Job Description

We are currently seeking a full-time Maintenance Technician (Maintenance I) to join our team, specifically focused on working with seniors. Previous experience in maintenance is preferred. The ideal candidate will maintain and enhance the value of the apartment community, in a timely, professional and courteous manner.

Providence Community Housing is a 501(c)3 nonprofit affordable housing developer and property manager serving the Greater New Orleans area. With almost 20 years of development experience and over 1,700 residential units developed to date, Providence has taken over the property management functions of Christopher Homes, Inc. and is proud to add their 60-year history of excellence to our team managing over 2,400 senior affordable apartments. We focus on the production and preservation of affordable housing and empowering strong communities.

A typical day in the life of a Maintenance Technician working with seniors involves overseeing both resident apartments and property maintenance needs.

We're looking for a candidate who :

Has a passion for working with seniors and creating a positive, supportive environment

Is organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple tasks

Demonstrates strong communication and interpersonal skills

Is comfortable using computers and property management software

Is reliable, adaptable, and ready to handle occasional on-call responsibilities

This is a full-time position, typically Monday through Friday, with occasional on-call responsibilities for emergencies. While most of your workdays will be during regular business hours, there may be times when you'll need to respond to urgent situations outside of these hours to ensure the safety and well-being of our residents. Flexibility and responsiveness are key to this role.

If you're passionate about working with seniors and believe you have the skills for this role, we'd love to hear from you! To get started, simply fill out our online application.
