The ideal candidate will be responsible for the overall maintenance and upkeep of our properties, providing a safe and comfortable living environment for our residents.

Responsibilities

• Conduct routine maintenance and repairs across plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems
• Diagnose and repair appliances, doors, locks, fixtures, and general carpentry items
• Complete unit turns and make-ready work: drywall patching, paint, punch-list items, and final walk-through
• Perform inspections of rental units to identify maintenance issues before they become emergencies
• Respond promptly to maintenance requests from residents and the property management team
• Document all work orders, parts, and time in our property management system (Appfolio) the same day the work is performed
• Keep accurate records of maintenance performed and supplies used
• Assist with property renovations and upgrades as needed
• Coordinate with outside vendors and contractors when work falls outside scope
• Organize and manage multiple job locations simultaneously, prioritizing by urgency
• Participate in the after-hours emergency on-call rotation
• Communicate effectively with team members, residents, owners, and other stakeholders
• Maintain a clean, professional demeanor at all times, representing the company's values and standards
• Follow all safety procedures and maintain a safe work site

Requirements

• Previous experience as a residential or apartment maintenance technician, or a similar role
• Working knowledge of general maintenance techniques, tools, and equipment
• EPA Section 608 certification (required for refrigerant work — or willingness to obtain within 90 days)
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Strong organizational and time management skills
• Detail-oriented and results-driven mindset
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Basic comfort with email, Office platforms, and smartphone-based work order apps
• High school diploma or equivalent
• Valid driver's license and insurable driving record
• Reliable truck and the personal hand tools necessary for the job

Preferred

• Certification or trade schooling in HVAC, electrical, or plumbing
• Experience with multi-family or scattered-site portfolios
• Bilingual (English/Spanish)

Physical Requirements

• Ability to lift and carry up to 50 lbs
• Ability to climb ladders and stairs, and work in attics, crawlspaces, and mechanical rooms
• Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions
• Ability to stand, kneel, bend, and reach for extended periods

Benefits

• Paid time off
• Mileage reimbursement
