Maintenance technician

Picht & Sons is looking for a Maintenance Technician who can handle the everyday repair work that comes with managing residential properties. We need someone who can walk into a property, figure out what’s actually wrong, and either fix it properly or recognize when a specialized contractor needs to be brought in.

The work changes from day to day. You may be repairing a leaking faucet in the morning, getting a vacant home ready for a new tenant in the afternoon, and checking an HVAC or electrical issue before the day is over.

What You'll Handle

• Complete general repairs and maintenance at rental properties throughout the Tallahassee area.
• Respond to tenant maintenance requests and determine the best way to resolve each issue.
• Handle basic plumbing, electrical, drywall, painting, carpentry, fixture, door, lock, and appliance repairs.
• Inspect vacant properties and take care of repairs needed before the next tenant moves in.
• Perform routine property checks and catch maintenance problems before they become expensive repairs.
• Keep property managers updated on completed work and anything requiring additional attention.
• Coordinate with outside contractors when a repair requires licensed or specialized work.
• Maintain accurate records of work completed, materials used, and outstanding repairs.
• Keep tools, equipment, and work areas organized and safe.

What We're Looking For

• Previous residential maintenance, apartment maintenance, construction, handyman, or property repair experience.
• Practical knowledge of common plumbing, electrical, carpentry, drywall, and painting repairs.
• Able to troubleshoot problems instead of simply replacing parts.
• Dependable transportation and a valid driver's license.
• Comfortable working independently and traveling between properties during the workday.
• Good communication with tenants, property managers, and contractors.
• Able to handle the physical requirements of property maintenance, including lifting equipment and working on ladders when necessary.

Benefits

• $42,000 – $58,000 annual salary, depending on experience.
• Paid vacation and personal time.
• Paid company holidays.
• Health insurance options.
• Retirement plan options.
• Mileage reimbursement for approved work travel.
• Company tools or equipment provided where applicable.
• Ongoing maintenance and safety training.
• Opportunity to advance into senior maintenance or property operations positions.
