Job description

Use strong mechanical judgment, take ownership of service issues, and deliver repairs that are done right the first time.

If you are the kind of technician who wants to understand why something failed before deciding how to fix it, this role is built for you. You work independently, trust your mechanical judgment, and take pride in completing repairs correctly rather than applying temporary fixes. You know how to assess a plumbing or heating issue, identify what is needed, make a practical decision, and follow the work through testing and resolution. We are looking for someone who is methodical, accountable, and detail-oriented - someone who communicates clearly when additional parts, licensing, or specialized support are needed and never leaves a problem without a next step.

THE ROLE

As our Heating & Plumbing Maintenance Technician, you will diagnose and resolve plumbing and residential heating issues across assigned properties. You will manage service needs from initial assessment through repair, testing, documentation, and closeout while working with a high degree of independence. You will identify required parts and materials early, verify that completed repairs operate properly, and determine when an issue can be handled within your scope versus when licensed or specialized support is required. Success in this role means using sound mechanical judgment, maintaining high repair standards, documenting the work accurately, and keeping every service request moving toward a clear resolution.

ROLE HIGHLIGHTS

• Hands-on plumbing repair experience required, including diagnosing and repairing common leaks and related service issues
• Experience troubleshooting residential heating systems and identifying likely causes of heating problems
• Strong mechanical judgment and practical problem-solving ability
• Ability to work independently and make sound field decisions
• Ability to recognize when a repair requires a licensed trade professional or specialized technical support
• Working knowledge of common plumbing and heating tools, materials, components, and repair methods
• Strong focus on repair quality, testing, safety, and attention to detail
• Ability to identify required parts, materials, and support before work is delayed
• Reliable work-order documentation, organization, and follow-through
• Clear communication regarding obstacles, pending items, and next steps
• Gas or oil license preferred, but not required
