Irish Management is seeking a dependable, self-motivated Home Repair & Maintenance Specialist to help maintain and enhance the quality of our short-term rental properties.

Applicants must be available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with occasional weekend availability as needed. Weekly hours typically range from 35 to 45 hours, and candidates must be willing to work beyond 5:00 PM when necessary to complete troubleshooting or critical repairs.
