- Responding to residents’ requests for maintenance and repair, ensuring requests are fulfilled promptly and competently

- Making vacant units ready for new residents, maintaining appropriate checklists and assuring units are ready on time
- Ordering parts and supplies as necessary
- Being available for periodic 24-hour on-call rotations to provide service in case of emergencies

It provides them a great deal of variety, presenting new tasks and challenges every day—and, as a result, the opportunity to gain lots of handy new skills.
