Job description
Maintenance Technician — Pilots Pointe
Location: Shreveport, Louisiana
Compensation: $21.00–$24.00 per hour, based on experience and certifications
Schedule: Full-Time | Onsite | On-Call Rotation
The Opportunity
At a student housing community, maintenance has a direct impact on the resident experience. When an air conditioner stops working, an appliance fails, or an apartment is not ready for move-in, residents do not care which department owns the problem. They care that someone responds, communicates, and gets it fixed.
Pilots Pointe is looking for a dependable Maintenance Technician who takes ownership of their work and understands that a completed work order is not enough—the repair needs to be done correctly.
This is a hands-on position for someone who enjoys troubleshooting, working independently, and seeing the results of a productive day. You will handle apartment repairs, preventative maintenance, property inspections, and unit turns while helping the maintenance team keep the community safe, functional, and ready for residents.
What You’ll Be Doing
Complete resident service requests accurately and within established timeframes
Troubleshoot and repair plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliances, carpentry, drywall, and other apartment maintenance issues
Communicate professionally with residents regarding repairs, access, and follow-up
Perform preventative maintenance throughout apartments, common areas, and building systems
Inspect apartments and community areas for maintenance concerns or safety hazards
Prepare vacant apartments for incoming residents, including repairs, replacements, and final inspections
Assist with high-volume unit turns and move-in preparation during the student housing turn season
Maintain community amenities, offices, hallways, grounds, and other shared spaces
Respond to emergency maintenance calls as part of the on-call rotation
Document completed work, materials used, and follow-up needs in the property-management system
Maintain tools, equipment, supplies, and maintenance areas in an organized and safe condition
Follow company safety procedures and applicable environmental requirements
Support the Maintenance Supervisor and onsite team with inspections, projects, and other community needs
What Success Looks Like
You will be successful in this role when:
Residents receive timely and professional communication
Repairs are completed correctly instead of temporarily patched
Work orders are documented and closed without unnecessary delays
Vacant apartments are ready for move-in on schedule
Preventative maintenance is completed before equipment fails
Tools, parts, and maintenance areas remain organized
You recognize when a problem requires additional support and communicate it early
The team can depend on you during busy periods, on-call emergencies, and student turn
What We’re Looking For
Previous apartment, residential, commercial, hotel, or facilities maintenance experience
Hands-on experience with plumbing, electrical, appliances, carpentry, drywall, and general repairs
HVAC troubleshooting experience strongly preferred
EPA 608 certification preferred
CPO certification preferred
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
Ability to work independently while remaining accountable to the maintenance team
Professional communication and customer-service skills
Dependable attendance and willingness to participate in the on-call rotation
Ability to manage multiple work orders and changing priorities
Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
Ability to perform the physical requirements of the position, including walking the property, climbing stairs, bending, kneeling, and lifting maintenance equipment and materials
Availability to work additional hours, weekends, or adjusted schedules during student turn and other high-demand periods
This Role May Be a Fit If
You take pride in fixing something correctly the first time
You can troubleshoot a problem instead of immediately replacing parts
You understand that entering a resident’s apartment requires professionalism and respect
You stay productive without someone having to constantly direct your next task
You can handle a busy work-order queue without sacrificing quality
You are willing to help outside your normal routine when the property needs it
You understand that student housing turn is demanding, fast-paced, and a full-team effort
