Property Maintenance & Personal Property Assistant

Job Description

Property Maintenance & General Handyman

Full-Time 35–45 Hours Per Week

We are seeking a dependable, hardworking, and versatile Property Maintenance & General Handyman to assist the owner of a property management company with a variety of maintenance, repair, and property-related responsibilities.

This is not a position where every day will look the same. Work will take place at various rental properties/job sites as well as the owner's private residence and property, depending on the needs of the day.

The ideal candidate is someone who is handy, self-motivated, dependable, flexible, and comfortable figuring things out. You do not need to know how to do absolutely everything, but you do need to recognize when you don't know something, communicate that, ask questions, and be willing to learn.

What You'll Be Doing

Responsibilities will vary and may include:

General home and property repairs

Basic maintenance and handyman work

Minor carpentry and repair projects

Replacing or repairing doors, locks, handles, fixtures, shelving, and other household items

Basic painting, patching, caulking, and finishing work

Troubleshooting minor maintenance problems

Property upkeep and preventative maintenance

Assisting with rental property maintenance and turnovers

Picking up materials or supplies as needed

Helping maintain the owner's home and surrounding property

Routine pool and outdoor property maintenance

Garden, yard, and seasonal property projects

Cleaning and organizing work areas after projects

Assisting with larger projects alongside other workers or contractors

Learning recurring maintenance routines and completing them independently

Handling miscellaneous projects and tasks as needs arise

Many of the projects involved are the types of repairs and maintenance an experienced, handy homeowner would typically be comfortable performing.

For work requiring a licensed professional or specialized contractor, you will not be expected to pretend you are one. Good judgment includes knowing when a project is outside your experience or ability.

What We're Looking For

The right person will:

Be dependable and show up when scheduled

Be available approximately 35–40+ hours per week

Have a positive attitude and willingness to help

Be flexible when priorities or work locations change

Be comfortable working at both private residences and rental properties

Be able to take direction and follow through on assignments

Be able to work independently without constant supervision

Work well alongside other employees, contractors, and property management staff

Have good common sense and problem-solving abilities

Communicate clearly when they have questions or need additional direction

Be willing to learn new tasks and routines

Take pride in completing work correctly rather than simply getting it done

Treat homes, tenants, owners, tools, equipment, and property with respect

Be trustworthy and responsible when working independently on private property

Requirements

Applicants must have:

A valid driver's license

A reliable personal vehicle

Current automobile insurance

A working cell phone

Their own basic hand and power tools

General handyman, maintenance, construction, property maintenance, or similar practical experience

The physical ability to perform routine property maintenance and repair work

The ability to travel between job sites as needed

Specialty tools and equipment can be provided when a particular project requires them.

Experience

We value practical ability, reliability, judgment, and willingness to learn.

You may be a good fit if you have experience in:

Property maintenance

Apartment or rental maintenance

Handyman services

Residential construction or remodeling

Carpentry

Facilities maintenance

Home repair

General labor with repair or maintenance experience

Maintaining your own home, acreage, rental properties, or similar property

Formal training is helpful but is not necessarily required. Being capable, dependable, teachable, and able to use good judgment matters.

Important: This Is a Flexible Position

This position is best suited for someone who likes variety.

Some days may involve several small repairs at rental properties. Other days may be spent working primarily at the owner's residence completing maintenance, outdoor, pool, garden, organization, or improvement projects.

Priorities can change based on maintenance requests, weather, property needs, and unexpected repairs.

If you need every day to follow exactly the same schedule and job description, this probably will not be the right position. If you enjoy staying busy, solving problems, learning new things, and having different projects to work on, you may be an excellent fit.

What Matters Most

We are looking for someone we can trust and depend on.

You don't have to know how to fix everything.

You do need to be willing to say, "I'm not sure how to do this. Can you show me?" rather than guessing, ignoring the problem, or doing something incorrectly.

Communication, common sense, dependability, flexibility, and a good attitude are extremely important in this position.

Job Type: Full-Time

Expected Hours: Approximately 35–45 hours per week
