The How…
You will use your five-plus years of experience in property maintenance (either in a residential or hospitality setting, including at least one year of supervising others) to address work orders and other repair and maintenance issues before they escalate into major problems.
You will utilize your one or more technical certifications to address critical areas, such as HVAC-certified repairs and maintenance, CPO to handle the property’s pools and spas, or other specialized training for electrical or plumbing issues when they arise.
You want to positively impact people’s lives by proactively addressing routine maintenance and the general cleanliness of the property, including resident amenities such as the pool and clubhouse. You are hands-on with the day-to-day maintenance activities, setting the tone and standard for how work gets done. You lead by example, stepping in to assist where needed, including completing your work orders as assigned and helping other technicians with work orders. You manage the Make-Ready board so turnover work stays on schedule and ensure the property grounds are kept up.
You aren’t afraid to engage in difficult conversations with employees and residents, hearing their concerns and issues and seeking to understand and resolve them. Your attention to detail and project management skills are an asset to the property management team, allowing you to quickly and effectively find cost-effective, high-quality, timely resolutions to repair and maintenance issues affecting the property.
Your friendly and efficient approach is perfect when engaging with residents in their units and about the property. You are committed to creating a safe working environment for the team and a safe living environment for our residents with a safety-first approach to everything you do, which includes utilizing your EPA certification to handle certain substances and chemicals properly and training the maintenance team in proper safety procedures and protocols.
The Details…
You will work full-time Monday through Friday at our location. Since maintenance emergencies can happen at any time, this role does require occasional on-call hours as set by the Property Management team.
While we provide equipment and supplies to complete most work orders, you must maintain your own tool kit to complete work orders. Occasionally, you may need to use either a company-owned vehicle (or your own) to move about the property or to pick up supplies off-site. Therefore, you must have a valid driver’s license to be effective in this position.
