Salary: $20 - $28/hr

Schedule: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., with participation in an on-call rotation

Solve the Problem and Take Care of the Resident

A fast-paced property management team is hiring an experienced Maintenance Technician to complete service requests across residential and campus-area student housing. This role requires broad repair ability, good judgment, and professional communication with residents.

You will work independently throughout the day while remaining connected to a close-knit maintenance team. This is not an entry-level helper position.

What You'll Do

• Diagnose and complete residential property-maintenance work orders
• Perform routine plumbing, electrical, carpentry, drywall, painting, and hardware repairs
• Troubleshoot appliances, doors, locks, fixtures, and other unit concerns
• Complete repairs in occupied apartments and residential properties
• Support apartment turns and prepare units for incoming residents
• Prioritize urgent requests while managing scheduled work orders
• Communicate clearly with residents, students, property staff, and team members
• Document completed work and report repairs requiring additional support
• Travel between assigned properties using your personal vehicle
• Participate in an on-call rotation for after-hours maintenance needs

Required Experience

• Previous professional property maintenance, apartment maintenance, residential maintenance, or closely related multi-trade repair experience
• Working knowledge across several residential repair areas
• Ability to diagnose problems rather than relying on step-by-step instruction
• Experience using hand and power tools
• Ability to work independently and complete repairs efficiently
• Valid driver's license
• Reliable personal vehicle for travel between properties
• Personal maintenance toolbox appropriate for common residential repairs

Candidates do not need to be experts in every trade, but they must bring enough hands-on experience to independently complete common property-maintenance work.

Customer Service Matters

This position regularly enters occupied homes and student apartments. The right person will communicate respectfully, explain repairs clearly, protect residents' belongings, and leave the work area clean.

Technical ability matters, but poor communication or an unprofessional approach with residents will not work in this role.

Physical and Work Environment

• Frequent standing, walking, bending, kneeling, crouching, and reaching
• Regular use of ladders, hand tools, and power tools
• Lifting and carrying tools, materials, appliances, and repair components
• Indoor and outdoor work across multiple properties
• Driving throughout the workday
• Occasional after-hours work while participating in the on-call rotation

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• $20.00-$28.00 per hour based on maintenance experience
• Consistent Monday-Friday daytime schedule
• Work-related gas expenses reimbursed
• Variety across residential and campus-area student housing
• Close-knit team with steady, fast-paced work
• Opportunity to use a broad range of repair skills
• Full-time hours and long-term employment potential
• Opportunity to transition directly onto the company's team after a successful introductory period
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Weekly pay
• Referral bonus
