At Tropical Smoothie Café, we inspire a healthier lifestyle by serving amazing food and smoothies with a bit of tropical fun. Our team is what makes it happen, driven by four values: Relationships Rule, Think Bigger, All In, and High Five. If you represent Integrity, Drive, and Enthusiasm, we'd love to meet you.
About the Role
We're hiring a Facilities Coordinator to help keep our cafés running smoothly, safely, and guest-ready across multiple locations. This is a hands-on, in-the-field role for a proactive self-starter who takes ownership, spots problems before they grow, and communicates well with our office team. It's a growth-oriented position — you'll partner closely with the office day to day, with more responsibility and independence coming performance allows.
What You'll Do
- Visit café locations regularly to keep facilities clean, safe, and in good working order
- Perform hands-on repairs and preventive maintenance, and troubleshoot equipment issues
- Coordinate and supervise outside service providers when specialized work is needed
- Identify maintenance and safety issues early and help develop a plan to resolve them
- Meet vendors on site, communicate scope of work, and support pricing decisions with the office
- Transport parts, supplies, and equipment between locations as needed
- Represent the company on site during inspections and facility audits
- Handle light remodels and smaller improvement projects, and assist with new-location build-outs
- Keep the office updated with clear, timely field communication
- Navigate in a fast-paced restaurant environment without impeding operations
- Face-to-face interactions with operations team members
- Lifting, moving, and carrying heavy equipment
What We're Looking For
- A self-starter who is accountable, detail-oriented, and takes ownership
- Strong mechanical aptitude and the ability to troubleshoot independently
- Experience in maintenance, HVAC, refrigeration, or a related trade
- Dependable, professional, and a clear communicator
- Comfortable working independently across multiple locations
- Valid driver's license and clean driving record
- Willingness to learn and grow
Schedule & Logistics
- Full-time, minimum 40 hours per week — a results focused role that may call for some flexibility when time is critical
- Company vehicle provided for travel between café locations, storage, supply stores, main office and various locations as needed
- Occasional emergency call-outs on an as-needed basis
- Covers current and future locations across Lafayette, Youngsville, Broussard, Carencro, New Iberia, Lake Charles, and Gonzales
Compensation & Benefits
- Salary: $45,000–$50,000 per year, based on experience and skillset
- Up to $300 per month toward a company-offered health insurance plan (after 3 months)
- Paid vacation (starting after 3 months)
- 50% employee discount at company owned Tropical Smoothie Café locations
- Continuing education and certification opportunities
- Annual performance reviews
