Responsibilities

Tackle repairs and maintenance: Diagnose issues, make necessary repairs, and ensure all work meets safety standards, company policies, and code requirements.
Get homes move-in ready: Complete the “make-ready” process for vacant units — from gathering supplies to performing maintenance and inspections — so every new resident feels at home.
Keep our community looking great: Help maintain the grounds, common areas, and amenities by cleaning, pressure washing, painting, and removing debris.
Be resourceful: Support cost-saving efforts by repairing instead of replacing parts when possible, and using materials and tools efficiently.
Stay organized: Follow procedures for checking out and returning tools and supplies, and keep your supervisor informed about re-ordering needs.
Ensure quality and compliance: Assist with property inspections and turnover work to meet Housing Authority and Housing Commission standards. Document work (including move-in assessments) in AppFolio with photos.
Prioritize safety: Report safety hazards, injuries, or equipment malfunctions right away, and practice safe work habits at all times.
Follow the rules: Ensure compliance with company policies and regulations, including Fair Housing and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Respond to emergencies: Be ready to assist immediately with urgent issues like fires, floods, or other emergencies.
Be reliable: This is an essential position — your presence helps us keep our residents and property safe and cared for.
