The Center for Jewish History is home to five partners—American Jewish Historical Society, American Sephardi Federation, Leo Baeck Institute, Yeshiva University Museum, and YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. The partner collections total more than five miles of archival material and span nearly a thousand years of history. When the Center opened its doors as the new "Library of Congress of the Jewish people," it made a commitment to preserve the treasures that live within its walls and make them accessible to scholars, students, and diverse audiences. The Center relies on philanthropic support to do this work.
The Center is currently looking to fill the following position/s:
The Lead Operating Engineer is responsible for the efficient operation, maintenance, and repair of all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems throughout the building. Each system and all respective equipment must be maintained in accordance with Center policies and procedures, manufacturer recommendations, and operate within current federal, state, and local standards, guidelines, and regulations. In addition, the Lead Operating Engineer is responsible for maintaining a clean and safe working environment and conducting routine system and equipment assessments.
Working under limited supervision, the Lead Operating Engineer will exhibit considerable initiative and judgement in selecting vendors, equipment, and supplies, and directing installation, maintenance, and repair activities. The Lead Operation Engineer is required to provide on-call flexibility for off-hour and weekend emergencies.
The salary range for this position is between $80,000 and up to $100,000, based on experience.
The Center for Jewish History is committed to diversity and inclusion. Qualified individuals who bring diverse perspectives to the workplace are especially encouraged to apply.
