Maintenance and Pool Technician

Mountaineer Cleaning & Maintenance Vacation Rental Maintenance & Pool Technician

Do you enjoy working outdoors, solving problems, fixing things, and keeping properties looking guest‑ready? Are you the kind of person who notices when something's leaking, broken, blinking, or "making a weird noise" before everyone else does? Perfect. We should probably talk.

Mountaineer Cleaning & Maintenance is looking for a reliable, hardworking Maintenance & Pool Technician to help maintain vacation rental cabins and pools throughout the Great Smoky Mountains area.

This position combines hands‑on property maintenance with pool and hot tub care. One minute you might be troubleshooting a Wi‑Fi issue, and the next you’re making sure a pool is crystal clear and guest‑ready. No two days are exactly the same - which is great news if sitting behind a desk sounds like your personal nightmare.

At Mountaineer Cleaning & Maintenance, we don’t just fill positions - we build teams. We believe in supporting our employees, providing steady work, and creating an environment where people actually enjoy coming to work most days. We work hard, help each other out, and occasionally battle hot tubs that seem personally offended by chemistry.

• Perform routine pool and hot tub cleaning, maintenance, and chemical balancing
• Skim, vacuum, brush, and maintain pools to ensure they remain clean and guest‑ready
• Inspect and troubleshoot pool equipment and report or complete minor repairs
• Handle general maintenance tasks across vacation rental cabins
• Troubleshoot issues involving appliances, HVAC systems, plumbing, Wi‑Fi, and basic electrical components
• Perform property inspections and identify maintenance concerns before guests do
• Coordinate with third‑party vendors when needed
• Use company‑provided technology to manage work orders and updates
• Maintain a professional and friendly attitude while working around guests, owners, and team members

• Maintenance experience preferred, but we’re willing to train the right person with strong mechanical ability and work ethic
• Pool maintenance experience is MANDATORY
• Comfortable working independently and managing daily routes/tasks
• Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills
• Ability to lift 40+ pounds and work in outdoor conditions year‑round
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record insurable under company policy
• Reliable transportation to and from work
• Basic technology skills – if an iPad causes immediate emotional distress, this may not be the role for you
• Weekend and holiday availability as needed

• CPO (Certified Pool Operator) certification
• Experience in vacation rental or hospitality maintenance
• Knowledge of hot tubs, pumps, plumbing, or HVAC systems

• Benefits available after 30 days, including PTO, Sick Time, 401(k), and Health Insurance assistance
• Company vehicle, tools, and phone provided
• Steady full‑time work year‑round
• Training provided for the right candidate
• Work in the beautiful Smoky Mountains instead of under fluorescent office lights
• A team that values hard work, reliability, and people who can solve problems without creating three new ones

If you’re dependable, motivated, and enjoy seeing the results of your work at the end of the day, we’d love to hear from you.
