Building Maintenance Worker

**Building Maintenance Worker**

AR Webber Properties Limited is a property management company based in the South End of Halifax that specializes in renting apartments, homes and commercial spaces to people. We’re a small, informal business with about 100+ units across multiple buildings.

We are looking for someone to join our team to help us grow and evolve the way we do maintenance on our buildings & properties. If you thrive in a fast-paced, multi-faceted role where you can gain a lot of experience, knowledge and grow within the company, this job is for you

Experience in building maintenance is helpful, but above that - we are looking for someone who is motivated and ready to learn and take on day to day as well as larger maintenance projects.

**Responsibilities**:

- **Completion of Work Orders**: Any work order requests that come in from tenants that you can complete based on your skillset will need to be completed in an efficient and timely manner and up to the standards set by the company. You will also be required to provide assistance to other members of the maintenance team when needed.
- **Standard Building Maintenance & Repairs**: Work on your own or with the team (depending on the task) to fix, maintain, repair or update standard maintenance issues in buildings. This could range from plumbing (unclogging drains), lock changes, dry walling, painting, flooring, repairing of electrical outlets, fixing appliances, heating issues, etc.
- **Maintenance Project Renovations**:At times, there will be bigger projects like renovations - being able to work with the team to complete these projects will be a part of the job. For example, renovating an apartment with a new kitchen/new closet/new bathroom.
- **Cleaning, Upkeep & Trash Removal**:Part of the job will be to keep the buildings & properties clean throughout the year - this would include vacuuming, washing windows, collecting garbage. At times it will be required to do full-unit cleans when/if necessary.
