Maintenance Technician Performance Profile
Mission For This Role:
o The Maintenance Technician position with WPD management serves as one of the most essential roles assisting WPD in achieving, meeting, and exceeding high expectations in becoming the top property management company of choice in the South Side of Chicago. Here at WPD, we are committed to providing the highest level of management and maintenance services to both our residents and clients.

This specific maintenance position deals primarily with inspections for the Chicago Housing Authority and the other various subsidies that WPD works with. The subsidized inspection process is a tedious one that demands a high attention to detail, even the smallest mistake could prove costly. Face to face inspections also require an employee who’s capable of taking charge of a situation and direction the flow of conversation. Those two character traits are necessary for a tech to have success in this role.

o After the 6 months the maintenance tech will be challenged to perform specific maintenance projects such as various inspections and walk throughs while meeting certain goals in the CHA maintenance departments.
· First initial inspection pass percentage – 65% or higher
· Re-inspection pass percentage – 70% or higher
o Additionally, the maintenance tech will be assigned to other maintenance responsibilities not centered towards their specific skill sets in order to expand their trade skills and become more versatile and more valuable to the maintenance department and the company.
Important Personal Competencies:
o Organized, the maintenance technician must be able to schedule and complete multiple work order tasks in a timely manner such as general maintenance, plumbing and electrical, provide great customer service skills, work independently, communicative effectively and constantly improve problem solving skills.
