Maintenance Technician - Residential

Maintenance Technician - Residential at Lloyd Companies

The maintenance technicians are the heroes of our properties and get to “save the day” for our residents by resolving their maintenance concerns. It is expected that you will take the initiative to complete any task necessary to keep the properties maintained and looking their best by working in a small team that we refer to as pods. You will use your intuition and problem‑solving skills to troubleshoot issues and provide prompt resolutions.

This position is relationship driven, requiring excellent customer service skills. An eye for detail is a must as we expect the property to always look its best for our current and future residents. A sense of pride in ownership, and a great sense of humor are both a plus!

• Arrive on time each day ready to conquer the day with a positive attitude!
• Follow‑up on any calls that may have come in from the night before, to make sure they are resolved.
• Walk all areas of the property (which we call the 4 corners) to ensure the property is trash‑free and looks its best for all the residents and visitors that day.

• Track and manage preventative maintenance items such as parking lot repairs, HVAC cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, down spout repairs, roof repairs, exterior painting, etc.
• Order any inventory needed, but price‑check options first (just like you would if you were writing the check).
• Plan and complete bi‑annual inspections, replacing batteries in thermostats & smoke detectors, changing furnace filters, and checking for any leaks or needed repairs.
• Think outside the box to come up with innovative solutions for common maintenance problems.
• Keep safety on top of mind while completing any task; your health and safety is our #1 priority.
• Assist with snow removal on those cold winter days, snow blowing sidewalks and clearing out dumpster areas.
