Job description

Commercial Maintenance & Construction Technician

The Commercial Maintenance & Construction Technician is a versatile field team member who handles commercial renovation, maintenance, and refresh work for J. Thomas Property Services clients. This is a ground‑floor opportunity to grow with a company that is actively expanding its commercial property services portfolio across DC/Baltimore Region. This is not a specialized trade role, it is a multi‑skill position requiring someone who can pivot between tasks, self‑start on job sites, and get things done with minimal oversight. The ideal hire is someone who takes pride in quality work regardless of the task.

What you’ll do

Construction & Renovation (Primary Focus)

Commercial buildouts and remodels: not new construction, but renovation‑style work in occupied commercial buildings (think: reconfiguring office layouts, framing new walls, doorway modifications). Relevant experience includes:

• Commercial drywall (metal stud framing, fire‑rated assemblies, demising walls)
• Interior framing: understanding stud spacing, metal vs. wood framing nuances
• Ceiling grid work, tile installation
• Door installation, replacement, hardware
• Basic carpentry and trim work
• Light fixture installation and upgrades

Maintenance & Refresh Work

• Pressure washing
• Gutter cleaning and downspout inspection
• Concrete patching, brick repointing
• Asphalt cold patch repairs
• Furniture/fixture mounting and assembly
• Bulk trash hauling (when needed)

Candidates must be comfortable stepping out of "builder mode" and into labor/general maintenance tasks. This is expected and is framed as part of the company’s growth stage.

Qualifications

• Handyman service experience: especially commercial or light commercial
• Commercial renovation or remodel background (preferred over pure residential)
• Any construction field work where they’ve framed, drywalled, painted, or renovated spaces
• NOT required: blueprint‑to‑finish construction or heavy structural work

Key Skills

• Drywall and paint: must be comfortable with these, even if not expert level
• Metal stud framing: understanding of commercial vs. residential differences
• Fire‑rated assemblies: working knowledge of demising walls and ratings is a plus
• Ability to troubleshoot and problem‑solve when plans change on a job site
• Comfortable operating power tools, hand tools, and specialty equipment

Must‑Have Qualities

• Self‑starter: can receive a job list and execute without handholding
• Flexible attitude: no ego about task type
• Reliable: punctual, consistent, shows up ready to work
• Problem‑solver: knows when to pivot and how to figure things out
• Team player: willing to support other crew members across tasks

The pay range for this role is: $26 - $33 USD per hour
