Maintenance Technician — Sun Realty

Outer Banks, NC | Full-Time, Year-Round | $45,760–$52,000/year (based on experience)

Sun Realty has managed vacation homes on the Outer Banks for over 46 years. We're hiring a Maintenance Technician to keep our homeowners' properties in top shape and our guests' stays problem-free.

What you'll do

• Troubleshoot and repair issues across assigned properties — plumbing, basic carpentry, drywall, and general repairs
• Respond to maintenance requests and keep homes guest-ready
• Work independently, using a company smartphone to manage your daily assignments

What we're looking for

• 2+ years of general maintenance experience
• Basic carpentry skills (advanced carpentry or drywall/finishing experience a plus)
• Basic knowledge of residential plumbing
• A valid driver's license, held for 3+ years, with a clean driving record

Schedule

This role includes weekend and holiday shifts, with occasional seasonal overtime, rotating after-hours shifts (additional pay) — vacation properties don't take weekends off, and neither do we. In exchange, you'll get:

• Competitive compensation
• Benefits Package including 401(k), medical, dental, life, and disability insurance
• Generous paid leave and holidays
• Steady, year-round work (not seasonal)

The physical side of the job

You'll be on your feet, climbing ladders and stairs, working in attics and crawl spaces, and lifting up to 50–85+ lbs. You'll also be driving between properties in all kinds of weather. If you're comfortable with hands-on physical work outdoors and don't mind a fast pace, you'll fit right in.
