Fort Pierce resident Timothy Jackowski is the Indian River State College June 2020 Staff Employee of the Month. Tim began working in November of 2009 in a Maintenance I position with Physical Plant Operation and Maintenance. In August of 2017 Tim was promoted to Maintenance II—the position he holds today as part of the team at the Mueller Campus in Vero Beach.
Tim has earned the reputation as a hard-working, duty-oriented individual who is willing to take on any challenge. He goes about his work quietly and without complaint and possesses excellent organizational skills. Tim is always ready to help out in a tight spot with electrical matters, plumbing and sprinkler work, mitigation efforts during heavy rains or with HVAC issues. He is trustworthy and appreciates the importance of carrying out critical support tasks in a way that enhances the Mueller Campus.
While primarily assigned to the Brackett Library, he regularly steps in to help with maintenance and event preparation at the Richardson Center. Significant events like Entrepreneur of the Year—hosted annually by the IRSC Foundation at the Richardson Center—benefit from Tim’s skills and positive attitude. He helps keep preparation for major events on schedule, which benefits both the internal and external functions he is assigned. His work to assist at the Richardson Center exemplifies the River Way and contributes to the solid reputation the facility maintains as a venue for College and community events.
Those who work alongside Tim readily share the impact he has on Mueller Campus. One co-worker says, “Tim jumps right in as a team player to assist with all sorts of repairs throughout the campus without complaining.” Another adds, “His training in the USAF Red Horse Squadron, Special Operations Command no doubt prepared him to work under pressure.” They continue, stating, “They are the true ‘worker bees’ of that unit!” Finally, one of Tim’s co-workers adds, “Tim is a ‘can do’ player who comes through in the crunch.”
