Uptown Rental Properties is looking for an experienced Lead Projects Technician who combines strong technical skills with sound judgment, problem-solving ability, and a willingness to help others succeed.

This is a hands-on role for someone who knows building maintenance, can troubleshoot complex issues, and takes pride in finding the right solution, not just the quickest fix.

You’ll work across Uptown’s properties handling repairs and projects, stepping into more challenging maintenance issues, supporting other technicians, and partnering with the Facilities Operations Manager to keep work moving efficiently.

What You'll Do

• Complete maintenance, repair, and improvement projects across Uptown properties
• Diagnose and troubleshoot HVAC, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, building systems, and general maintenance issues

• Take the lead on more complex, escalated, or difficult service issues
• Help prioritize maintenance needs and keep projects moving
• Serve as a technical resource and sounding board for other maintenance technicians
• Support and guide less-experienced team members when they need help troubleshooting an issue
• Conduct property visits and identify maintenance concerns before they become larger problems
• Coordinate with vendors and contractors when specialized outside support is needed
• Help ensure work orders, purchases, receipts, labor hours, and maintenance documentation stay accurate and organized
• Communicate professionally with residents, property teams, vendors, and coworkers
• Participate in a scheduled after-hours on-call rotation

What We're Looking For

You may be a great fit if you:

• Have strong hands-on experience in property maintenance, facilities maintenance, construction, remodeling, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or related skilled trades
• Are confident troubleshooting problems independently and know when additional expertise is needed
• Have broad knowledge of building systems and repairs
• Can manage multiple priorities without losing attention to detail
• Take ownership of problems and follow them through to resolution
• Take pride in quality workmanship and doing the job right the first time
• Communicate clearly and professionally with residents, coworkers, managers, and vendors
• Are dependable, organized, and comfortable working independently in the field
• Enjoy helping other technicians work through problems and build their skills
• Are comfortable stepping up and taking the lead when the situation calls for it

Pay & Perks

• $28-32/hour, based on experience, technical ability, and level of responsibility 
• Monday - Friday Schedule
• On-call bonus pay
• Paid training and career growth opportunities
• Company-provided tools, uniforms, work phone, and vehicle as applicable
• Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance
