We Don't Need Another "Good Enough" Maintenance Tech. We Need a Fixer. Location: Northeast Ohio Company: Smartland - 1,400+ rental homes and apartment units across Northeast Ohio Most maintenance techs clock in, knock out a work order, and clock out. That's fine. But that's not who we're looking for. We're looking for the person who fixes the leaky faucet - and tightens the wobbly cabinet handle while they're at it. The person who doesn't shrug and say "I don't know" - they say "let me figure this out." Smartland is hiring a Senior Maintenance Technician who genuinely loves solving problems, takes real pride in their work, and treats every unit like it's their own home. If you get a little fired up when something's broken and you can't walk away until it's right - keep reading. This Role Is for You If... • You've got 3+ years of hands-on residential or multifamily maintenance experience - enough to be dangerous with a wrench, but you're still hungry to learn more • You think outside the box when the parts store is closed and a tenant's heat is out - you find a way, safely, and follow up in the morning • You take pride in doing it right the first time - cutting corners makes you cringe • You don't need someone looking over your shoulder - hand you a work order list and you'll prioritize, execute, and document it without being asked • You treat tenants with respect - you knock, you introduce yourself, you explain what you're doing, and you clean up when you're done • You want to actually build a career , not just collect a paycheck This Role Is NOT for You If... • You do the bare minimum and call it a day • You disappear when the on-call phone rings • You need to be told twice • You think "that's not my job" when something needs doing • You leave a mess behind or treat a tenant's home like a job site What You'll Actually Do You'll be the person tenants are relieved to see at their door. You'll handle a wide range of work across our portfolio of homes and apartments - no two days look the same, and that's the point. Day to day, you'll: • Tackle service requests and emergency repairs - plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliances, carpentry, you name it • Complete unit turns on time and up to Smartland standards - patch, paint, repair, and get units rent-ready fast • Perform inspections and preventive maintenance so small problems don't become big ones • Assist with exterior repairs and maintenance as needed (candidates with exterior experience — we'd especially love to hear from you) • Document your work in AppFolio - notes, photos, parts used - because good communication matters as much as good hands • Support junior techs who are learning the ropes and coordinate with vendors when specialty work is needed • Communicate professionally and warmly with residents and staff - you're the face of our maintenance team What You Bring • 3+ years in residential or multifamily maintenance • Solid troubleshooting skills across plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliances, and carpentry - you don't have to be a master in all of them, but you're not afraid of any of them • Exterior maintenance experience is a big plus • A valid driver's license with a clean record • Your own basic tools and comfort using mobile apps for work orders • The ability to lift 75 lbs and work indoors and outdoors in Northeast Ohio weather • A positive attitude that tenants and teammates actually want to be around What You Get This isn't a dead-end gig. We invest in people who invest in the work. • $25–$30/hr based on experience • Medical, dental, and vision insurance • PTO + paid holidays • A real career path: Senior Tech → Lead Tech → Supervisor. We promote from within and want to help you get there. Schedule • Full-time, Monday through Friday • Rotating on-call (evenings/weekends) - because emergencies don't wait, and neither do you • Travel between properties in your company vehicle Sound Like You? If you read this and thought "finally, a company that actually gets it" - we should talk. Apply today. We're not looking for a résumé full of certifications. We're looking for someone who cares, shows up, and figures it out. loc: domestic
