Property Maintenance Technician

Job Description

Job Description

We are looking for a dependable, skilled, and proactive Property Maintenance Technician to join our vacation rental management team in Downtown Charleston.

This is a hands-on position for someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in their work, and is comfortable independently completing repairs. You’ll help maintain a portfolio of vacation rental properties and play an important role in keeping our homes safe, functional, well-maintained, and guest-ready.
No two days are exactly the same. One day may include completing drywall repairs and painting, while another may involve troubleshooting a plumbing issue, maintaining exterior spaces, assembling furniture, or completing preventative maintenance throughout our properties.

Schedule: Full-Time
Pay: $45,000 - $55,000, based on experience and skill set
Location: Downtown Charleston, SC

What You’ll Do

• Complete general repairs and routine property maintenance
• Perform drywall repair, patching, preparation, and painting
• Handle landscaping, groundskeeping, and exterior property upkeep
• Complete minor carpentry and repairs to doors, cabinets, trim, locks, and hardware
• Troubleshoot minor plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and appliance issues
• Perform routine property inspections and proactively identify maintenance concerns
• Complete monthly HVAC filter changes and routine preventative pest-control treatments
• Assemble and repair furniture, fixtures, and property furnishings
• Perform pressure washing and other exterior maintenance as needed
• Respond to maintenance work orders and time-sensitive property needs
• Coordinate with management when specialized or licensed contractors are needed
• Maintain and organize commonly used maintenance tools, parts, and supplies
• Document completed work and communicate property conditions or recommended repairs
• Assist with property improvements and special maintenance projects as needed

What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is hands-on, resourceful, and confident solving problems independently.
Drywall and painting experience is strongly preferred. Additional knowledge or experience with plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, appliance troubleshooting, landscaping, or general residential maintenance is a plus.
You do not need to be a licensed tradesperson in every area. What’s most important is having strong general maintenance knowledge, knowing how to troubleshoot a problem, being able to complete appropriate repairs safely, and recognizing when a specialized professional is needed.

Requirements

• Previous general maintenance, property maintenance, construction, handyman, or similar hands-on experience preferred
• Reliable transportation is required for traveling between multiple properties throughout Downtown Charleston
• Ability to transport basic tools and materials between properties as needed
• Comfortable working independently and managing a daily schedule of maintenance tasks
• Strong attention to detail and ability to identify potential problems before they become larger repairs
• Dependable, punctual, and professional
• Comfortable using a mobile phone to receive, update, and document work orders
• Ability to safely perform the physical responsibilities associated with residential property maintenance

Schedule & Occasional Urgent Needs
The regular schedule for this position is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday (Off on Wednesdays & Saturdays)
Because we manage active vacation rental properties, occasional urgent or time-sensitive maintenance situations may arise outside of normal working hours. Flexibility to assist in these situations when needed is appreciated; however, this position is not intended to be a regularly scheduled on-call role.

Why This Role?
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working independently, solving problems, and having variety in their workday. Rather than working at one property or performing the same task every day, you’ll work across a portfolio of Downtown Charleston properties with a wide range of maintenance needs and projects.
We value someone who doesn’t just complete a work order, but takes pride in the overall condition of the property, notices what needs attention, and helps us prevent small maintenance concerns from becoming larger problems.

If you are dependable, take pride in quality work, and enjoy being the person who can figure out how to fix something, we’d love to hear from you.
