Herkimer County Community College has hired two individuals to serve as assistant directors of facilities: Jason Korniat ’95, of Herkimer, NY, and Edward Lynch, of Ilion, NY.

Korniat has been employed at the College as a groundskeeper since 2010, where he worked to maintain the cleanliness and professional appearance of the campus through such tasks as lawn maintenance and tree and floral upkeep. He also ensured winter safety via road salting, snow removal, and deicing, and determined and repaired irrigation and equipment issues.

Lynch has been an electrician at the College since 2009, where he worked to repair various electrical issues around campus as well as conduct necessary electrical computations, parts ordering, and equipment installation. He also oversaw daily jobs and scheduling.

Korniat previously worked as a general laborer for the Herkimer County Highway Department and as a technician at Turning Stone Resort & Casino, while Lynch has served as the journeyman electrician at the IBEW Local #43 in Syracuse and service manager at Colortyme Rentals.

In their new role as assistant director, Korniat and Lynch will work together to supervise the facilities maintenance department to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the Herkimer College campus.
