• Develop and implement preventative maintenance plans.
• Collaborate with property managers to prioritize repairs and capital improvements.
• Communicate directly with residents in a respectful, timely, and solution-oriented manner.
• Occasionally assist nearby properties as part of a collaborative team.

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of hands-on maintenance experience, ideally in multifamily or older buildings.
• Strong skills in general maintenance (plumbing, electrical, flooring, etc.).
• Experience leading or mentoring maintenance teams or vendors.
• Excellent organizational and time management skills.
• Comfort with basic tech tools (e.g., digital work order systems, Excel).
• A problem-solving mindset and a commitment to quality and safety.
• Spanish language skills are a plus.

Why Join Us?
