Job description

We are looking for an experienced Handyman / Maintenance Technician to join our team full-time.

The majority of the work will initially consist of maintenance and turns for residential rental properties throughout the Orlando area. We are looking for someone with apartment, multifamily, rental-property, or similar maintenance experience who can diagnose problems and complete repairs independently.

Responsibilities

• Apartment and rental-home turns
• General handyman and maintenance work
• Drywall repair, painting, and touch-ups
• Minor plumbing repairs
• Drain cleaning and clearing stoppages
• Minor electrical repairs and troubleshooting
• Doors, locks, cabinets, trim, and hardware
• Appliance troubleshooting and minor repairs
• Caulking and general preventative maintenance
• Basic HVAC troubleshooting and maintenance
• Cleaning condensate drain lines and drain pans
• Identifying issues that need to be referred to a specialty contractor

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate has hands‑on apartment or residential maintenance experience and is comfortable working across multiple trades. You should be able to receive a work order, diagnose the problem, and determine how to fix it without needing constant supervision. We value someone who is:

• Dependable and organized
• Mechanically inclined and a good troubleshooter
• Comfortable working independently
• Professional around tenants and homeowners
• Clean and detail‑oriented
• Comfortable using a smartphone for work orders, photos, and communication
• Experienced with basic residential HVAC systems and drain cleaning

Required: Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.

Opportunity for Growth

This position has significant room to grow beyond rental‑property maintenance. Rare Builders builds luxury custom homes in the Orlando area, including homes valued at $3M+. As the right person learns our standards and demonstrates their abilities, we intend to gradually expand the position into high‑end home maintenance, punch and warranty work, preventative maintenance, and eventually some project supervision.

We are also developing a concierge home‑maintenance business, and this person could ultimately become a key field technician as that business grows.

We are looking for someone who wants a stable, long‑term position with an opportunity to take on greater responsibility over time.

Pay: $20–$30/hour. Benefits: Paid time off.
