Maintenance Technician

What You'll Actually Do

Berkshire Ninth Street needs a Maintenance Technician who treats the physical condition of the property as a personal standard, not just a job requirement. Day to day, that means handling work orders across plumbing, electrical, appliances, and carpentry, keeping the shop organized, tracking inventory, and making sure equipment and keys are properly secured. Curb appeal is part of the job too. You're expected to walk the property with a critical eye and flag what needs attention before residents or management have to ask.

You'll work closely with the on-site management team to uphold community standards and make sure safety protocols are followed consistently. When a resident has a maintenance concern, how you handle that interaction matters just as much as the repair itself. Berkshire operates its own properties rather than managing third-party assets, which means there's real investment in keeping quality high and keeping residents satisfied long-term.

What You Bring

• At least one year of hands-on maintenance experience in a residential community setting
• Working knowledge across appliances, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and general building upkeep
• Comfort with basic computer use and written communication in English
• A self-directed approach to inspecting and prioritizing work without needing constant direction

Why This Role Is Worth a Closer Look

Technicians who do well in this kind of environment tend to be the ones who think like a make-ready coordinator even when that's not their title. They notice the punch list item that wasn't written down. They finish a turn and check it twice. That instinct, combined with strong resident communication, is what separates a good tech from one who becomes a lead or a service manager over time.

Berkshire offers three weeks of vacation, a 25% rent discount, insurance, and personal development planning. For someone early in a maintenance career who wants to build real breadth across property systems, this is a solid place to develop that foundation under a company that owns what it manages.
