Maintenance Personnel

Part-Time | Flexible Hours | Akron, OH

Interested in showing us what you can do? We are open to arranging a paid working interview where you can demonstrate your skills while being compensated for your time.

Looking for steady, flexible maintenance work without being tied to a full-time schedule?

Edison Park Community is seeking an experienced, well-rounded handyman to help complete maintenance, apartment turnover, and property improvement projects across our apartment portfolio in Akron.

We're looking for someone who can work independently, troubleshoot common property maintenance issues, and complete repairs correctly without requiring constant supervision.

This may be a great fit for someone who is semi-retired, currently works in maintenance and is looking for additional income, operates a handyman or repair business, or simply prefers flexible, project-based work.

What You'll Be Doing

Work will include a combination of scheduled property improvement projects, apartment turnover work, and general maintenance, such as:

• Drywall repair and patching
• Interior painting and touch-ups
• Faucet, toilet, and plumbing fixture replacement
• Minor plumbing repairs
• Caulking tubs, showers, sinks, and other areas
• Installing or replacing light fixtures, ceiling fans, and hardware
• Door adjustments, locksets, and door sweeps
• Window screens and minor trim repairs
• Minor flooring repairs
• General punch-list items following property inspections
• Preparing apartments for new residents
• Troubleshooting and completing miscellaneous maintenance repairs
• Assisting with urgent maintenance issues when needed

This is not a full-time maintenance position with a constant stream of daily work orders. Much of the work is planned in advance, allowing you to organize projects and work efficiently.

Schedule & Availability

We offer flexibility, but we are looking for someone who can provide consistent weekly availability.

Applicants should be available:

• Two days during the week for scheduled maintenance, repairs, turnovers, and improvement projects
• At least one day each weekend for emergency maintenance coverage
• Approximately 8–20 hours per week, depending on current projects and property needs
• Additional hours may be available during apartment turnovers or larger projects

Weekday hours are flexible. We can work with the right person to establish two regular weekdays that fit both schedules.

Weekend availability does not necessarily mean working a scheduled full day. You would need to be reachable and reasonably available to respond if an emergency maintenance situation occurs during your designated coverage day.

We're Looking For Someone Who...

• Shows up when they say they will
• Can reliably provide the required weekday and weekend availability
• Has solid experience in multiple maintenance or construction trades
• Can troubleshoot common property maintenance problems
• Works efficiently without constant supervision
• Takes pride in quality workmanship
• Communicates clearly about project status, materials needed, and problems encountered
• Keeps projects moving and follows through to completion
• Has reliable transportation
• Has their own basic tools
• Can safely perform the physical requirements of property maintenance work

Especially Valuable Experience

Experience in any of the following is a plus:

• Apartment or rental-property maintenance
• Carpentry
• Drywall repair
• Plumbing repairs
• Electrical fixture replacement
• Painting
• Apartment turnovers
• General handyman services
• Historic property maintenance and repair

Compensation

• Competitive hourly pay based on experience
• Paid bi-weekly
• Consistent part-time work
• Flexible weekday scheduling
• Opportunity for additional hours during apartment turnovers and larger projects

About Edison Park Community

Edison Park Community is a locally owned apartment portfolio in Akron's historic Highland Square neighborhood. We focus on restoring and maintaining unique historic properties while providing quality homes for our residents.

Our properties are located within the same general neighborhood, which minimizes travel between jobs and allows you to spend more of your time completing projects rather than traveling between jobs.

Interested?

If you're dependable, experienced, work well independently, and enjoy seeing projects through from start to finish, we'd like to hear from you.

When applying, please answer the following:

• What is your general weekday availability?
• Which weekend day(s) can you typically provide emergency maintenance coverage?
• If you receive an emergency maintenance call during your designated weekend coverage day, how quickly could you typically arrive at a property in Highland Square?
• How many years of handyman, construction, or property maintenance experience do you have?
• What types of repairs are you comfortable diagnosing and completing independently?
• Are there any types of repairs or trades you do not perform?
• Do you have reliable transportation?
• Do you have your own basic tools?

We'd also be happy to discuss a paid working interview so you can show us your skills and see whether Edison Park Community is a good fit for you.
