The Maintenance Technician (Porter) role is a full-time position located in the San Pedro and Carson, CA areas. With a competitive hourly wage ranging between $26.00 and $27.00, the position involves overseeing two residential apartment communities: Pacific Arts (49 units) in San Pedro and Carson Arts (46 units) in Carson.

This position also entails conducting property and equipment inspections, implementing preventive maintenance programs, assisting with apartment turnovers and renovations, and supervising contracted projects to ensure compliance. Strong organizational skills are necessary to maintain maintenance records, handle supply inventories, and manage tools and equipment efficiently. The ideal candidate should be proficient in troubleshooting various mechanical and structural issues such as HVAC systems, plumbing, electrical problems, and carpentry.

WSH Management offers comprehensive benefits that include medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage, a 401(k) plan with employer matching, paid vacation, and 15 paid company holidays. On-call pay is provided for after-hours emergencies, and there are opportunities for career growth within the company.
