Maintenance Technician - Handyman

Are you looking for a fun and challenging job that keeps you on the go?

CHICAGOLAND HANDYMAN OPPORTUNITIES!

Attention Handymen & Maintenance Techs - consider these three questions:

• Do you enjoy tackling different tasks every day?
• Do you embrace our core value: "GSD"?
• Are you looking for a stable, growing team in Residential Property Management?

If you answered YES to all three, you might be exactly who we're looking for!

We don't do "just OK." We fix it right the first time, communicate clearly, and always look for ways to improve. If that sounds like you, keep reading.
