About the Role

As a Maintenance Technician, you are the backbone of our community's daily operations.

  • Coordinate with the Maintenance Supervisor on daily assignments, work order priorities, and any outstanding maintenance concerns
  • Support pool maintenance by logging and maintaining chemical levels in accordance with local code

  • Track and report supply and equipment needs to the Maintenance Supervisor promptly
  • Provide on-call coverage during non-business hours on a rotating basis
  • Support move-in and move-out operations, including vendor coordination and unit punch during turn season

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026
Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
