Job description

Skilled hands keep occupancy numbers healthy. A well-executed turn gets a unit back on the market in days instead of weeks. A resolved HVAC ticket at 10 PM keeps a resident from churning at renewal. This Maintenance Technician role at Bozzuto's Boston property puts those skills at the center of the work every single day.

The Skills This Role Runs On

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and appliance repair form the core of what you'll handle. Bozzuto is looking for someone with beginner-to-intermediate proficiency across those trades, so you don't need a master electrician's ticket, but you do need enough hands-on experience to diagnose problems and resolve them without constant escalation. Make-readies are a real part of the workload too. Turning a vacant unit quickly and correctly, executing a solid punch list before move-in, directly affects how fast the property can convert a vacant day into revenue.

Beyond the technical side, communication skills matter more than most maintenance postings acknowledge.

You're interacting with residents directly, and a technician who explains what was fixed and why earns trust that shows up in survey scores and lease renewals. Basic comfort with software and apps for work order tracking is expected. Written communication counts too, since ticket documentation creates the service record that property managers rely on.

What the Day Actually Looks Like

A typical day pulls you across service ticket resolution, preventative maintenance rounds, and general upkeep of the building and grounds. You'll be in apartments, mechanical rooms, and common areas. Boston winters add snow removal and exterior maintenance to the rotation. On-call emergency response is part of the deal, so reliable personal transportation is a firm requirement, not a suggestion. Weekends and evenings come with the territory depending on scheduling needs.

What Bozzuto Brings to This Role

Bozzuto operates at a level where systems, training, and culture are measurably invested in. One concrete example: after your 12-month anniversary, the company covers the cost of your EPA 608 Universal Refrigerant Certification. That credential expands your HVAC scope significantly and has real market value if you're building a long-term trades career. The compensation range sits at $54,000 to $56,000 annually, with bonus eligibility on top of that. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, 20 days of paid time off plus holidays, a 401k with company match, and tuition reimbursement.

For technicians who want to grow, Bozzuto's scale across property operations creates visible pathways toward lead tech and facilities management roles. The portfolio depth means you're not stuck in one building with no upward track.

• Experience in building maintenance or a trades education background
• Beginner to intermediate HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and appliance repair skills
• Ability to handle frequent physical demands in the 25 to 50 pound range
• Availability for on-call emergency response and rotating weekend shifts
• Reliable personal transportation
• Strong written and verbal communication
• Comfort using work order software and property management apps
