POAH Communities is currently seeking a highly qualified individual to join our team as a Maintenance Technician. This role is based at Country Club Village in Springfield, Missouri, a vibrant city with a population of approximately 152,000 located in the southwestern corner of the state. Country Club Village consists of two adjacent properties developed in separate phases and was among the fourteen properties acquired by POAH in Missouri in 2001. As a Maintenance Technician, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the safety, security, and comfort of our residents, visitors, and staff by maintaining the property to the highest standards.

In this position, you will be responsible for various maintenance duties, including routine preventive maintenance, diagnosing and repairing minor issues, and coordinating make-ready repairs. Your work will help preserve the quality and functionality of apartment units and common areas, contributing to a safe and pleasant living environment for the community. The role requires a hands-on approach and a dynamic leadership style, along with a thorough understanding of federal and state regulations such as EPA and OSHA standards. You will take pride in monitoring the condition of the property, addressing any unsafe conditions promptly, and supporting the groundskeeping efforts to maintain clean and orderly outdoor spaces.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in apartment maintenance and demonstrate versatility in using various tools and equipment safely and efficiently. This role demands physical stamina to perform tasks that include bending, kneeling, climbing, lifting, and working under different weather conditions. Flexibility is also critical, as the position may involve weekend schedules and on-call responsibilities.
