• Assist with capital improvement and property enhancement projects.
• Monitor vendor work as needed to help ensure quality and safety standards are met.
• Communicate regularly with the Community Manager regarding property conditions, maintenance needs, priorities, and completed work.
• Help identify maintenance concerns before they become larger problems.
• Maintain a safe, clean, and organized work environment.
• Pitch in wherever needed to support the community and provide a great experience for residents and team members.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience in maintenance, groundskeeping, landscaping, construction, or property maintenance; experience with manufactured housing, RV communities, apartments, or similar properties is a plus.
• Working knowledge of general property repairs, including plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and basic construction.
• Experience with landscaping and grounds maintenance equipment.
• Ability to safely operate hand tools, power tools, and maintenance equipment.
• Ability to follow written and verbal instructions and manage assigned tasks.
• Comfortable using a phone or computer‑based system to receive and update work assignments.
• Dependable, organized, and able to follow through on responsibilities.
• Good communication skills and a respectful, service‑oriented approach when interacting with residents, vendors, and team members.
• Ability to work independently, identify what needs attention, and adjust priorities as property needs arise.
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
• Ability to successfully complete a background check.
