I own and manage two apartment buildings in Chicago, an 8 unit in Portage Park and a 7 unit in Avondale.
Looking for a part-time building handyman and / or maintenance lead. This could possibly be two positions, one for each building. Living in close proximity to one or both of the buildings is considered a plus.
Inquiries must have handyman experience to help with the following activities:
+ Small piping plumbing, sinks, toilets, bath / shower repair.
+ General wall work, drywall repair and painting.
+ Small appliance troubleshooting, fridges, ovens, dishwashers, washers & dryers, window unit installation and removal.
+ Light electrical, thermostat replacement, overhead lite wiring, etc.
+ Winterization
+ Apartment turnover
+ Small static mechanical devices, such as locks, keys, doors, windows, etc.
+ Good communication and professional demeanor with the tenants.
+ Some English language required, some Spanish a plus.
Job would be 10-20 hours a week, potentially higher during peak periods. Trial period would start at $30 per hour with pay potentially increasing to $50 / hour, depending on skillset, trustworthiness, and initiative.
We are a small business, run by two brothers, we are offering honest pay for honest work.
Please, only reply with serious inquiries. Not interested in those who primarily specialize in general contractor / lump-sum per job type work or folks who specialize is design or remodeling jobs. This job posting is primarily (90%) running maintenance type jobs.
Trial period would run 2-4 weeks, open to alternate compensation discussion and structures following a trial period.
