We’re a fast-growing property management company working across Albany, Troy, Schenectady. We’re looking for a dependable, skilled Maintenance Technician who can work independently, solve problems, and communicate clearly with our team and tenants.
This role offers a lot of independence. We're looking for someone who can walk into a situation, assess what needs to be done, and take the right next steps—whether that means fixing it, flagging it for follow-up, or letting the office know what’s needed. You’ll have support when you need it, but we trust you to take ownership in the field. If you're dependable, resourceful, and take pride in your work, you’ll be a great fit here.
You’ll be supported by a full-time office coordinator dedicated to making sure you have what you need—access, supplies, scheduling, and backup. You must be able to communicate clearly with the team and provide written updates in our system. (Text-to-talk and simple forms are available—no advanced writing skills needed.) Above all, we’re looking for someone honest, ethical, and trustworthy in the field.
You’ll regularly enter occupied tenant units, so professionalism is essential. That means being punctual, appropriate, respectful, and solution-focused. Most of the residents we work with are truly wonderful—and when they’re not, the office steps in to manage it. We do everything we can to give tenants a high standard of care. Public records are checked prior to site visits, and background checks are completed before start. We do not accept applicants with any record of theft, fraud, or intentional harm to others or property.

-Fixing leaky faucets, running toilets, or basic plumbing clogs

What We’re Looking For:
-Trustworthy, reliable, and self-motivated
-Great at problem-solving and following through
