Maintenance Technician

It's 7 a.m. on a Monday and the punch list from the weekend on-call shift is already waiting: a reported HVAC issue in Building C, two work orders from Saturday, and a vacant unit that needs to be turned before the new resident moves in Friday. That's a typical morning for a Maintenance Technician at Hillpointe's Bethlehem, GA community.

The Work

Hillpointe builds and operates market-rate workforce housing across the Sun Belt, and this role sits at the center of keeping a property performing. You'll handle the full range of day-to-day maintenance: completing resident work orders, running preventive maintenance tasks, conducting inspections, and doing whatever it takes to keep buildings, amenities, and common areas clean, safe, and functional. Make-readies are a core part of the job. When a unit turns, you're prepping it to meet move-in standards on schedule, because vacancy days cost money and a slow turn shows up in NOI.

You'll also manage inventory, coordinate with vendors and contractors, and keep documentation current. Grounds upkeep is part of the rotation, and you'll participate in safety meetings and follow OSHA protocols. A rotating on-call schedule means some evenings, early mornings, and weekends are part of the deal.

What You Bring

• Hands-on mechanical and troubleshooting ability across building systems, including HVAC, plumbing, and electrical
• Experience completing work orders and pre-move-out inspections with accuracy and follow-through
• EPA Type I and II or Universal certification for refrigerant recycling, or willingness to obtain it
• Valid driver's license (required for golf cart operation on property)
• Comfort reading technical manuals, blueprints, or schematics
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs regularly, climb ladders, and work in outdoor or confined conditions across varying temperatures
• High school diploma or GED, with relevant hands-on experience or training

Strong candidates in this type of role tend to be self-starters who close out work orders the same day they open them and flag a small issue before it becomes a capital repair. That instinct, catching a failing HVAC component during a routine PM rather than after a resident complaint, is what separates a technician who just keeps up from one who actually protects the asset. At a vertically integrated developer like Hillpointe, that attention to the physical condition of the property directly ties back to asset performance.

For technicians looking to grow, this role builds a track record that leads naturally toward Lead Technician or Maintenance Supervisor positions, particularly at a company that develops and manages its own portfolio at scale.
