About the role

The Commercial Maintenance & Construction Technician is a versatile field team member who handles commercial renovation, maintenance, and refresh work for J. Thomas Property Services clients. This is a ground-floor opportunity to grow with a company that is actively expanding its commercial property services portfolio across DC/Baltimore Region. This is not a specialized trade role, it is a multi-skill position requiring someone who can pivot between tasks, self-start on job sites, and get things done with minimal oversight. The ideal hire is someone who takes pride in quality work regardless of the task.

What you'll do

Construction & Renovation (Primary Focus)

Commercial buildouts and remodels: not new construction, but renovation-style work in occupied commercial buildings (think: reconfiguring office layouts, framing new walls, doorway modifications). Relevant experience includes:

• Commercial drywall (metal stud framing, fire-rated assemblies, demising walls)

• Interior framing: understanding stud spacing, metal vs. wood framing nuances

• Ceiling grid work, tile installation

• Door installation, replacement, hardware

• Basic carpentry and trim work

• Flooring: hardwood, laminate, tile

• Interior/exterior painting

• Light fixture installation and upgrades

Maintenance & Refresh Work

• Pressure washing

• Gutter cleaning and downspout inspection

• Concrete patching, brick repointing

• Asphalt cold patch repairs

• Parking lot line re-striping, curb painting

• Caulking

• Furniture/fixture mounting and assembly

• Bulk trash hauling (when needed)

Candidates must be comfortable stepping out of "builder mode" and into labor/general maintenance tasks. This is expected and is framed as part of the company's growth stage.
