Job Description

Greystar is a leading, fully integrated global real estate platform known for its expertise in property management, investment management, development, and construction services focused on institutional-quality rental housing. Headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, Greystar has established itself as the largest operator of apartments in the United States, managing over 1,000,000 units and beds worldwide. The firm operates in more than 250 markets across North America, Europe, South America, and the Asia-Pacific region, managing and operating real estate assets valued at over $300 billion globally. With nearly $79 billion of assets under management, including over $35 billion in development assets and $30 billion in regulatory assets, Greystar has a strong footprint in the real estate industry built on quality and innovation since its founding in 1993 by Bob Faith.

This specific role within Greystar focuses on maintaining the physical aspects and curb appeal of residential communities under management. The Maintenance Associate role is crucial in ensuring that the grounds, amenities, and common areas meet Greystar's high standards of neatness, safety, and attractiveness at all times. This position supports the broader service and maintenance team by handling minor routine service requests, managing trash removal, and assisting in the make-ready process for apartments. The role also requires vigilant inspection of the community to remove litter, debris, and pet droppings throughout the day, ensuring that the environment remains welcoming and pristine for residents, guests, and team members.

Successful candidates will demonstrate a strong commitment to safety by adhering to Greystar's risk management policies, attending mandatory safety meetings, and complying with OSHA and other regulations.

Greystar offers a comprehensive benefits package that emphasizes competitive medical, dental, vision, and disability insurance coverage, as well as generous paid time off and long-term incentives such as a 6-week paid sabbatical after ten years of service. Additional benefits include employee assistance programs, legal and pet insurance options, a 401(k) plan with matching contributions, paid parental leave, and onsite housing discounts for team members.

Working in this role means being part of a highly respected and globally recognized leader in rental residential real estate management, one committed to delivering world-class service while fostering a supportive and rewarding work environment. Greystar encourages a culture of respect, professionalism, and continuous improvement, providing employees with career growth opportunities and a commitment to their well-being.
