The role of Service Technician at Greystar is vital for maintaining the operational integrity and exceptional appearance of the company’s communities, specifically focusing on an active adult community environment. This position is responsible for performing both technical and mechanical maintenance duties to ensure the upkeep of buildings, grounds, amenities, and common areas, all maintained to Greystar’s high standards of cleanliness, safety, and functionality. The job mandates hands-on involvement in routine and preventative maintenance, repairs, and support to create a safe, welcoming, and vibrant atmosphere that enhances the lifestyle experience of residents.

A key part of the role includes responding promptly to maintenance requests by diagnosing issues, performing necessary repairs, and completing the make-ready process to prepare vacant units for new residents. This includes pre-move-out inspections, creating punch lists, scheduling vendors and contractors when necessary, and inspecting completed work to adhere to quality standards. Service Technicians also manage inventory effectively by tracking and ordering supplies responsibly while supporting company initiatives to control costs by repairing rather than replacing parts and avoiding waste.

Additional responsibilities involve maintaining the grounds and common areas through general cleaning, painting, and trash removal, as well as supporting the property’s safety and risk management programs. This includes attending safety meetings, completing OSHA training, reporting incidents accurately, inspecting contractor work, and conducting periodic property inspections. The role is physically demanding and requires the ability to work in various weather conditions, lift and carry heavy objects, and maintain a flexible work schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays. Licenses and certifications such as EPA certifications for refrigerant recycling and valid driver’s licenses for golf cart operation may be required depending on the property.

Greystar offers robust compensation packages for this role, including a $1,000 sign-on bonus and potential eligibility for various bonuses based on individual and company performance. The company also provides comprehensive benefits that contribute to employee well-being and work-life balance, including competitive medical, dental, vision, and disability insurance; generous paid time off; onsite housing discounts; paid sabbaticals; 401(k) plans with company matches; paid parental leave; fertility benefits; employee assistance programs; and other voluntary insurance plans. Greystar promotes an inclusive, equal opportunity work environment, embracing diversity and ensuring non-discrimination across all employment decisions. The company prioritizes safety and security in its hiring and interview processes, maintaining ethical and transparent communication standards at all times.
