MAINTENANCE TECH - GRADE C
Location: Roosevelt House I and II Apartments
Owensboro, KY
OVERVIEW OF THE POSITION:
This position is located in the Roosevelt House I and II Apartments, two buildings consisting of 220 units and 100 units of elderly housing. The position is integral in the smooth operation of the buildings. The individual in this position is responsible for everything that a prospective client and current resident see from the time they enter our building or leave their apartment home. That first impression tells a prospective resident more about the building's operation than any words could explain. This is an important position and is highly regarded within the organization. Not only is it imperative that the building is presented well to our guests, but our residents are entitled to a surrounding that they can be proud of and show off to their friends and family. Market ready apartments must be ready for a prospective resident to view. Oftentimes the cleanliness of the vacant apartment makes the sale. Safety of our residents is also an important aspect of our service, the Maintenance Technician C is involved in maintaining floors, elevators, places that could be of potential danger to our residents if not well maintained and serviced in a timely manner. This individual is also instrumental in maintaining the building through processing of resident's request in the form of work orders, performing preventive maintenance tasks, and making vacant apartments market ready. Income is directly related to the marketability of the building. Equally important to leasing apartments is resident retention. The number one reason an individual moves is due to lack of maintenance attention.
