Description

About Braden Fellman Group

Founded in 1981, Braden Fellman Group acquires and revitalizes overlooked properties and transforms them into vibrant residential communities. Over four decades we have redeveloped more than 3.3 million square feet, delivered 3,600+ units, and revitalized 400+ properties — and we measure our success by the impact we make on the neighborhoods we serve. With deep roots in Atlanta and a growing footprint in Charleston and Columbia, our motto says it best: preserving the past, building the future.

About the Role

We are looking for a hands‑on Maintenance Technician to join the on‑site team at one of our multifamily apartment communities. You will keep our residents’ homes safe, comfortable, and well cared for — completing service requests, preparing vacant units for move‑in, and helping maintain the overall condition and curb appeal of the community. This is a great role for a technician with one to three years of experience who wants to sharpen their skills and grow with a company that promotes from within.

What You’ll Do

• Complete resident service requests promptly and professionally, including repairs to plumbing, electrical fixtures, HVAC, appliances, doors, windows, drywall, and flooring.
• Perform unit turns: punch‑out repairs, painting touch‑ups, caulking, fixture replacement, and final inspection so vacant apartments are move‑in ready on schedule.
• Conduct preventive maintenance on building systems and equipment according to the community’s maintenance schedule.
• Maintain common areas, amenities, and grounds — including light janitorial work, pressure washing, and seasonal tasks as needed.
• Document work performed in the property management system (work orders, parts used, time on task).
• Assist with property inspections and help identify and report deferred maintenance, safety hazards, and code concerns.
• Participate in the on‑call rotation for after‑hours emergency maintenance (schedule shared across the team).
• Communicate courteously with residents, respecting their homes and providing a positive service experience.

Requirements

What You’ll Bring

• 1–3 years of maintenance experience, preferably in multifamily / apartment communities (hotel, facilities, or general construction experience also considered).
• Working knowledge of plumbing, electrical, appliance, and general carpentry repair.
• Basic HVAC troubleshooting skills.
• Comfort using a smartphone or tablet for work orders and communication.
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation; own basic hand tools.
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, climb ladders and stairs, and work indoors and outdoors in varying weather.
• Availability for a rotating on‑call schedule, including occasional evenings and weekends.

Nice to Have

• EPA 608 Type II or Universal certification.
• CPO (Certified Pool Operator) or willingness to become certified.
• Experience with property management software (AppFolio, Yardi, or similar).
• Bilingual English/Spanish.

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly pay, based on experience and certifications.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Paid time off and paid holidays.
• 401(k) retirement plan.

Schedule & Physical Requirements

Full‑time, Monday–Friday with a rotating on‑call schedule for emergencies. The role involves standing, walking, bending, kneeling, climbing ladders, and lifting up to 50 lbs, in both indoor and outdoor conditions.
