Position Overview

The Reading Group (TRG) is seeking a highly autonomous and proactive Senior Maintenance Technician to oversee the upkeep and operational integrity of our commercial real estate portfolio. This is a mid-to-senior level career role designed for a "jack-of-all-trades" professional who thrives in a remote, self-directed environment and does not require daily supervision.

As the primary steward of our Indianapolis and Greensburg assets, you will act as a motivated self-starter, managing your schedule to ensure our facilities remain in peak condition. You will be expected to work independently while maintaining clear, proactive communication with management regarding facility needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Autonomous Facility Oversight: Independently manage daily maintenance workflows across multiple sites, serving as the "eyes and ears" for management.
• Preventative & Strategic Maintenance: Develop and execute long-term preventative maintenance schedules for all building systems to minimize reactive repairs.
• System Diagnostics: Troubleshoot and manage complex HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems. While certifications are not mandatory, deep functional knowledge is required to perform high-quality repairs solo.
• Structural Repairs: Execute construction-related tasks including wall installation/removal, ceiling tile replacement, carpentry, painting, and caulking.
• Safety & Compliance: Conduct rigorous inspections of buildings and equipment; lead safety inspections (including fire life safety) to ensure 100% compliance with local codes.
• Grounds Management: Oversee landscaping efforts, including the installation, trimming, and removal of surface plantings and general outdoor aesthetics.
• Project Leadership: Lead minor demo and construction projects; periodically travel to our Cincinnati location to support larger-scale initiatives and capital improvements.
• Communication: Provide regular, proactive updates to management on property status, potential risks, and task completion via established reporting channels.

Required Skills & Mindset

• Experience: 7+ years of experience in commercial maintenance or construction (Experience managing multiple sites preferred).
• Technical Proficiency: Advanced "handyman" skill set with documented proficiency in electrical, HVAC, and general construction.
• Autonomy & Ethics: A proven track record of working solo without direct daily supervision. Must demonstrate high integrity, a strong work ethic, and motivation.
• Proactive Problem Solving: Ability to identify a problem before it becomes an emergency and take the initiative to resolve it.
• Communication: Strong verbal and written skills; ability to "communicate up" effectively to leadership.
• Physical Requirements: Must be able to lift 50 lbs. regularly and work in both indoor and outdoor environments.
• Mobility: Valid Driver’s License and reliable transportation for travel between Indianapolis, Greensburg, and Cincinnati.
