Maintenance Technician

About the role

A full-time Maintenance Technician is needed at The Meadows at Burnside Farms, a 308-unit garden-style property in Columbia, South Carolina, scheduled for lease-up. The role covers technical and mechanical work that keeps the buildings, grounds, amenities and common areas clean, safe and functional, with a Monday to Friday schedule (8am-5pm) plus a rotating on-call duty.

Key responsibilities

• Complete work orders from residents and preventative maintenance by diagnosing problems and repairing them according to policy, safety standards and code requirements.
• Run the make-ready process for vacant apartments: pre-move-out inspection, punch list, vendor and contractor scheduling, supplies and final inspection.
• Track inventory, return unused items and notify the maintenance supervisor of re-order needs.
• Document service requests accurately and on time.
• Help maintain grounds and amenities: pick up trash, pressure-wash breezeways and pool areas, general cleaning and painting curbs and signage.
• Support cost control by fixing rather than replacing parts and using materials efficiently.
• Take part in safety meetings, OSHA and other safety training, and report accidents promptly.
• Periodically check contractor work and help with property inspections.

Required profile

• EPA certification Type I and II or Universal for refrigerant recycling (for certified service technicians).
• All certifications required by state and local jurisdictions.
• Valid driver's license to operate a golf cart on property where applicable.
• Ability to work indoors and outdoors in all weather, lift up to 25 pounds alone and 50 pounds with help, and work flexible hours including call-outs on evenings, weekends and holidays.

What we offer

• Hourly pay of $22.00-$24.00, with possible weekly, monthly or quarterly bonuses for onsite property positions.
• Medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance, plus an employee assistance program.
• Paid time off: 15 vacation days, 4 personal days, 10 sick days and 11 paid holidays, plus birthday off after 1 year.
• 401(k) with company match up to 6% after 6 months, paid parental leave and fertility benefit reimbursement up to $10,000.
