Markham, Ontario, Canada Wigwamen Incorporated Full time

Maintenance Assistant

Full-time, salaried position with benefits

Wigwamen Incorporated is a long-established non-profit housing provider that has supported Indigenous and urban communities across Toronto since 1972. We are looking for a reliable, self-motivated Maintenance Assistant who takes pride in quality work and wants a stable role where their skills make a real difference in people's homes.

This position works across a diverse portfolio of small-scale residential properties—including single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, and low-rise multi-unit buildings—located throughout Toronto. No two days are the same, and you'll have the opportunity to work independently while being supported by an experienced management team.

About the role

Reporting to the Director of Maintenance and the CEO, the Maintenance Assistant is responsible for delivering timely, tenant-focused maintenance services, including unit turnovers, service requests, and emergency response. Participation in a scheduled after-hours emergency rotation is required.

Key responsibilities

  • Complete tenant-related maintenance services efficiently and professionally
  • Assess and respond to maintenance emergencies in accordance with established procedures
  • Perform general maintenance and repairs, including minor electrical and plumbing work, drywall repair, painting, carpentry, and related tasks
  • Inspect units, prepare repair specifications, and coordinate follow-up with contractors as required
  • Maintain accurate maintenance records in line with company policies
  • Identify and report recurring maintenance issues and contribute to long-term solutions
  • Help ensure all properties are maintained in a safe, functional, and well-kept condition

What you bring

  • At least three years of hands-on experience in building or residential maintenance
  • A diploma, degree, or licensed trade in a related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Working knowledge of building systems, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, and fire safety
  • A valid G driver's licence, clean driving record, and access to a vehicle for work purposes
  • Comfort using basic computer tools, including Microsoft Office
  • Strong communication skills and a respectful, tenant-focused approach
  • The ability to work independently, manage priorities, and follow through on tasks
  • Physical ability to lift up to 25 pounds and safely use an 8-foot step ladder
  • Willingness to pursue ongoing training and professional development
  • A clean criminal record check

Assets (but not required):

  • Familiarity with the Residential Tenancies Act, Ontario Building Code, and/or Fire Code

Why work with Wigwamen

  • Stable, full-time salaried position
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Meaningful work supporting affordable housing
  • A supportive, mission-driven organization with long-term roots in the community
