225 Oak Street, NY · Construction/Facilities Building Superintendent (Commercial Office) – High-Trust, Hands-On Role
Buffalo, NY (On-site)
$55,000–$65,000 (Hourly/Non-Exempt, Paid Overtime)
About the Opportunity
TES Staffing is supporting a respected property management firm with over 30 years of success across New York State. We are seeking a highly reliable, hands-on Building Superintendent to oversee a 39,000+ sq. ft. commercial office building in downtown Buffalo.

You will be the go-to person on-site, responsible for keeping the building running smoothly, safely, and professionally; while delivering exceptional service to a long-standing, high-profile client.
Why This Role Stands Out
- One building, full ownership – no juggling multiple sites
- High visibility & trust – you are the face of operations on-site
- Stability + long-term client relationship (15+ years)
- Upcoming renovation project – opportunity to be involved in planning, vendor coordination, and execution
- Strong support structure – backed by experienced leadership and admin processes
Day-to-Day Building Operations
- Perform hands-on maintenance: basic electrical, plumbing, lighting, patching/painting, repairs
- Proactively walk the building daily; identify issues and fix them before they become problems
- Maintain supplies, tools, and overall building readiness
- Support furniture moves, workstation setup, and internal adjustments
- Manage vendors (snow removal, landscaping, contractors) and hold them accountable to performance standards
- Source vendors, gather quotes, and assist in RFP and bid comparison processes
- Support building improvements and upcoming renovation efforts
- Coordinate work that falls outside of standard scope with client approvals
- Ensure sidewalks, entrances, and exterior areas are safe and maintained; especially during snow events (this may require hands-on shoveling/salting during the day)
- Maintain a safe environment for all occupants; safety is non-negotiable
- Accurately track time, work performed, and vendor activity
- Deliver exceptional responsiveness; if something needs fixing, it gets done quickly
- Work within a structured system where requests flow through client administration
- Communicate clearly and professionally with client stakeholders
- Be available for after-hours emergencies (rare, but critical)
- 3+ years of commercial building or facilities experience
- Strong hands-on maintenance skills (must be able to fix issues—not outsource everything)
- Experience managing vendors and holding them accountable
- Ability to work independently with minimal oversight
- High level of integrity, reliability, and accountability (this is essential)
- Strong communication and follow-through
- Comfortable operating within structured processes and approvals
- The building runs smoothly with no surprises
- Issues are handled quickly, proactively, and correctly
- The client is consistently happy and confident in operations
- You are seen as dependable, trustworthy, and solutions-oriented
- $55K–$65K depending on experience and skill level
- Can exceed $65k base IF you are fully capable of handling all aspects of the role independently
- Hourly / Non-exempt (paid for all hours worked, including overtime)
- Medical benefits (United Healthcare/Oxford – employee contribution ~10% for single coverage)
- Option for higher compensation if medical benefits are not needed
- 401(k) (no match)
- Generous holiday schedule (13 paid holidays, including Juneteenth)
- Paid time off:
- When the building is closed, you are still paid
- Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM – 3:30 PM
- Location: On-site in Buffalo, NY
- Building type: Commercial office (no residential)
- Background check and drug screening required
This is not a role for someone who cuts corners.
This is for someone who:
- Takes pride in their work
- Shows up, does the job right, and owns the building
- Understands that trust and consistency matter just as much as skill
