Subcontracted Maintenance Technician / Handyman
JDN Property Management Inc. is looking for someone to start immediately.

We are a mid-to-large-sized property management company looking for an experienced subcontracted Maintenance Technician / Handyman or Handywoman to join our maintenance team.

This is ongoing work , not occasional call-out work. Depending on your availability, abilities, and performance, there is the potential for 40+ hours of work per week .

You will work alongside other JDN-contracted maintenance technicians. Work orders are dispatched based on each technician's skills, experience, location, and availability .

What We Are Looking For
We are specifically looking for someone who can handle a wide variety of repairs .

Many of our work orders involve several items at one property. We want someone who can arrive with a repair list, assess what is required, obtain the necessary materials, complete as much of the work as possible, and bring the job through to completion rather than leaving loose ends .

We are not looking for someone who needs to be continually supervised or reminded about assigned work. Our technicians are expected to take ownership of their work orders, communicate when there is an issue, and see assigned repairs through to completion.

Reliability, communication, and accountability are extremely important to us.

How Our Work Is Managed

Work orders are dispatched electronically by email/text through our property management system.

Technicians are expected to review their assigned work and communicate promptly if there are questions or delays.

Before-and-after photos are required for appropriate repairs.

Clear completion notes must be provided so our office knows exactly what was repaired.

If something cannot be completed,



we expect a clear explanation of what remains outstanding and what is required to finish it.

Technicians may communicate directly with tenants when coordinating access and must remain professional and respectful while representing JDN.

Invoices must be submitted for completed work.

Material receipts and supporting documentation must be provided when materials are being billed back.

Emergency On-Call Rotation
Technicians are required to participate in an approximately two-week emergency on-call rotation .

Higher rates apply to after-hours emergency calls.

Typical emergency work may include:

Water leaks and flooding

Sewer backups

No-heat situations

Securing doors/windows

Electrical issues within the technician's qualifications

Initial emergency response before a plumber or other specialized contractor arrives

Other urgent property-related situations

After-Hours Call-Out Rates
6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

$55 call-out fee , which includes the first hour.

The full $55 is paid even if the repair only takes 20 minutes.

$25/hour beginning with the second hour and for consecutive hours.

Rates increase for:

9:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m.

12:00 a.m. – 6:00 a.m.

Additional emergency rates will be discussed during the interview.

Depending on the type of work being completed, an productive technician can complete approximately 7–10 service calls per day ,



creating the potential to earn approximately $350–$500 per day .

Annual High-Demand Periods
Because of our rental turnover schedule, technicians joining our team must make themselves available during our two busiest periods each year:
