Throughout the year as Santa\u2019s head career coach and employment specialist along with the Grinch who serves as the North Pole\u2019s Chief Motivational Officer (CMO), we manage hiring, talent management, training, onboarding, and more for Santa, the Elves, Flying Reindeer, Toy Making Operations, Cooking Making & Baking Operations, Gift Wrapping Operations, and much more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Operations at the North Pole have grown exponentially over the years requiring more and more maintenance and repairs for equipment, facilities, Santa\u2019s sled, and operations. Santa also needed more help for decorations of the North Pole including lights, holiday displays, and placing the star on the holiday tree in the center courtyard of the Campus. Over time, the team experienced many injuries as the Elves had to climb tall ladders to perform the maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Santa decided to hire a Facilities & Equipment Maintenance Manager to take over the job the Elves tried to accomplish. This would free the Elves to focus on their specific jobs of toy making, wrapping, baking, packing, and other tasks while preventing injuries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I spoke with Santa to develop the position description and job requisition order to place on LinkedIn and Indeed. We decided that the new Facilities & Equipment Maintenance Manager needed to be a licensed electrician and be at least six feet or much taller. We also decided that after hiring and onboarding this Facilities & Equipment Maintenance Manager we would then hire a Facilities & Equipment Maintenance team to support the new manager.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By putting on my coaching hat I asked Santa several questions to accurately craft the perfect position description for our new Facilities & Equipment Maintenance Manager. My questions included specific position responsibilities, cultural requirements, particular qualifications, and education\/certifications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Grinch and I then drafted the position description and listing:<\/span><\/p>\n
