Our Maintenance Team is a core part of that success—keeping homes, condos, and resort properties running smoothly, safe, and guest-ready at all times.

Role Overview

We're seeking a skilled, reliable, and detail-oriented Maintenance Technician to join our growing operations team.

In this role, you'll perform repairs, preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, and inspections across a portfolio of vacation rental units. You'll work closely with housekeeping, property managers, and operations leadership to ensure every property meets Panhandle Getaways' quality standards.

If you enjoy fixing things, solving problems on the fly, and working in a fast-paced environment where no two days look the same—you'll fit right in.

What You'll Do

• Perform general repairs, troubleshooting, and maintenance for condos, homes, and office spaces.

• Complete monthly HVAC preventative maintenance and ensure systems operate efficiently.

• Respond to maintenance requests quickly—diagnose issues, complete repairs, and communicate status.

• Create, update, and close work orders in our systems, documenting parts used and work completed.

• Collaborate with housekeeping and property managers to ensure units are guest-ready before arrivals.

• Assist with minor plumbing, electrical, appliance repair, painting, and carpentry as needed.

• Conduct periodic property inspections and address safety or maintenance concerns.

• Work both indoors and outdoors—sometimes in Florida heat (pack sunscreen!).

• Maintain a clean, organized work environment and company vehicle.

• Experience using maintenance software such as Breezeway is a plus.

• Excellent time management and follow-through—able to handle multiple tasks daily.

• Strong communication skills (text, phone, app-based updates).

• Valid driver's license and clean driving record (last 3 years).

• High school diploma or equivalent required.

• Ability to lift 50 lbs, climb stairs and ladders, bend, kneel, and work on feet for extended periods.

• Ability to work weekends, holidays, and overtime as needed—vacation rentals are busiest when others are on vacation.

What's Great About Working with Us

• Competitive hourly pay: $20–$24/hr

• Consistent full-time schedule (40–50 hours weekly)

• Health, dental, and vision insurance

• Generous 401(k) match
