Overview  

John Boner Neighborhood Centers (JBNC) is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Maintenance Technician III to lead advanced residential maintenance projects and complex repairs across our properties. This senior-level technician works independently to troubleshoot and resolve challenging issues in plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliances, construction, and exterior systems. While primarily focused on residential properties, the Maintenance Technician III may also support commercial facilities as needed. In addition to performing high-level technical work, this role serves as a mentor for junior technicians, helping them grow their skills and advance within the organization.

A Day in the Life  

A typical day for the Maintenance Technician III could involve diagnosing a failing water heater, performing a complex electrical repair, or managing a large-scale unit rehab. You may inspect units after move-outs, lead emergency responses for leaks or other urgent repairs, and coordinate with contractors when specialized expertise is required. In between hands-on work, you’ll support and guide Maintenance Technician I and II staff, providing coaching, troubleshooting advice, and best practices to help them build technical proficiency. You’ll manage materials, document work orders, and track preventative maintenance schedules to ensure all residential units remain safe, functional, and well-maintained. Flexibility is key, as on-call responsibilities may require evening, weekend, or after-hours response to emergencies.
