Maintenance Technician

Miami's luxury multifamily market runs at a pace that punishes deferred maintenance. High humidity, salt air, and year-round pool and HVAC demand mean a maintenance technician here carries a heavier daily load than the same role in most other markets. Waypoint Management Services is staffing for exactly that reality at one of their high-end communities.

What the Work Actually Looks Like

This is a full-scope maintenance technician position covering the day-to-day upkeep of an apartment community. You'll diagnose and repair service issues across plumbing, HVAC, carpentry, and general building systems, while also owning the make-ready process for vacant units. That means coordinating with contractors on punch lists, confirming units meet move-in standards, and keeping the turn cycle tight. Preventive maintenance on HVAC equipment runs on a regular schedule, and priority work orders carry a 24-hour resolution expectation. You'll also handle pool service and chemical readings, maintain the trash compactor, and ensure gate and security equipment stays operational. Grounds maintenance and clean-up tasks round out the scope. On-call availability is part of the role.

OSHA compliance isn't treated as a formality here. You're expected to know current safety standards and apply them without prompting. EPA Section 608 Type I and II certification is required before you start. A CPO (Certified Pool Operator) credential is a plus, and in a Miami community with year-round pool use, it carries real weight.

What Waypoint Is Looking For

• Hands-on experience repairing building systems and equipment across multiple trade areas
• EPA Section 608 Type I and II certification (required)
• CPO certification (preferred)
• Familiarity with OSHA standards and safe handling of service materials
• Strong service orientation and a high-energy approach to resident interactions
• Availability for on-call rotation
• High school diploma or equivalent, with relevant work experience or training

Waypoint offers medical, dental, and vision coverage starting day one, a 401(k) with matching, incentive and bonus opportunities, an employee referral program, and an onsite housing discount. The company has an employee recognition program as well.

One thing worth knowing: technicians who build a strong track record across trade skills in luxury communities often move into lead tech or maintenance supervisor roles faster than they would at Class B or C properties. The documentation standards and vendor coordination expectations at the luxury level translate directly into the skills ownership groups look for when they promote from within.
