Apartment Maintenance technician

Description

PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING

We are looking specifically for experienced apartment maintenance technicians with HVAC experience and a current EPA 608 Type II or Universal certification.

If you do not have HVAC experience and an EPA 608 Type II or Universal certification, please do not apply to this ad.

We are a staffing company that works specifically with apartment communities throughout the Phoenix metro area.

We are not a general labor staffing agency, and we do not send people to warehouses, construction sites, or random jobs. We have been staffing the multifamily industry for over 30 years. Apartment communities call us when they need experienced maintenance help, and we send qualified technicians to work directly onsite at those communities.

If you are not interested in working through a staffing company, this probably isn’t the right opportunity for you.

This is not an entry-level HVAC position.

You need at least 2 years of hands-on apartment maintenance or strong residential maintenance experience. You should already be comfortable diagnosing HVAC problems, completing common HVAC repairs, handling apartment turns, and completing work orders without needing someone to train you on the basics.

You should have experience with:

  • Diagnosing air-conditioning problems
  • Troubleshooting systems that are not cooling properly
  • Checking refrigerant pressures
  • Identifying refrigerant leaks
  • Recovering and charging refrigerant
  • Replacing capacitors, contactors, motors, thermostats, and other common HVAC components
  • Troubleshooting electrical issues within HVAC systems
  • Cleaning coils and completing preventative maintenance
  • Diagnosing problems before replacing parts
  • Completing apartment turns and make-readies
  • Handling general apartment maintenance work orders
You must have:

  • Current EPA 608 Type II or Universal certification
  • Hands-on HVAC troubleshooting and repair experience
  • At least 2 years of apartment or strong residential maintenance experience
  • Your own basic maintenance tools, HVAC tools, and drill or impact driver
  • Reliable transportation
  • Valid driver’s license
  • Working phone and reliable communication
  • Clean criminal background
  • Ability to pass a drug test
  • Reliable attendance
EPA 608 Type I certification by itself does not qualify you for these positions. You must have Type II or Universal certification.

Pool certification is helpful but not required for every assignment.

Pay: $25-$27 per hour

Most schedules are Monday through Friday, typically 7–4 or 8–5. Some positions may require on-call work or overtime.

We have temporary, long-term temporary, temp-to-hire, and emergency fill-in opportunities.

Understand how our assignments work before applying:

Our jobs are at apartment communities throughout the Valley. We do not control where the openings are. Properties contact us when they need help, so the more flexible you are with your commute, the more opportunities we can offer you.

When a property requests an HVAC-certified technician, it is usually because they need someone who can walk onsite and start diagnosing and completing repairs. They may be short staffed, behind on HVAC work orders, behind on turns, or dealing with multiple air-conditioning issues.

You need to be comfortable walking into a busy environment, communicating with the onsite team, diagnosing the problem, and getting to work.

Some assignments are temp-to-hire, but being sent to a temp-to-hire position does not guarantee that you will be hired.

Think of it as a working interview.

You aren’t sitting in an office telling the property what you can do. You’re showing them.

Show up. Communicate. Take initiative. Diagnose the problem correctly. Do good work. If you finish something, ask what’s next.

The properties are looking for HVAC technicians they can depend on and potentially keep long term.

If you accept an assignment, we expect you to show up. We understand that life happens, but repeated call-outs, last-minute cancellations, or poor communication will affect whether we contact you for future assignments.

On the other side of that, if you show up, know what you’re doing, and we receive good feedback from the property, we will work hard to keep you working when assignments end.

Our process is simple:

Send us your resume or a detailed description of your apartment maintenance and HVAC experience.

We’ll complete a phone screening, verify your certification, run the required background process, and get qualified technicians in front of properties quickly.

No unnecessary trip across town just to sit in our office for an interview. You prove yourself by doing the w
