems and property management firms are consistently among the most active hirers in the state.
Which New York cities have the most facility technician jobs?
Springville, Lockport, and Albany have the most facility technician openings in New York right now. New York City dominates because of its sheer concentration of commercial office towers, hospital campuses, and university facilities, while Buffalo draws demand from its growing medical corridor and manufacturing base, and Albany's presence of state government buildings and state agency facilities keeps steady openings there year-round.
Are there remote facility technician jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're rare. Facility technician work is hands-on by nature, requiring on-site presence to inspect, repair, and maintain physical building systems. About 0% of facility technician openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions typically involve facilities coordination, vendor scheduling, or work order management rather than direct maintenance and repair.
How can I get hired as a facility technician in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a building maintenance associate or facilities helper role with large New York employers like NYU Langone Health, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, or major commercial property management firms, which regularly take on candidates from adjacent trades backgrounds such as janitorial services, construction labor, or general contracting. New York City Housing Authority and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority both run structured entry-level maintenance programs. Completing a New York State Department of Labor registered apprenticeship or earning an EPA 608 refrigerant handling certification gives candidates without direct experience a meaningful hiring edge.
