• Diagnose and repair complex engineering faults in building systems, performing hands-on interventions where needed within the scope of qualifications and authorizations.
• Establish and maintain the critical spare-parts inventory, define minimum/maximum stock levels for critical assets, track stock movements and consumption through the CMMS, and coordinate with Procurement for timely replenishment and cost control.
• Maintain and continuously update the preventive maintenance plan in the CMMS, including frequencies, checklists, and spare-part requirements.
• Ensure all interventions are documented in the CMMS with root cause, actions taken, parts used, and time on task.

• Define the technical scope of work for external maintenance services and review vendor proposals from a technical standpoint.
• Supervise on-site interventions performed by external contractors and formally accept the completion of work.
• Provide technical input to Operations Support and the COO during vendor selection and contract renewal cycles.

• Ensure all maintenance activities comply with Romanian legislation on health and safety at work (Law 319/2006), fire prevention (PSI), and applicable technical standards (ISCIR, ANRE, environmental).
• Supports, contributes or supervises the good maintenance of the technical documentation, periodic inspection records, and authorizations for regulated equipment.
• Support internal and external audits (HSE, ISO 9001/14001/45001 where applicable, insurer inspections).
• Collaborates closely with the HSE Officer / Operations Compliance Manager to ensure the campus completely meets the operational and compliance standards at all times.

• Monitor, and optimize the campus Building Management System (BMS) to maximize energy efficiency and maintain optimal environmental controls across all school facilities.
• Apply formal engineering troubleshooting methodologies (e.g., FMEA, 5-Why analysis) to diagnose systemic failure modes in complex HVAC, electrical, and mechanical infrastructure.
• Conduct engineering-economic evaluations, energy-auditing analysis, and equipment lifecycle cost assessments to advise the COO on capital expenditure (CapEx) planning.
• Contribute to capital project planning by providing technical input on equipment specification and lifecycle costs.

• Directly supervise, mentor, and develop the school’s internal maintenance team, ensuring high technical standards and accountability.
• Oversee the team’s daily briefings, task assignments, leave planning, and overtime coordination to ensure optimal campus coverage.
• Assess technical skill gaps within the maintenance team and implement training programs, specifically regarding safety legislation, BMS, and advanced HVAC troubleshooting.

• Provide weekly operational updates to the leadership team on work-order status, open issues, and risks.
• Produce monthly maintenance performance reports (uptime, MTTR (mean time to repair), MTBF (mean time between failures), planned vs. reactive ratio, spend vs. budget) for review with the COO.
• Monitors Maintenance spend vs. approved budget (target: within ±5%).
• Immediately escalate any incident with business-continuity, safety, or significant cost impact.
• Leads the notification process of technical or infrastructure incidents recorded in the campus and follows-up until resolution.

AISB was founded in 1962 and is currently Bucharest's largest international school. We are a not-for-profit, independent, secular, co-educational school with many parents participating on the Board of Trustees and its committees. Parents play a very important role in managing and sustaining our school.

Our language of instruction is English and our teaching is based upon the prestigious International Baccalaureate Programme throughout the entire school, from Early Childhood through to Grade 12. The New England Association of Schools and Colleges, The Council of International Schools, and the International Baccalaureate Organization accredit our school.
