Join us in shaping the future of real estate—where your work builds more than properties; it builds community.

We’re looking for a trustworthy technician to maintain the physical condition of one of our properties. As part of the Maintenance team, you’ll help with the requests that come in each day pertaining to the more technical side of the building– like appliance maintenance, smoke detector installations, and light fixture removals. We love to keep our buildings looking beautiful, so you’ll also be responsible for routine cosmetic updates – such as painting, changing screens, and replacing windows.

What You’ll Do

• Execute daily maintenance requests professionally and expediently.
• Remain at the ready for emergency maintenance needs, emergency flood situations, and back-to-back move-ins.
• Make repairs in the building to things like doors, locks, tiles, and handrails.
• Monitor and work closely with outside contractors and suppliers.
• Maintain paperwork and invoices related to your work.

What We’re Looking For

• 6 months+ of trade experience or building maintenance
• You have a working knowledge of the equipment needed to make repairs on the property, including electrical and mechanical systems.
• Essentially, you love fixing things, making spaces more pleasing for the people who inhabit them, and you’re always ready to lend a helping hand even in high-stress situations.
• You’re great at identifying safety concerns and solving them.
• As a plus, you have specialized trade experience in plumbing, electrical, roofing, or HVAC.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation and a $2,500 sign-on bonus
• Health & Wellness: Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance
• Paid Leave: We provide paid time off plus holidays
• Retirement: We offer a 401k program with a company match
• From collaborative team building offsites to spontaneous office fun, we’ve created an environment where everyone feels valued, supported, and excited to come to work.
