Love people? Love fixing things? You'll fit right in.
At The Rails, we don't just maintain apartments. We take care of people's homes. Our team believes in loving people and creating an amazing experience for every resident, every day. As a Maintenance Technician, you're at the center of that.
Here's the truth: the maintenance team makes or breaks how residents feel about where they live. A leak fixed fast, a friendly hello, a note saying what you did. Those small moments are why residents love living here, renew their leases and tell their friends and family to move in too. You won't just close work orders. You'll be the reason people want to stay.
What your days look like
- Being the hero of the service request: You'll fix plumbing, electrical, HVAC and appliance issues. Then you'll close the loop in Entrata with notes and photos so residents know exactly what got done.
- Making homes move-in ready: You'll turn vacant apartments using our Make Ready checklist so every new resident walks into a place that feels like home on day one.
- Staying a step ahead: You'll handle preventative maintenance like HVAC filters, caulking, plumbing inspections and lock batteries. Small fixes now mean happy residents later.
- Showing up when it counts: You'll respond calmly and quickly to emergencies like active leaks, loss of heat or A/C, fire system issues and gas odors. You'll stabilize the situation, prevent damage and make residents feel taken care of.
- Taking your turn on call: You'll share in a rotation that covers after-hours emergencies on nights and weekends.
- Braving the elements: In winter you'll clear snow and ice starting at 6:00 AM, so walkways, entrances and fire exits are safe before residents head out.
- Protecting our community: You'll guard master keys and access codes, maintain locks and entry systems and keep everyone safe and secure.
- Treating every home with respect: You'll knock, announce yourself, communicate with care and keep residents' business private.
- Being a great teammate: You'll work hand in hand with the office team and vendors, and keep the shop organized and ready to roll.
