Job description

Maintenance Assistant (Plumbing Background) — $20–$22/hr

Got a wrench in one hand and a can-do attitude in the other? Let's talk.

We're on the hunt for a Maintenance Assistant who knows their way around pipes, fittings, and the occasional mysterious leak that \"definitely wasn't there yesterday.\" If you've got plumbing experience and enjoy the satisfaction of fixing things that actually stay fixed, this one's for you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Diagnosing and repairing plumbing issues (leaks, clogs, fixtures, water heaters — you name it)

• Handling general maintenance tasks around the property: think light electrical, carpentry, painting, and \"hey, can you take a look at this?\" requests

• Responding to maintenance tickets and keeping things running smoothly for tenants/residents/staff

• Doing preventative maintenance so small problems don't turn into 2 a.m. emergencies

• Keeping tools, parts, and your work area organized (chaos is for amateurs)

What You Bring

• Hands-on experience with plumbing repairs and installations

• A general handyman skill set — you're comfortable tackling more than just pipes

• Reliability, a solid work ethic, and the ability to problem-solve on the fly

• Good communication skills (translating \"it's making a weird noise\" into an actual diagnosis is a skill)

• A valid driver's license and reliable transportation

Why You'll Like It Here

• Pay: $20–$22/hour, based on experience

• Steady, hands-on work — no two days are identical

• A team that actually appreciates when things get fixed right the first time

• Room to grow your skills across the maintenance trades, not just plumbing
