What are the responsibilities and job description for the Vacation Rental Maintenance Technician — Part Time position at Omni Home Services?
Yellow Door Vacation Rentals | Chattanooga, TN
$20–$25/hour | 20–30 hours per week
Yellow Door Vacation Rentals is looking for an experienced, dependable Maintenance Technician/Handyman to help care for our vacation rental properties throughout the Chattanooga area.
This is a hands-on position for someone who is comfortable working independently, troubleshooting problems, completing common household repairs, and helping us catch maintenance issues before they affect a guest stay.
Handyman and maintenance experience is required. We are looking for someone who can walk into a property, assess a problem, determine the appropriate next step, and complete the repair when it falls within their skill set.
Responsibilities
Complete general handyman and property maintenance repairs
Troubleshoot common plumbing, electrical, appliance, HVAC, lock, and household issues
Complete minor repairs, replacements, installations, adjustments, and touch-ups
Perform routine preventive maintenance and property inspections
Identify developing issues before they become larger repairs or guest problems
Respond to maintenance issues that arise during guest stays
Coordinate with the Yellow Door team regarding property access, scheduling, and repair priorities
Recognize when a repair requires a licensed or specialized contractor rather than attempting work outside your qualifications
Take clear before-and-after photos and document completed work
Track labor time and materials used for each property
Provide receipts when materials or supplies are purchased
Create basic invoices and use simple technology/apps for scheduling, communication, and documentation
Follow maintenance issues through to completion rather than simply identifying the problem
What We're Looking For
The right person is practical, resourceful, dependable, and comfortable working in occupied and unoccupied vacation rental properties. Because guest stays are involved, communication and follow-through are just as important as repair skills.
Candidates should have:
Previous professional maintenance and/or handyman experience
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
Experience with common residential repairs and installations
Ability to work independently and make sound decisions in the field
Basic technology skills and willingness to use mobile apps for work orders, photos, communication, and documentation
Ability to create and submit basic invoices
Good communication and organization
Attention to detail and respect for guest-ready properties
Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license
Ability to safely perform the physical requirements associated with residential maintenance work
Schedule & Compensation
This is a part-time position averaging approximately 20–30 hours per week, with hours varying based on maintenance needs.
Pay: $20–$25 per hour, based on experience and skill level.
The position will include scheduled maintenance and preventive work as well as occasional time-sensitive issues at guest properties. Some evening and weekend availability will be required for scheduled on-call coverage.
