We operate through various market teams including Leasing, Property Management, Rehab, Turns, and Maintenance, working collectively to ensure high-quality homes and exceptional customer service. Our company fosters an environment of possibility, growth, and career development, making it a place where both residents and associates can thrive.

The Maintenance Technician role at Invitation Homes plays a vital part in maintaining our portfolio of single-family rental homes. This position focuses on performing high-quality maintenance and repair work while delivering outstanding customer service to our residents. Technicians handle requests across multiple trades, conduct proactive visits to homes for maintenance and repair, and contribute to ensuring our properties remain in excellent condition. The role also includes educating residents on maintenance topics, conducting property condition assessments, and working alongside the property management team to address urgent issues. This dynamic role requires technical skill, attention to detail, and a commitment to resident satisfaction.

Offering competitive compensation ranging from $20.19 to $35.00 per hour plus eligibility for an annual discretionary bonus, this position provides a rewarding career path. The role supports a positive work environment with opportunities for training and certification in areas such as HVAC and EPA standards. Invitation Homes values safety and quality, requiring OSHA 10 certification with new hires given 90 days to complete it if not already certified.

In addition to the technical aspects, the Maintenance Technician is expected to be adept at using mobile devices and related applications provided by the company. The position necessitates a current driver’s license and automobile insurance, as well as the ability to perform physically demanding work including lifting over 50 pounds. Candidates should be comfortable with responsibilities such as occupancy checks and participating in eviction lockouts when necessary. We also highly encourage multi-lingual skills and strong communication abilities to enhance resident interactions.

Inviting dedicated professionals who want to build a solid foundation in the property management industry, Invitation Homes offers an exceptional workplace culture, flexibility, and support for career advancement. Our associates enjoy generous paid time off, including vacation, sick, volunteer, and floating holidays, plus a robust 401k plan with company matching contributions. We cultivate an inclusive environment with employee resource groups that celebrate diversity and foster community within the company.

Join Invitation Homes and be part of a team that stands for opportunity, flexibility, and the chance to build a career. We support our associates as they unlock their potential and thrive professionally while contributing meaningfully to the homes and communities we serve.
