Maintaining climate-controlled rooms (45°F – 80°F depending on department)
Executing cleaning procedures with accuracy, consistency, and pride

Changing water filters
Checking and recording outdoor mouse traps
Greasing and repairing metal transport carts
Minor plumbing, carpentry, and electrical repairs
Updating logs, maintenance sheets, and records
Following the farm’s structured maintenance schedule
