• Strong understanding of safe work practices and preventative maintenance principles
• Ability to prioritize work effectively and respond to urgent maintenance issues

• Ability to work independently while coordinating with property management and service providers
• Valid BC Driver's License
• Ability to lift up to 20 kg and safely move tools, materials, ladders, appliances, and related equipment
• Availability to respond to after‑hours or emergency maintenance situations as required
• Experience with Yardi Maintenance IQ or similar maintenance management systems is considered an asset
