Full-Time | $23.00–$35.00 per hour

Trimark Property Management is looking for an experienced, dependable, and well-rounded Apartment Maintenance Technician to join our team and help maintain our residential apartment communities throughout the Auburn and Buckley area.

This is a hands-on, year-round position for someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in their work, and is comfortable tackling the day-to-day maintenance needs that come with apartment communities.

No two days are exactly the same. You may be troubleshooting a plumbing issue in the morning, repairing drywall or an appliance in the afternoon, and helping prepare a vacant apartment for a new resident the next day.

We are looking for someone who can identify problems, find practical solutions, complete quality repairs, and jump in wherever needed to keep our properties clean, safe, functional, and well maintained.

What You'll Do Maintenance & Repairs

• Complete resident maintenance requests and work orders from start to finish
• Diagnose and troubleshoot common apartment maintenance issues
• Perform common plumbing repairs involving faucets, toilets, drains, garbage disposals, supply lines, leaks, and fixtures
• Troubleshoot electrical issues and perform electrical work when legally permitted and within your training and qualifications
• Recognize when electrical or other specialized work needs to be referred to a licensed professional
• Troubleshoot, repair, install, and replace household appliances when appropriate
• Repair doors, locks, handles, cabinets, drawers, shelving, blinds, and other hardware
• Complete drywall repairs, patching, texturing, caulking, and painting
• Perform minor carpentry and general building repairs
• Complete preventative maintenance and routine property inspections
• Identify and report water intrusion, safety hazards, property damage, and larger maintenance concerns
• Keep accurate records of completed and outstanding work orders
• Communicate professionally with residents, management, vendors, and other team members

• Installing blinds, locks, fixtures, hardware, and other items
• Removing trash, abandoned belongings, and debris as directed
• Assisting with unit cleaning when needed, including kitchens, bathrooms, floors, cabinets, appliances, and windows
• Completing final walkthroughs and correcting outstanding items
• Ensuring apartments are clean, safe, functional, and move-in ready

Property & Grounds Maintenance

This position also helps us maintain the overall appearance and condition of our communities. Responsibilities may include:

• Maintaining hallways, stairwells, laundry rooms, storage areas, and other common spaces
• Picking up trash and debris throughout the properties
• Keeping dumpster and garbage areas clean and organized
• Performing minor exterior and building repairs
• Pressure washing and general property cleanup
