Maintenance Technician - Prose Lakeside

About the role

A Maintenance Technician is needed for the Prose Lakeside property in Lakeland, Florida, a 391-unit garden community in lease-up stage. 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 plus a rotating on-call duty.

Key responsibilities

• Complete work orders from resident service requests and preventative maintenance, 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 materials, and final inspection of completed work.
• Track inventory, return unused items and notify the maintenance supervisor of re-order needs.
• Document service requests accurately and on time.
• Help maintain grounds, common areas and amenities: pick up trash, pressure-wash breezeways and pool areas, clean and paint curbs and signage as needed.
• Support cost control by fixing rather than replacing parts and using materials and tools efficiently.
• Attend safety meetings, complete OSHA and other safety training, and report accidents and incidents promptly.
• Periodically check contractor and vendor work against quality standards, and help with routine 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 irregular hours including call-outs on evenings, weekends and holidays.

• Hourly pay of $20.00 - $22.00, with possible weekly, monthly and quarterly bonuses for onsite property positions.
• Medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance, plus a 401(k) with company match up to 6% after 6 months.
• Paid time off: 15 vacation days, 4 personal days, 10 sick days and 11 paid holidays, plus birthday off after 1 year.
• Housing discount at Greystar-managed communities, a 6-week paid sabbatical after 10 years, paid parental leave and fertility benefit reimbursement up to $10,000.
