Maintenance Technician

Maintenance techs at a luxury community earn their pay in the details. A scuff on a freshly painted wall before move-in, a pool chemical reading that's two points off, an HVAC unit that starts cycling too long on a Florida afternoon. This role at Waypoint Management Services in Daytona Beach demands the kind of attention that keeps a high-end property running the way residents expect it to.

The Work Itself

Your day centers on keeping the property in condition. That means diagnosing and repairing plumbing, HVAC, electrical, carpentry, and general building systems. It means completing make-readies that are actually ready, walking units with a critical eye before a new resident signs off on their keys. You'll coordinate with contractors on punch list items, run preventive maintenance on HVAC equipment on a scheduled basis, and keep pool chemical logs current. Priority work orders carry a 24-hour resolution standard, and you'll carry on-call availability to back that up. Grounds upkeep, trash compactor maintenance, gate and security equipment checks: all of it falls within your scope.

EPA Section 608 Type I and II certification is required coming in. A CPO is a plus and makes practical sense given the pool responsibilities in a Florida climate. OSHA standards aren't background knowledge here; you apply them daily.

What Strong Candidates Bring

• Hands-on experience across multiple trade areas: plumbing, HVAC, carpentry, general repairs
• EPA 608 Type I and II certification (required)
• Comfort working from a scheduled PM calendar, not just reactive work orders
• A service orientation that holds up under pressure from residents who expect fast, professional responses
• On-call availability and the reliability to follow through on it
• High school diploma or equivalent, plus relevant field experience or technical training

Working at Waypoint

Waypoint operates a growing portfolio, and this is a luxury community where the bar for presentation and response time is genuinely higher than at a Class B or C asset. The company offers medical, dental, and vision coverage starting day one, 401k with matching, an employee referral program, and an onsite housing discount. Bonus and incentive opportunities are part of the package as well.

One practical note for anyone considering this role: Florida's heat load means HVAC preventive maintenance isn't a once-a-year checkbox. Units that aren't properly serviced fail during peak summer demand, which drives up emergency calls and resident complaints. Techs who stay ahead of the PM schedule make a measurable difference in how the property performs operationally and how residents experience it. That's the kind of contribution Waypoint is looking for here.
