A Building and General Maintenance Technician performs building maintenance and appliance repairs for an apartment complex, housing division, residential center or business, as directed by a property manager.
No weekends. No on-call. Just a consistent M-F schedule at a well-run South Bay property. 8:00 AM - 3:30 PM daily (includes 30-minute lunch). Same schedule every week. If you're an experienced maintenance tech who values stability, quality work, and a property you can take pride in — this role is for you. About the Property We are a privately owned and operated multi-family community in the South Bay Area. Our occupancy consistently runs at 90-100% and our residents stay. We're a small team: a Resident Manager, a Property Manager, and you. Everyone here cares about the quality of the work. Position Summary This is a hands-on, self-directed role. You will manage your daily work routine, handle routine and repair work orders through property management software, maintain the property's common areas and amenities to a high standard, and work closely with the Resident Manager. You will not be micromanaged — but you will be held to clear standards that are documented and tracked.
