The Service Technician role at Greystar encompasses a vital function focused on maintaining the physical aspects of the company’s residential properties. This position involves performing technical and mechanical tasks to ensure that buildings, grounds, amenities, and common areas align with Greystar's high standards for cleanliness, appearance, safety, and overall operational functionality. The technician is responsible for completing maintenance work orders derived from resident service requests, as well as scheduled preventative maintenance programs, diagnosing and repairing defects while adhering to all relevant safety regulations and company policies. A key duty includes the "make-ready" process for preparing vacant apartments for new residents, which involves pre-move-out inspections, compiling maintenance checklists, coordinating vendors, and ensuring timely completion and inspection of maintenance tasks.

Additional responsibilities for the Service Technician include managing inventory and supplies efficiently by tracking usage and notifying supervisors of restocking needs, assisting with upkeep of outdoor common areas through cleaning, painting, and pressure washing, and supporting cost-effective maintenance practices by repairing rather than replacing parts when feasible. The role emphasizes safety compliance by requiring participation in routine safety meetings, mandatory training in OSHA standards, and prompt incident reporting. Service Technicians may also inspect work performed by contractors to verify quality and adherence to specifications, contribute to routine property inspections to identify safety hazards or repair needs, and adapt to flexible working schedules, including evening, weekend, and holiday call duties.

Physically, the position demands stamina and mobility to stand, walk, sit, bend, stoop, climb ladders, and navigate confined spaces. It also requires the ability to handle, push, pull, and carry weights up to 25 pounds independently, or up to 50 pounds with assistance, while working in various weather conditions. Occasional travel may be necessary to support operations at other properties or attend training sessions. Candidates must hold valid certifications required by state and local authorities and may need a valid driver’s license to operate golf carts on larger properties. This full-time position offers an hourly wage range of $17.00 to $20.00 and eligibility for bonus programs based on individual and company performance.

Greystar offers comprehensive benefits that promote employee well-being and work-life balance. These include competitive medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans, generous paid time off starting at 15 vacation days plus personal, sick days, and paid holidays, onsite housing discounts at company-managed communities, a 6-week paid sabbatical after ten years of service, a 401(k) retirement plan with company match, paid parental leave and fertility benefit reimbursement, an employee assistance program, and additional voluntary benefits like pet insurance and legal plans. The company prioritizes a safe and inclusive work environment and complies with employment fairness policies, welcoming applicants with diverse backgrounds. Overall, the Service Technician position at Greystar provides an excellent opportunity to join a world-class real estate leader and contribute to maintaining the quality and safety of premier residential living spaces.
