- Recommend when systems or components should be repaired, replaced, or referred to an outside contractor.
- Coordinate with supervisors and approved vendors when specialized or licensed services are required.
- Maintain accurate service records, repair notes, inspection results, and documentation of materials used.
- Inspect grounds, vacant units, occupied units, and common areas to identify maintenance and safety concerns.
- Assist with electrical, carpentry, drywall, painting, appliance, and general maintenance repairs as needed.
- Support unit turns by completing HVAC and plumbing inspections, repairs, replacements, and other assigned maintenance work.
- Ensure work meets applicable safety requirements, Housing Quality Standards, manufacturer specifications, and organizational procedures.
- Maintain tools, equipment, parts, and supplies needed to perform HVAC and plumbing work.
- Communicate professionally with residents, coworkers, supervisors, and vendors.
- Participate in the after-hours emergency on-call rotation.
- Assist with emergency response, property protection, and cleanup during inclement weather or other emergency conditions.
