Job Description

Invitation Homes is a leading residential real estate company dedicated to providing high-quality single-family rental homes and exceptional living experiences for its residents. With a team of over 1,400 dedicated associates, Invitation Homes operates across multiple communities, ensuring that each home meets the highest standards of maintenance and customer satisfaction. The company fosters a culture of inclusivity, innovation, and opportunity, emphasizing flexibility and career growth for its employees. Invitation Homes is not just a workplace; it is a platform where careers thrive and potential is unlocked, making it a place where possibility lives.

As a Maintenance Technician at Invitation Homes, you will play a crucial role in maintaining the company’s portfolio of single-family rental homes. This position involves performing various maintenance tasks across multiple trades to ensure that homes are safe, functional, and appealing to current and prospective residents. The Maintenance Technician is responsible for completing service requests, conducting proactive maintenance visits (ProCare), and performing repairs in both occupied and vacant properties. Exceptional customer service is a cornerstone of this role, as you will interact directly with residents to educate them about maintenance topics and promote a quality living experience.

In addition to technical skills, this role requires strong interpersonal communication abilities and a proactive approach to identifying and resolving property issues. Technicians are expected to complete general property condition assessments during visits and collaborate closely with the property management team to address urgent matters. Familiarity with residential construction and mechanical systems—such as plumbing, electrical, carpentry, HVAC, and appliances—is highly valued, and some training will be provided to enhance your skills.

The company offers a competitive salary range of $19.11 to $33.13 per hour, with eligibility for an annual discretionary bonus based on individual performance. Invitation Homes values work-life balance and offers a supportive environment with casual dress and team events. As part of the benefits package, associates enjoy comprehensive health, dental, vision, and life insurance, along with long-term and short-term disability coverage. Generous paid time off, including vacation accrual, sick time, volunteer time, and holidays, further contributes to employee satisfaction. Additionally, the company provides a 401(k) plan with matching contributions to support financial growth and retirement planning.

Invitation Homes is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, fostering an environment where all associates can succeed regardless of background. The company also maintains a strict policy against accepting agency resumes to protect applicants and maintain transparency.

Join Invitation Homes as a Maintenance Technician and contribute to creating homes that residents love while building a fulfilling career in a company that values your skills and dedication.
