Job description

Job Details: Job Location: Independence Green - FARMINGTON HILLS, MI 48335, Position Type: Full Time, Education Level: High School, Salary Range: $60,000.00 - $65,000.00 Salary, Travel Percentage: Negligible, Job Shift: Day, Job Category: Facilities, As a Lead Make Ready Technician, you oversee ongoing facility maintenance and repairs as it relates to the turnover at the property, to keep the company’s multifamily property operating and appearing at its best.

The How…

You will use your five-plus years of experience in property maintenance (either in a residential or hospitality setting, including at least one year of supervising others) to address work orders and other repair and maintenance issues before they escalated into major problems.

You will utilize your one or more technical certifications to address critical areas, such as HVAC-certified repairs and maintenance, CPO to handle the property’s pools and spas, or other specialized training for electrical or plumbing issues when they arise.

You want to positively impact people’s lives by proactively addressing routine maintenance and the general cleanliness of the property, including resident amenities such as the pool and clubhouse. You are hands‑on with the day‑to‑day maintenance activities, setting the tone and standard for how work gets done.

You lead by example, you manage the Make‑Ready board so turnover work stays on schedule and ensure the property grounds are kept up and you step in to assist where needed, including completing your work orders as assigned and helping other technicians with work orders.

You aren’t afraid to engage in difficult conversations with employees and residents, hearing their concerns and issues and seeking to understand and resolve them. Your attention to detail and project management skills are an asset to the property management team, allowing you to quickly and effectively find cost‑effective, high‑quality, timely resolutions to repair and maintenance issues affecting the property.

Your friendly and efficient approach is perfect when engaging with residents in their units and about the property. You are committed to creating a safe working environment for the team and a safe living environment for our residents with a safety‑first approach to everything you do, which includes utilizing your certifications to handle certain substances and chemicals properly and training the maintenance team in proper safety procedures and protocols.

The Details…

You will work full‑time Monday through Friday at our location. Since maintenance emergencies can happen at any time, this role does require occasional on‑call hours as set by the Property Management team.

While we provide equipment and supplies to complete most work orders, you must maintain your own tool kit to complete work orders. Occasionally, you may need to use either a company‑owned vehicle (or your own) to move about the property or to pick up supplies off‑site. Therefore, you must have a valid driver’s license to be effective in this position.

We offer many benefits to meet your needs,

• medical
• dental
• vision
• basic life insurance options
• auto-enrollment in its 401(k) plan after 60 days of employment
• New employees accrue 40 vacation hours in the first year and earn paid sick leave per state requirements*

*The Company provides at least 40 hours of Paid Sick Leave per year in states with no state mandate. **To be eligible for holiday pay, employees must have completed 90 days of employment and worked the last scheduled day before and the first day after the holiday.

Qualifications: Required Education & Experience

• 3+ years of relevant maintenance experience in property management or hospitality environments
