Maintenance Technician (59281)

A resident calls at 7:45 a.m.: the hot water's out in unit 114. Before the office opens, you've already checked the water heater, pulled the work order, and documented the repair. That rhythm, responding fast and closing things out clean, is what keeps 196 units running at San Lucas Senior Apartments.

What the Job Covers

Cirrus Asset Management is hiring a Maintenance Technician for San Lucas Senior Apartments, a 196-unit community in Los Angeles. The schedule runs Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with on-call availability for after-hours emergencies. Pay falls between $25 and $26 per hour.

Day-to-day responsibilities include completing work orders within set timeframes, turning over vacant units within five days of move-out, and conducting regular building surveys to catch mechanical issues before they escalate. On the technical side, you'll handle electrical maintenance (light fixtures, sockets, circuit breakers), plumbing and heating repairs, lock and door hardware, and interior and exterior painting prep and application. You'll also maintain required documentation for fire extinguishers, suppression systems, and building alarms, keeping the property up to code and audit-ready.

Participation in ongoing safety and technical training is part of the role, as is keeping a clean work environment and tracking materials usage through proper documentation.

What You Bring

• At least one year of hands-on experience as a maintenance technician (required)
• High school diploma
• Working knowledge of general maintenance methods, tools, and common building systems
• Strong time management and the ability to prioritize competing work orders
• Manual dexterity and attention to detail
• Problem-solving instincts, particularly under pressure
• Relevant certifications such as HVAC or CMRP are a plus, not a requirement

One thing worth knowing about senior communities specifically: the bar for response quality is high. Residents are often on fixed schedules and may have mobility or health considerations that make a slow repair more than an inconvenience. Technicians who do well in this environment tend to communicate clearly with residents, not just fix the problem and leave. That soft skill matters as much as the technical one.

Benefits include paid holiday, sick, and vacation time, along with health, dental, vision, and life insurance, a 401(k) plan, and access to HSA, FSA, HRP, and HRA accounts.
