Experienced Field Maintenance Technician (3+ Years Required)

You're standing in a unit, work order on your phone, and you've already spotted two things the previous tech missed. That instinct, the ability to assess a space and think three steps ahead, is exactly what this role asks of you from day one.

The Work Itself

Lessen operates a tech-enabled property services platform that manages work orders at significant scale, completing over 3.5 million annually across a portfolio exceeding one million properties. As a Field Maintenance Technician in Seattle, you're the hands-on execution layer of that system. You'll own your work orders from dispatch to close-out, manage per-job budgets, and deliver maintenance across a mix of residential and commercial properties in the local portfolio.

This isn't a reactive, break-fix-only position. Lessen's model emphasizes quality over volume, which means you're expected to think through a repair rather than just patch it. You'll work a weekday schedule with no on-call rotation, which is a real differentiator compared to most in-house property maintenance roles where after-hours calls are part of the deal.

The company provides a fleet vehicle with a fuel card, a monthly tool and equipment allowance, and a cell phone allowance. OSHA training is provided. A sign-on bonus and quarterly discretionary bonuses up to 5% of quarterly earnings are also part of the compensation structure, with a base pay range starting at $23 to $27 per hour depending on skill level and verifiable experience.

What This Role Requires and What It Builds

The baseline requirement is at least three years of verifiable, hands-on experience in property maintenance or a skilled trade. You need to arrive able to manage general repairs independently, read a work order critically, and handle budgets at the job level without hand-holding. Those are entry requirements, not things you'll develop here.

What the role builds is different. Working across a diverse portfolio through a platform that tracks performance data gives you exposure to how maintenance operations are measured and optimized at scale. That's a skill set that translates directly into lead technician and field maintenance manager roles, which Lessen explicitly supports as growth paths. Techs who advance here tend to be the ones who treat each work order as a diagnostic exercise rather than a task to close out quickly.

• Minimum 3 years of hands-on property maintenance or trade experience, verifiable
• Comfort working independently across multiple properties in a given day
• Ability to manage job-level budgets and document work accurately through a tech platform
• Solution-oriented approach to repairs, not just symptom treatment
• Valid driver's license required for fleet vehicle use

One honest note on what separates strong candidates here: Lessen's platform-driven model means your work is tracked and visible in ways that traditional in-house roles don't always surface. Techs who are consistent, thorough, and accurate in their documentation stand out quickly. Those who rely on informal workarounds or incomplete close-outs will find the model less forgiving than a single-site job might be.
