• General Repairs: Troubleshoot and repair minor issues with furniture, fixtures, TVs, door locks, and light switches.
• Property Upkeep: Perform basic painting, carpentry, and routine maintenance in guest rooms and public spaces.
• Exterior Care: Assist in keeping exterior areas clean, including sidewalks and parking lots.
• Safety & Service: Greet guests courteously when working in guest-facing areas and maintain a clean, organized tool shop.

Physical Requirements:

• Must be able to stand, walk, and climb stairs/ladders for extended periods.
• Must have the dexterity to use small repair tools and handle simple objects.
• Must be able to bend, kneel, reach, and twist to complete repairs.
• Must be able to lift and carry up to 50 pounds without assistance.

Qualifications:

• Proven hands-on experience as a handyman or property maintenance worker.
• Strong, reliable working habits and the ability to work independently.
• Practical knowledge of basic plumbing, electrical, and carpentry repairs.
• Ability to follow verbal instructions and solve problems quickly.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Starting Pay Range: $16.00 to $19.00 per hour.
• Skill-Based Salary: Your starting and permanent hourly rate within this range will be determined based on your specific skillset and performance.
• Pay Review: We will evaluate your working habits after a 2-week trial period to finalize your permanent hourly rate.
