• Follow established maintenance procedures and safety protocols, including any required site-specific access and badging processes.
• Support leadership and property management by communicating maintenance needs, reporting recurring issues, and contributing to a well-organized and efficient maintenance program.

• Practical skills in HVAC, plumbing, and carpentry sufficient to troubleshoot, repair, and maintain systems in residential properties.
• Experience working with work orders, including receiving, prioritizing, completing, and documenting maintenance requests.

• Capability to work both indoors and outdoors, handling maintenance tasks in various conditions across building interiors and exterior grounds.
• Strong sense of professionalism and customer service, with the ability to interact respectfully with residents and team members.
• Comfort using basic technology and property management systems (PMS) or work order systems to track and update maintenance activities.

• Experience working with boiler and chiller systems, especially in larger or more complex facilities.
• Familiarity with technology management and the use of property management systems for tracking maintenance tasks.
• Exposure to leadership or supervisory responsibilities within maintenance or facilities teams.
• Comfort working in older properties that may have legacy systems, such as older plumbing, alongside newer, modern facilities.
• Willingness to obtain and maintain any required site-specific access credentials or badges for specialized properties.
• Awareness of the importance of tool care and insurance for personal tools used on the job.

Why Work Here?

You will join a growing organization that invests in new, beautiful facilities and continues to expand its portfolio and business ventures.
