Are you a maintenance technician who is tired of being on their feet all day, responding to “emergencies” and keeping a clean and well-stocked shop? How would you like to continue working in maintenance from the comfort of your own home?

HappyCo’s software enables Happy Force maintenance technicians to assist residents remotely via text, phone and video calls. Happy Force technicians are elevating the maintenance experience for residents in multifamily apartments and houses across the country without having to carry tools around and can work on a flexible schedule that gives them work-life balance.

The Position

We’re looking for motivated, experienced, creative and tech-savvy Maintenance Technicians to join our Happy Force team and assist residents remotely.

Happy Force remote technicians assist on-site teams by prioritizing issues and providing step by step guidance to assist residents in resolving basic issues arising from everyday living.

We have all hours and all shifts available: part-time, full-time, overnight, weekends, day shifts, night shifts, etc. Please indicate your availability and preferences in your application. This is also an opportunity to grow your skill set and build a career with HappyCo, moving from contract to full or part-time employment with benefits.
