About the role

A Lease-Up Service Technician works on a 204-unit apartment property in San Diego, performing technical and mechanical work so that the buildings, grounds, amenities and common areas meet the company's standards for cleanliness, appearance, safety and functionality.

Key responsibilities

• Complete work orders from resident service requests and preventative maintenance by diagnosing problems and repairing them according to policy, safety standards and code requirements.

• Track inventory, return unused items and notify the maintenance supervisor of re-order needs.
• Complete service documentation accurately and on time.
• Help maintain grounds, common areas and amenities, such as cleaning, pressure washing breezeways and pool areas, and painting curbs and signage.
• Support cost control by fixing rather than replacing parts and using materials and tools efficiently.
• Take part in safety meetings, OSHA and other safety training, and report accidents and incidents.
• Periodically check contractor work and help with routine property inspections.
