This is a scattered-site role for a technician who can work independently, solve problems in the field, communicate clearly, and take pride in doing solid work the right way. Most of the work includes service requests, make-ready support, and general property upkeep across multiple properties.

• Handle general repairs including drywall patching, locks, doors, windows, screens, and basic carpentry
• Assist with painting, caulking, touch-up work, punch-list items, and make-ready work
• Support unit turns and help get vacant apartments rent-ready on time
• Help maintain grounds, curb appeal, and overall property condition
• Identify larger issues early and clearly communicate when parts, vendor support, or follow-up work are needed
• Document work clearly with notes and photos in AppFolio
• Communicate quickly when blocked by access issues, parts delays, vendor delays, or scope changes
• Follow company procedures for keys, occupied-unit entry, safety, and resident interaction

• Ability to handle common plumbing repairs without constant supervision
• Ability to safely perform basic electrical troubleshooting and replacements
• Basic carpentry and drywall repair skills
• Ability to work independently across multiple properties
• Comfortable using a smartphone for work orders, notes, photos, and time tracking
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
• Must own basic hand tools
• Reliable attendance, good judgment, and strong follow-through
• Professional, respectful communication with residents and team members

Preferred Experience

• Apartment maintenance experience
• HVAC troubleshooting experience
• Water heater diagnosis
• Basic appliance repair
• Experience with AppFolio or a similar property management system

Compensation and Benefits

• $23-$26 per hour, based on experience
• Health insurance
• Dental insurance
• Vision insurance
• 401(k) with match
• Paid time off
• Mileage reimbursement
• Company provides materials and larger job-related equipment
• Full-time weekday schedule

What Success Looks Like
The right person in this role:

• Resolves most work orders correctly on the first visit
• Completes assigned work on schedule
• Documents work clearly and closes work orders out properly
• Communicates quickly when something is blocked
• Spots issues early before they become larger problems
