Facility maintenance is a will be very diverse depending on the function of that facility. That is why it is important that we as service, repair and maintenance technician or just as diverse in our knowledge of various types of equipment,operations, industry,etc.
Learn as much as you can about the facility and it objectives.
Make yourself familiar with various aspects of production
Always look to update and improve on your skills and knowledge
Familiarize yourself with any and all safety rules and procedures required by osha, the industry and any other brought to your attention
Never hesitate to ask another for advice if you’re ever in doubt.

Teresa’s Answer
Facilities management probably varies drastically depending on the type of business/facility. The company I work for has business offices as well as retail stores. The expectation to have a very clean, well maintained facility. Daily cleaning is completed by an outside cleaning company which includes dusting, emptying trash, and vacuuming floor as well as cleaning the bathrooms completely. All light bulbs must be working, ceiling tiles must be free of stains, any water leaks are fixed immediately then any damage caused from the leak is also repaired as part of the initial repair order as well. The floors are also washed/buffed on a quarterly basis. Windows are washed monthly during the warmer months.

In addition to what Fred has stated, facilities maintenance persons provide customer service and support to the occupants of the facilities to which they are assigned.
You can pick a specific trade (electrician, HVAC technician, plumber, welder, etc.), or a more general maintenance technician. Typically specializing in a specific trade will result in a higher pay scale, but limit your duties to those within the field. Remaining more of a generalist will provide a wider range of duties, but frequently at a lower rate of pay.
