Turn Vacant Apartments Into Someone’s Next Home.

We’re looking for an experienced and dependable Make Ready professional to join the maintenance team at One90 Firewheel.

Your work directly impacts how quickly we can welcome a new resident home.

You’ll inspect vacant apartments, complete repairs, perform touch-up work, address maintenance issues, and make sure each home meets our standards before the next resident receives their keys.

If you take pride in your work, know your way around apartment repairs, and like seeing the finished result of a job done right, we’d love to meet you.

About the Opportunity

As Make Ready, your primary focus will be preparing vacant apartment homes for future residents.

You’ll work from make-ready and punch lists, complete general repairs, support preventive maintenance, and partner closely with property management, maintenance, and leasing teams to keep apartment turns moving on schedule.

This role is important to both the resident experience and the financial performance of the community. Every day a home sits unfinished is a day it can’t be leased.

We’re looking for someone who understands the importance of both quality and turnaround time.

What You’ll Own

• Inspect vacant apartment homes and complete assigned make-ready or punch-list items
• Prepare apartments for move-in according to established community standards and timelines
• Complete general maintenance and repairs throughout vacant apartments
• Perform drywall and sheetrock repairs
• Complete touch-up painting and minor surface repairs
• Repair or replace caulking around sinks, tubs, showers, windows, and other areas
• Assist with flooring, tile, carpet, and vinyl repairs as needed
• Complete minor plumbing, electrical, appliance, hardware, and fixture repairs within the scope of the role
• Replace light bulbs, switches, fixtures, hardware, locks, and other apartment components when assigned
• Inspect completed work to ensure apartments are clean, safe, functional, and ready for occupancy
• Complete required make-ready checklists and maintenance documentation
• Communicate additional repair needs or larger maintenance concerns to the maintenance leader
• Support occupied-unit work orders and preventive maintenance when needed
• Assist with exterior maintenance, common areas, amenities, grounds, and community projects
• Help maintain pools, hot tubs, dog parks, recreation areas, or other amenities when assigned
• Assist with trash-outs of vacated apartments
• Maintain tools, supplies, and equipment responsibly
• Follow all company safety, maintenance, and risk-management procedures
• Provide professional and courteous service when interacting with residents, prospects, and team members

What Success Looks Like

• Vacant apartments are completed within expected turn timelines
• New residents enter homes that are clean, functional, and ready for move-in
• Make-ready checklists are completed accurately
• Repairs are performed correctly the first time
• Maintenance leadership receives early communication about larger repair needs
• Tools, materials, and supplies are used responsibly
• The leasing team has an adequate supply of market-ready apartments
• Community appearance and maintenance standards are consistently supported

Who This Role Is For

• Someone who enjoys working with their hands
• A maintenance professional who takes pride in seeing a finished product
• Someone who can work independently and stay on schedule
• A person who notices the details a new resident will notice
• A dependable team member who understands how apartment turns affect leasing and occupancy
• Someone willing to help beyond the vacant unit when the maintenance team needs support

Qualifications

• High School Diploma or GED preferred
• Minimum 1 year of apartment, property, facilities, or comparable maintenance experience preferred
• Previous multifamily make-ready or apartment-turn experience strongly preferred
• Experience with general maintenance and basic repairs
• Experience with painting, drywall, caulking, flooring, fixtures, and basic apartment repairs preferred
• Basic plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or appliance-repair knowledge is a plus
• Ability to follow make-ready checklists and meet established deadlines
• Strong attention to detail
• Dependable attendance and strong work ethic
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a maintenance team
• Ability to safely perform the physical requirements associated with apartment maintenance
• Ability to work indoors and outdoors in varying weather conditions

Community-Specific Requirements

What Sets You Apart

• You walk into a vacant apartment and immediately see what needs attention
• You care about both speed and quality
• You’d rather fix something correctly than create another work order later
• You know how to keep multiple turns organized
• You take care of your tools and materials
• You communicate when you find a problem outside your scope
• You take pride in knowing a resident is about to call your finished work home

Why This Role

Make Ready is one of the most visible maintenance roles in multifamily.
