Description

Maintenance Technician – Ivy & Elm A resident is moving in this afternoon. Another submitted a work order before heading to class. A parent is arriving for a weekend visit. The grounds need attention, a make-ready is almost complete, and a maintenance request just came through. In student housing, things move quickly. The best maintenance technicians know that every repair, every apartment, and every interaction helps shape the experience our residents have while they're here. We're hiring a Maintenance Technician at Ivy & Elm — someone who takes pride in quality workmanship, enjoys solving problems, and understands that great maintenance is about more than fixing what's broken. It's about helping create a community students are proud to call home. What This Role Really Is This isn't just a maintenance position. It's about protecting the resident experience, supporting your team, and taking ownership of the community every day. This role sits at the intersection of: * Skilled Maintenance * Customer Service * Problem Solving * Teamwork * Community Pride You'll spend your day troubleshooting repairs, preparing apartments, maintaining the property, and helping ensure residents can focus on school—not maintenance issues. Who This Role Is For This role is for someone who: * Enjoys working with their hands and solving problems * Takes pride in doing quality work the first time * Understands the value of great customer service * Communicates professionally with residents and teammates * Can prioritize multiple work orders throughout the day * Takes ownership instead of waiting to be told what to do * Wants to continue building a career in property maintenance Who This Role Is NOT For This role is probably not a fit if: * You cut corners to finish faster * You dislike interacting with residents * You struggle managing changing priorities * You prefer sitting behind a desk rather than staying active * You don't take pride in your workmanship We're looking for someone who understands that every completed work order builds trust with a resident. What You'll Be Responsible For * Completing service requests in a timely and professional manner * Troubleshooting and repairing HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliances, drywall, and general maintenance issues * Preparing apartments for new residents through high-quality make-ready work * Performing preventative maintenance and routine inspections * Assisting with maintaining the overall appearance and cleanliness of the community * Communicating with residents regarding maintenance requests and completed repairs * Maintaining accurate work order documentation * Following company safety standards and maintenance procedures * Participating in the on-call rotation as scheduled * Working closely with the Maintenance Supervisor and community team to deliver exceptional service What We're Looking For * Previous apartment maintenance or general maintenance experience preferred * Experience with HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliance repair, or carpentry * EPA Certification preferred (or willingness to obtain) * Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills * Excellent customer service and communication abilities * Ability to work independently and as part of a team * Valid driver's license and reliable transportation * Positive attitude and strong work ethic Why Ivy & Elm Student housing is different. Residents depend on a community that's clean, safe, and well-maintained so they can focus on classes, campus life, and everything that comes with college. Your work directly impacts: * Resident satisfaction * Apartment readiness * Community appearance * Resident retention * The overall success of the property Every repair matters. Every apartment matters. Every resident matters. Interested? If you enjoy solving problems... If you take pride in quality workmanship...
