Job summary

Horning is seeking an experienced Maintenance Technician III for Brookland I in Washington, DC. You will own advanced HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work, lead tough unit turns, and mentor on-site technicians.

Join a 324-unit apartment community and help run the preventive maintenance program while ensuring safety and compliance. The role requires strong multi-trade depth, reliability, and a path toward Lead Tech or Maintenance Supervisor.

Qualifications

HS diploma or GED plus 3+ years in multifamily, residential, or commercial maintenance.
Demonstrated working knowledge of appliance repair, plumbing, electrical, HVAC fundamentals, and carpentry.
Experience taking vacant units from move-out to market-ready.
Comfort guiding a less experienced technician through the work and holding a quality standard without being the supervisor.
Strong customer-service orientation and the ability to communicate clearly with residents in person and in writing.

Responsibilities

Diagnose, troubleshoot, and complete intermediate-level repairs across multiple trades, including appliances, plumbing, basic electrical, HVAC, carpentry, hardware, basic masonry, and painting.
Carry your own service request queue: complete assigned work orders to Horning quality and timeliness standards, and document parts, labor, root cause, and any follow-up in AppWork.
Recognize when a repair needs to be escalated to the Maintenance Technician III or a specialty vendor, and escalate with a real diagnosis.
Take on assigned vacant unit turns and bring them to market-ready condition on schedule, including appliance repair and replacement, plumbing fixture work, electrical repair, drywall patching, painting, and final walkthrough.
Execute preventive maintenance work orders, building and safety inspections, and annual unit inspections against the property PM calendar, and document findings accurately.
Support seasonal work including HVAC changeovers, weatherization, and pre-winter readiness across 324 homes.
Provide day-to-day on-the-job training and informal guidance to the Maintenance Technician I, conduct quality checks, and give constructive feedback in the moment.
Follow asbestos-aware work practices appropriate to a building of this age, and stop work and escalate immediately whenever suspect material is disturbed.
