Maintenance Technician
Arnot Realty is looking for an experienced Maintenance Technician based in Ithaca, NY to help care for our local portfolio of multi-family, commercial, and retail properties. You’ll tackle a wide variety of hands-on work across our properties – from responding to tenant work orders and completing preventative maintenance to completing turnovers and handling repairs big and small. In this role, you'll keep everything running at its best – handling plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, and more – with the stability and support to do your best every day.
 
What You'll Love About This Job
  • No two days look the same: Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry – each day puts a different skill to use.
  • Craftsmanship matters here: We care about doing it right, not just doing it fast.
  • Work you can be proud of: No corner-cutting here – just solid work you can stand behind.
  • You’ll be a familiar, trusted face: Tenants recognize who shows up and gets it right.
What You'll Do
  • Property Caretaker: Keep the building humming – service calls, unit turnovers, and preventative maintenance so nothing breaks down on your watch.
  • Master of All Trades: Channel your inner handyman – carpentry, paint, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, you name it.
  • Curb Appeal: Keep the outside looking as good as the inside – siding, doors, windows, and the occasional assistance with landscaping work.
  • Safety First, Always: Treat every tool and task with respect – because a safe property is a happy property.
  • On-Call & Emergency Support: Participate in a shared on-call rotation for after-hours emergencies and weather-related issues; compensated for your after-hours heroics.
  • Friendly Face: Bring a positive attitude and a friendly face to every interaction with customers and colleagues.
  • All-In Team Player: Wear multiple hats, jump in where needed, and help us keep growing. 
  • Your Input Matters: Have an idea to make the property better? We want to hear it. 
What You Bring
  • Been There, Fixed That: At least 2 years in property maintenance or similar fields (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, etc.).
  • Right Tool for the Right Job: Ability to use hand/power tools and skill in operating the necessary equipment.
  • Mechanically Minded: Ability to understand complex systems, problem solve on the fly and follow troubleshooting guidelines.
  • Ready to Roll: A valid driver’s license, a clean driving record, and reliable transportation.
You Should Be Able To
  • Lift & Carry: Frequently lift, move, or carry items weighing 50+ pounds.
  • Maneuver Properties: Move about properties often including ascending/descending of stairs and ladders.
  • Be Flexible & Mobile: Bend, squat, kneel, twist, and walk for periods of time while inspecting/addressing properties or equipment.
  • Operate Devices: Frequently operate electronic devices for communication and task management.
  • Exchange Information: Communicate with tenants, vendors, and colleagues to exchange accurate information.
  • Inspect Projects: Observe, inspect, and assess maintenance projects which include travel to and from property locations on a regular basis.
The Perks
  • Stability You Can Rely On: Embrace the security of a full-time position that provides a strong foundation for your professional journey.
  • Competitive Compensation: Your experience is valued, and we offer competitive compensation with eligibility for performance bonuses. The salary range is $20.00 to $24.00 per hour, reflecting our commitment to recognizing and rewarding your contributions.
  • All the Extras:
    • ​Recharge & Relax: Enjoy a generous package of paid time off and 10 paid holidays, allowing you to recharge and spend quality time with loved ones.
    • Covered from Head to Toe: Access health, dental, and vision insurance right from the start, prioritizing your overall well-being. We offer a 100% employer-paid health insurance option for employees.
    • Set for the Future: Plan for the future with confidence through our 401k plan, complete with an employer match of up to 6% after 1 year of employment. Additionally, rest easy with our company-paid life insurance policy.
