Job Description

Live Where You Work. Work Where You’re Valued.

Join the team at The Harrison , one of Raleigh’s most vibrant apartment communities! We’re looking for a hands-on, problem-solving Maintenance Technician who’s ready to bring energy, skill, and care to our residents’ daily experience — and in return, we offer free on-site housing as part of your compensation. That's right: your next home could be rent-free at the very property you help keep running smoothly.

What You'll Be Doing:

As our Maintenance Technician, you'll be the go-to hero for anything that needs fixing, upgrading, or improving. No two days are the same — one day it’s fixing a leaky faucet, the next it’s replacing an AC unit or painting a freshly turned apartment. You’ll work closely with our friendly property management team to ensure that every resident at The Harrison feels safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. You’ll also assist in maintaining our community pool, so CPO certification is preferred (or willingness to obtain).

Your Day-to-Day Will Include:

• Responding quickly and professionally to maintenance requests from residents.
• Tackling repairs in plumbing, HVAC, electrical, appliances, and more.
• Prepping vacant units to be move-in ready (painting, touch-ups, cleaning).
• Maintaining the property’s pool in compliance with safety and health standards.
• Keeping the property looking great — inside and out.
• Performing routine inspections and preventative maintenance.
• Participating in the on-call rotation for after-hours emergencies.
• Working with outside vendors and service techs when needed.

What You Bring to the Table:

• 2+ years of maintenance or handyman experience (residential preferred).
• Skills in plumbing, HVAC, electrical, carpentry, and general repairs.
• A passion for solving problems and helping people.
• Ability to stay organized, work independently, and communicate clearly.
• Willingness to be part of a rotating on-call schedule.
• CPO (Certified Pool Operator) certification preferred — or willingness to get certified.
• HVAC and EPA certifications are a plus (but not required).

Perks & Benefits:

• Free On-Site Housing — Live where you work, rent-free!
• Competitive hourly pay based on experience
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid holidays and vacation time
• A supportive team that values your work and growth
• Opportunity to work in one of Raleigh’s top apartment communities

Ready to Make The Harrison Your Home?

• We’re excited to meet skilled technicians who want more than just a job — they want to be part of a community. If you love fixing things, enjoy variety in your work, and want to live where you make an impact, apply now and come be part of something special.
