Experienced Field Maintenance Technician (3+ Years Required)

What You'll Actually Do

This is a field-based maintenance role covering residential properties in the Lawrenceville area for Lessen, a national property services company that operates at significant scale across both residential and commercial real estate. Your day centers on work orders: you own them from assignment through close-out, which means diagnosing the problem, sourcing materials within budget, completing the work to a quality standard, and documenting it properly. The emphasis here is quality over volume. Lessen tracks outcomes, and a well-completed work order matters more than a high ticket count.

The scope is general maintenance across a portfolio of properties. You'll handle the kind of work that shows up regularly in property management: plumbing repairs, HVAC filters and minor mechanical issues, appliance troubleshooting, carpentry, drywall patching, and general make-ready tasks between residents. Budget awareness is part of the job. You're expected to manage materials costs per work order and flag anything that escalates toward capex territory rather than absorbing it silently.

One detail worth noting: this position carries no on-call rotation and runs a standard weekday schedule. In residential maintenance, that's genuinely uncommon. Most techs working for property management companies carry after-hours and weekend responsibilities. If work-life structure matters to you, that's a meaningful difference in this role.

What You Bring

• A minimum of 3 years of verifiable, hands-on experience in property maintenance or a skilled trade
• The ability to self-direct through a work order queue without constant supervision
• Comfort working across multiple property locations rather than a single site
• Basic budget tracking skills tied to materials and job costs
• Strong communication with clients and property contacts at each site
• A valid driver's license (Lessen provides a company fleet vehicle and fuel card)

OSHA training is provided, so current certification isn't a prerequisite. A $50 monthly tool allowance and $50 cell phone allowance are included, along with a $1,500 sign-on bonus and eligibility for a quarterly discretionary bonus of up to 5% of quarterly earnings.

Where This Role Can Take You

Lessen is expanding nationally, and the company has structured a clear path from Field Maintenance Technician into Lead Technician and Field Maintenance Manager roles. The skill set you build here, specifically managing work orders across a dispersed portfolio, communicating with clients, and making judgment calls on scope and budget, transfers directly into supervisory roles where you're coordinating other techs rather than just running your own queue. Technicians who document their work cleanly, stay within budget consistently, and build reliable client relationships tend to be the ones who move into lead positions first. That's the pattern across the industry, and it applies here.
