The Service Technician position at Greystar is a vital role that involves performing technical and mechanical work to ensure the physical integrity and aesthetic appeal of residential properties meet the company’s high standards. This role is crucial for maintaining buildings, grounds, amenities, and common areas, ensuring cleanliness, safety, and overall functionality for residents and visitors alike.

Occasional responsibilities may include inspecting contracted work to verify compliance with quality standards and conducting property inspections to identify maintenance needs.
