Maintenance Technician (Apartment Community) with HVAC Certification

Fortiva Residential•Tampa, FL

About The Position

You know your way around a refrigerant manifold, a leaking P-trap, and a work order queue that never quite empties. You take pride in fixing things right the first time, and residents notice. If that sounds like you, we want to talk. Fortiva Residential is looking for a skilled, dependable Maintenance Technician to join our team at one of our apartment communities. This is a full-time, hands-on role for someone who actually enjoys the work — diagnosing problems, turning units around fast, and being the person residents can count on when something goes wrong. What the job looks like day-to-day: You'll handle service requests, make-readies for incoming residents, HVAC diagnostics and repairs, lock changes, appliance moves, and the occasional after-hours emergency call. No two days are exactly the same, and that's kind of the point.

Requirements

HVAC Certification (required) — EPA Universal preferred
At least 1 year of experience in apartment or residential maintenance
Solid all-around skills: HVAC, plumbing, electrical basics, appliances, general repairs
A valid driver's license and reliable transportation
Someone who responds to emergencies without having to be chased down
Pride in your work and respect for the people who live in the community you maintain
Physically, this role involves being on your feet most of the day, climbing ladders, working in tight spaces, and occasionally moving heavy equipment (up to 150 lbs with assistance).
