Maintenance Technician with Brightisle

Where Repairs Become Care.

Are you the kind of person who notices when something’s off before anyone else does? Do you take pride in fixing things the right way—not just the quick way? Are you just as comfortable handling a work order as you are jumping in to solve a problem on the spot?

Good! We need you.

Based in St. John’s, this is a full-time position with occasional travel as needed. This role is key to ensuring the spaces where people live and receive care are safe, functional, and well-maintained.

Maintain Safe, Functional Homes– Complete routine maintenance, repairs, and minor renovations across residential properties, ensuring issues are resolved quickly and properly.

Manage Work Orders End-to-End – Receive, prioritize, and update maintenance requests in the internal system, keeping work organized and stakeholders informed.

Handle Core Repairs & Upkeep – Address everyday maintenance needs including minor plumbing, painting, plastering, fixtures, doors, cabinets, and general wear and tear.

Support Clean, Organized Environments– Oversee site clean-ups, bulk garbage removal, and maintain tools, equipment, and supply inventory.

Collaborate & Keep Operations Moving – Work closely with team members, transport materials as needed, and ensure timely submission of expenses and documentation.

What You Bring

Experience in general maintenance, repairs, or a related field (formal training or trade certification is an asset)

A practical, hands-on skillset across basic carpentry, plumbing, and general repairs

Strong ability to prioritize tasks, manage time, and respond to competing demands

Comfort using Microsoft 365 and digital systems to track and update work

Valid driver’s license with a clean driver’s abstract

Willingness to travel outside the Metro region as needed

Ability to safely perform the physical requirements of the role, with or without reasonable accommodation
