Summary

I'm just a technician early in his career that is fed up with being taught sub-par/bad skills. I'd like to work for a company who wants things done correctly and efficiently, that doesn't mind teaching me or mentoring me. I want to learn and grow as much as I can in a trade that never stops evolving. I want to truly take pride and any and all work being done, no matter what!

Work History

Apartment Maintenance Technician

Cotton District
06.2026 - Current

Installed repaired and maintained 340+ split residential units as well as general maintenance. The job isn't bad but there's no way I can take pride in my work. That's the main reason I'm wanting to leave. My bosses want the cheapest work you can do, leading to quite a lot of subpar installs. I want to work somewhere I can take pride in my craftsmanship as well as learn more as a whole in the HVAC trade.

  • I am responsible for all repairs and maintenance for 340+ residential HVAC units we have, even having to come after hours and make repairs.
  • Inspected apartments and common areas, completing preventive maintenance and identifying repair needs quickly.
  • Maintained HVAC filters, lighting, and safety equipment, supporting reliable property operations.
  • Documented completed work orders accurately, tracking materials and recurring maintenance issues.
