Maintenance Technician

Bozzuto has a reputation in this industry for running tight communities and investing in the people who keep them running. This Maintenance Technician opening in Fort Lauderdale is a ground-level role in the truest sense: you're the person residents call when something goes wrong, and you're the reason a turned unit looks ready for a new resident to sign a lease and move in with confidence.

The work is what you'd expect from a solid mid-size property management company. Service ticket resolution, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliance repair. Turns and make-readies. Grounds upkeep. You'll also carry your share of the on-call rotation, which means the occasional evening or weekend call-out is part of the deal. That's not a small thing. If after-hours availability is a dealbreaker for you, this role isn't the right fit. If you're already used to it, you know it's just part of working in residential maintenance.

One thing worth noting: Bozzuto will pay for your EPA 608 Universal Refrigerant Certification after your first year. For a technician who doesn't yet have it, that's real money and a real credential. It opens doors to more complex HVAC work and, frankly, to higher-paying roles down the road. Companies that pay for certifications are showing you something about how they treat their maintenance staff.

What they're looking for

• Some background in building maintenance or a trades education, beginner to intermediate skill level across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and appliance repair
• Ability to handle on-call emergencies and participate in the rotation
• Physical capability to lift and exert force regularly throughout a shift (25 to 50 lbs frequently)
• Reliable personal transportation for getting to the property and responding after hours
• Comfort with basic software and mobile apps used for work orders and maintenance tracking
• Clear written and verbal communication, professional presentation

The salary range sits between $51,000 and $53,000, plus bonus eligibility. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, 20 days of paid time off plus holidays, a 401k with company match, and tuition reimbursement.

What separates a strong candidate here isn't just technical skill. It's the combination of solid hands-on ability and genuine customer service instincts. In residential property management, a technician who fixes things correctly and leaves the resident feeling heard is worth considerably more to an operation than one who only does half of that. Bozzuto properties tend to skew toward quality communities where resident experience is taken seriously. That culture starts with who they put in front of residents every day.
