8:00 AM
I begin my day with a quick check-in with my maintenance supervisor and team. We review outstanding service requests, overnight emergencies, scheduled move-ins, make-ready deadlines, and daily priorities. We also discuss any safety concerns, special projects, or supplies needed to complete our work.
I then walk my assigned areas to help ensure our property is clean, safe, and welcoming. I pick up trash, check amenities and common areas, inspect walkways, and identify maintenance concerns. I also address minor issues when possible and promptly report safety hazards or larger repairs to my maintenance supervisor.

9:00 AM
Around this time, our leasing office is opening. I join my team for a quick huddle led by the property manager and maintenance supervisor, and provide updates on any service requests, make-ready homes, projects, or tool and supply needs. If it’s time for the monthly safety meeting, my maintenance supervisor will deliver a presentation. After the huddle, I begin working on assigned service requests, prioritizing urgent repairs and resident needs. These requests may be related to plumbing, appliances, electrical troubleshooting within my training and authorization, HVAC maintenance, or general repairs. I communicate professionally with residents, follow safety procedures, and update work orders as I complete each task.
10:30 AM
I start working on my assigned projects and service requests. Depending on property priorities, I may prepare vacant apartments for incoming residents. This can include repairing the fixtures, testing appliances, replacing filters, completing minor repairs, and ensuring the apartment meets our property's readiness standards. I coordinate with my maintenance supervisor when I need additional materials or specialized services.
12:00 PM
I take my scheduled lunch break and recharge for the afternoon.
1:00 PM
No two days are exactly alike! I continue with my assigned work orders or assist with preventative maintenance to help reduce future repairs. Depending on the schedule, I may inspect equipment, check lighting, replace filters, assist with move-out inspections, or support other property maintenance projects. I also complete assigned AvenueU and safety courses during scheduled training time.
I may receive an urgent service request, assist an associate, respond to a resident concern, or return to an apartment make-ready. I stay flexible, communicate with my maintenance supervisor, and focus on completing quality work safely and efficiently.

4:30 PM
I update my work orders, document completed repairs, and communicate any outstanding needs or follow-up items to my maintenance supervisor. I return tools and equipment to their designated locations, organize my workspace, and ensure the maintenance shop is clean and secure. If I am assigned after-hours emergency coverage, I confirm the handoff process. When I am assigned for after-hours coverage, I may need to respond to situations including water leaks, HVAC failures, or other urgent concerns.
5:00 PM
I finish my scheduled shift and clock out, knowing that my work helped maintain a safe, comfortable, and welcoming property for our residents.
