Thomas Park is a full-service commercial real estate firm offering alternative investment strategies and third-party commercial real estate services.

The Small Projects Technician is a versatile field team member who handles commercial renovation, maintenance, and refresh work for J. Thomas Property Services clients. This is a ground-floor opportunity to grow with a company that is actively expanding its commercial property services portfolio across Central Maryland.

This is not a specialized trade role - it is a multi-skill position requiring someone who can pivot between tasks, self-start on job sites, and get things done with minimal oversight. The ideal hire is someone who takes pride in quality work regardless of the task.

• Commercial drywall (metal stud framing, fire-rated assemblies, demising walls)
• Interior framing - understanding stud spacing, metal vs. wood framing nuances
• Ceiling grid work, tile installation
• Door installation, replacement, hardware
• Basic carpentry and trim work
• Flooring - hardwood, laminate, tile
• Interior/exterior painting
• Light fixture installation and upgrades

• Pressure washing
• Gutter cleaning and downspout inspection
• Concrete patching, brick repointing
• Asphalt cold patch repairs
• Parking lot line re-striping, curb painting
• Caulking
• Furniture/fixture mounting and assembly
• Bulk trash hauling (when needed)

Candidates must be comfortable stepping out of "builder mode" and into labor/general maintenance tasks. This is expected - and is framed as part of the company's growth stage, not a permanent state.

• Handyman service experience - especially commercial or light commercial
• Commercial renovation or remodel background (preferred over pure residential)
• Apartment turnover experience - fast, quality-focused, self-directed
• Any construction field work where they've framed, drywalled, painted, or renovated spaces
• NOT required: blueprint-to-finish construction or heavy structural work

• Drywall and paint - must be comfortable with these, even if not expert-level
• Metal stud framing - understanding of commercial vs. residential differences
• Fire-rated assemblies - working knowledge of demising walls and ratings is a plus
• Ability to troubleshoot and problem-solve when plans change on a job site
• Comfortable operating power tools, hand tools, and specialty equipment

• Self-starter - can receive a job list and execute without hand-holding
• Flexible attitude - no ego about task type
• Reliable - punctual, consistent, shows up ready to work
• Problem-solver - knows when to pivot and how to figure things out
• Team player - willing to support other crew members across tasks
