Experienced Field Maintenance Technician (3+ Years Required)

What You'll Actually Do

This role puts you in the field across a portfolio of residential and commercial properties in the Lawrenceville area, working through work orders that you own from start to finish. That means diagnosing the problem, executing the repair, managing the budget for the job, and closing it out correctly. Lessen operates at scale, completing millions of work orders annually through a network of vetted vendors and in-house technicians, so the expectation is that you bring enough experience to work independently. At least three years of verifiable, hands-on maintenance or trade experience is a genuine floor here, not a soft suggestion.

The day-to-day covers a broad scope of general property maintenance. You'll manage your schedule, prioritize your queue, and make judgment calls on what needs immediate attention versus what can be planned. The company's stated priority is quality over volume, which matters in practice: you're not being pushed to close ten tickets by noon. You're expected to close the right tickets correctly.

A few things worth noting about the structure of this position: there's no on-call rotation and the schedule runs weekdays. For experienced techs who've spent years fielding Saturday night calls, that's a meaningful shift. The company provides a fleet vehicle, fuel card, a tool and equipment allowance, and a cell phone stipend. A $1,500 sign-on bonus is included, along with eligibility for a quarterly discretionary bonus of up to 5% of quarterly earnings.

What You Bring

• Minimum 3 years of verifiable hands-on experience in property maintenance or a skilled trade
• Ability to diagnose and resolve a wide range of maintenance issues without supervision
• Comfort managing work order budgets and tracking costs per job
• Solution-oriented approach: you're expected to problem-solve in the field, not escalate everything
• Reliable, organized, and able to manage your own schedule across multiple properties

Where This Role Can Lead

Lessen is expanding nationally and has explicitly built a growth path into this position. Strong field technicians here have a clear trajectory toward Lead Technician and Field Maintenance Manager roles. That path is worth thinking about seriously. The skills you build in a portfolio-level maintenance role, specifically budget management, multi-property coordination, and vendor-quality judgment, translate directly into operations management in property management. Technicians who understand how work orders connect to NOI and asset performance become candidates for roles most maintenance techs never reach. If you're three to five years into a maintenance career and thinking about what comes next, a position that gives you ownership over your work and exposes you to large-scale property operations is a genuine step up the ladder.
