Facilities Technician

Facilities Technician 

Location: Miami, Florida
Schedule: Full-time, Monday–Friday with on-call responsibility

Our repeat client in Miami, Florida is seeking a full-time Facilities Technician to join their growing estate team. This role supports the daily operations, maintenance, and systems oversight of a large, multi-dwelling private estate. The property includes multiple residences and complex infrastructure systems.

This is a highly hands-on role suited for someone who enjoys working on-site, troubleshooting issues in real time, and partnering closely with an existing facilities lead and additional team members. The ideal candidate is operational, technically strong, and comfortable in a fast-paced, high-functioning private estate environment.

This position reports into the Facilities Manager and works alongside a broader team of engineers, property managers, and staff.

Schedule

This is primarily a Monday–Friday role with standard daytime hours; however, flexibility is required. The Facilities Technician is expected to be responsive and available after hours and on weekends as needed, particularly when the principals are in residence or when urgent systems issues arise. Local candidates within a reasonable commuting distance to the property are strongly preferred.

Role Responsibilities

• Provide daily hands-on maintenance and operational support across multiple residences on the estate
• Monitor and troubleshoot key property systems including HVAC, pool systems, filtration systems (RO water), electrical, mechanical, and plumbing

• Maintain exterior areas including light landscaping, pressure washing, and general indication
• Support electric vehicle infrastructure and charging systems
• Maintain tools, equipment, and storage areas in a clean and organized manner

• Strong working knowledge of:
• HVAC systems
