Prism is looking for a Maintenance Technician like YOU if you…

Love to Solve Problems and Make Things Work – Your favorite toy as a kid was probably a Rubik’s cube. Something about getting your hands on a tangible object, taking it apart, understanding it, and putting it back together is exhilarating for you. Now, you get to use that curiosity and thirst for knowledge to ensure a family has a working AC in the summertime, an elderly couple has heat in the winter, or a single parent has running water. It’s an awesome responsibility that you don’t take lightly.
Communicate Well with Residents and Office Staff – You know that step one to being a great communicator is being a GREAT LISTENER!!! You listen to understand rather than respond and make sure you understand before making decisions. Not only are you reachable and keep people in the loop, but convey messages and information with clarity and respect regardless of the situation. You know that the property is a close-knit community that thrives off of open and honest communication.
Take Pride in a Job Well Done – You know your stuff and are not afraid to show it. The comfort and safety of your communities’ residents rely on you, and you don’t take that lightly. People know that when you come to fix an issue, you will get it right the first time, and their day and life and family will be better off. Pride in your work and confidence in your ability are your superpowers.
Embody Dependability – The team learns fast that you can be trusted and that they can rely on your constant presence, consistent desire to improve, and genuine care for the wellbeing of the residents. Though not afraid to ask for help when needed and grateful for the Prism family that has your back, you are self-motivated and don’t have to be convinced to be present and do your best. Residents and staff can always reach you and know that when you touch it, it is going to work.
Take Ownership of the Property – While you respect the leadership of the Property Manager, you take just as much ownership in the community as you would if it were your own. You look out for the little things that make a property a home: picking up trash on the sidewalk, fixing chipped paint on the stairwells, and noticing when bushes and trees need to be trimmed.
