Who We Are Looking For:

We are hiring a full-time Handyman/Maintenance Technician to keep our buildings safe, functional, and in excellent condition.

Plumbing

Diagnose and repair common plumbing issues: clogged drains, running toilets, leaking faucets, and minor supply line fixes.

• Replace toilets, faucets, valves, disposals, and related fixtures when appropriate.
• Coordinate with licensed plumbers for major leaks, sewer line issues, or work requiring permitting.

Group Homes

• Residential maintenance: appliances, doors/locks, faucets/toilets, drywall/paint, safety features.
• Focus on resident safety, speed, and respectful work in occupied homes.

Vendor Coordination & Project Support

• Assess when to repair vs. escalate to a vendor.
• Gather quotes, coordinate scheduling, and support vendor access.
• Assist with small refresh projects (paint, hardware swaps, minor upgrades, punch lists).

Inventory, Tools, and Vehicle Care

• Maintain the company truck, tools, and supplies in clean, ready-to-work condition.
• Track consumables and request restocks (patch, paint, fasteners, valves, bulbs, filters, etc.).
