Maintenance Technician - 186

Skills This Role Runs On

This position draws on a broad technical base. You'll work across plumbing, electrical, appliances, carpentry, and general building systems on any given day. The work isn't specialized in one trade. It's generalist maintenance done consistently well, which means your ability to diagnose quickly and execute without a lot of hand-holding matters more than depth in any single area.

Resident interaction is part of the job too. You're not just fixing things in empty units. You're communicating with people who live there, which means your customer service instincts get used as often as your tools.

What You'll Handle Day to Day

Walton Lofts is a Berkshire-owned and managed property, so standards get set in-house rather than filtered through a third-party management layer. That means accountability is direct and expectations are consistent.

• Complete service requests across all trade categories: plumbing, electrical, appliances, carpentry
• Support unit turns and make-readies, including punch list completion
• Maintain curb appeal through regular inspections and follow-through
• Manage shop organization, equipment upkeep, and inventory control
• Enforce safety protocols and maintain key security procedures
• Back up the management team in upholding property and company standards

You'll need at least one year of hands-on maintenance experience in a residential or commercial setting. Computer proficiency is required for work order systems and documentation.

What Separates Strong Candidates Here

Technicians who do well in this kind of role stay ahead of the work order queue instead of just reacting to it. They notice things on property walks before residents call them in. They treat make-readies with the same attention they'd give an occupied unit repair. Berkshire operates its own portfolio, so the care you put into the physical asset has a direct connection to how the property performs. That context tends to matter to people who take their craft seriously.

Berkshire offers three weeks of vacation, a 25% rent discount, and personal development plans. They're explicit about building careers, not just filling positions.
