Key responsibilities

• Complete work orders from residents 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.
• Document service requests accurately and on time.
• Help maintain grounds and common areas: 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 tools and materials efficiently.
• Take part in safety meetings, OSHA and other safety training, and report accidents promptly.
• Occasionally check contractor work and help with routine property inspections.
