Building Engineer / Building Manager
New Medical Facility | Bakersfield, CA 93311
Employer: SASD Enterprises, LLC
Location: Bakersfield, CA 93311
Employment Type: Full-Time
Reports To: Supervisor
Schedule: Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM Pacific Time

Position Summary
SASD Enterprises, LLC is seeking an experienced, hands-on Building Engineer / Building Manager to serve as the on-site technical lead for a new medical facility in Bakersfield, California.
The ideal candidate is a well-rounded generalist with a working understanding of mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems — someone who can independently diagnose and repair across all three trades. You will own the building’s preventive maintenance program, respond to reactive service calls, manage outside vendors, and serve as the day-to-day point of contact for facility operations.
Compensation
The base salary for this position is $75,000 per year. This figure is negotiable, and final compensation is determined by the candidate’s professional experience, technical certifications, and licensure. Candidates with significant building and facility maintenance experience may be offered above the base rate.
SASD Enterprises, LLC places genuine value on hands-on experience. A seasoned building engineer brings judgment, efficiency, and diagnostic instinct that cannot be trained quickly, and ownership would rather invest in that capability than settle for less of it. Candidates with real depth across mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems are encouraged to apply and to discuss compensation openly during the interview process.
Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage; paid time off and holidays; tool allowance; certification reimbursement.
