About Big Sky Vacation Rentals
Big Sky Vacation Rentals is a premier vacation rental management company serving property owners and guests in Big Sky, Montana - one of the most sought-after mountain destinations in the country. We manage our owners' most valuable assets and are trusted to protect their investment, deliver exceptional guest experiences, and maintain every property to the highest standard. Our Maintenance team is on the front line of that promise - and the Maintenance Technician is one of the most important roles in the field.
Position Summary
The Maintenance Technician is a hands-on field role responsible for the upkeep, repair, and maintenance of vacation rental properties across the Big Sky Vacation Rentals portfolio. This role requires a self-sufficient, solution-oriented professional who can diagnose and resolve a wide range of property issues quickly, communicate clearly, and consistently deliver work that reflects the quality standard our owners and guests expect.
This is not a desk job. You will be in the field daily - solving real problems and representing Big Sky Vacation Rentals with every interaction. The ideal candidate takes pride in their work, shows up ready, and treats every property like it belongs to someone they care about - because it does.
Core Responsibilities
Property Maintenance & Repairs
Perform general maintenance and repair work across assigned vacation rental properties including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliances, carpentry, painting, and general handyman tasks
Diagnose maintenance issues efficiently and determine the best course of action - repair, replace, or escape to a licensed specialist
Complete work orders assigned through Breezeway in a timely manner with clear documentation of work performed, parts used, and time spent
Respond to urgent and guest-reported maintenance issues with urgency and professionalism - same-day response is the standard for guest-impacting issues
Perform preventive maintenance inspections to identify and address issues before they impact guests or owners
Property Readiness
Support the inspection and turnover team by addressing maintenance items identified during property inspections
Ensure all appliances, fixtures, systems, and amenities are in proper working order before each guest arrival
Assist with seasonal property preparation - winterization, HVAC filter changes, outdoor furniture setup, hot tub maintenance, and similar recurring tasks
Maintain exterior property standards including decks, walkways, exterior lighting, and entry areas
Inventory & Vehicle Management
Maintain a properly stocked work vehicle at the start of each shift - all common maintenance supplies loaded and verified before departure
Restock vehicle from the office par inventory as needed to ensure supply readiness throughout the day
Track parts and materials used on each work order and communicate supply needs to the Operations Manager
Keep the work vehicle clean, organized, and professionally maintained at all times
Communication & Documentation
Log all completed work orders in Breezeway with accurate notes, photos, and time stamps
Communicate proactively with the Operations Manager on job status, parts needs, and any issues requiring escalation
Notify the Operations Manager immediately of any conditions that could impact guest safety, owner liability, or property integrity
Represent Big Sky Vacation Rentals professionally in all interactions with guests, owners, and vendors
What We're Looking For
Technical Ability - Proficient in general maintenance trades - basic plumbing, electrical, carpentry, painting, and appliance repair
Problem Solving - Ability to assess a situation quickly, determine the right fix, and execute without step-by-step direction
Reliability - Shows up on time, completes assigned work orders, and follows through without needing to be managed
Attention to Detail - Work is done right the first time - a property left with an unresolved issue is not an option
Communication - Clear and timely updates to the Operations Manager on work status, parts needed, and anything unexpected
Professionalism - Interacts with guests and owners with courtesy and care - represents the Big Sky Vacation Rentals brand every day
Tech Proficiency - Comfortable using Breezeway or similar platforms for work order management and documentation
You Are
Someone who takes pride in their work and does not cut corners
Comfortable working independently and managing your own day in the field
Calm under pressure - guest-impacting issues require a fast, composed response
A team player who communicates proactively and supports the broader operations team
Someone who treats every property like it belongs to someone who cares deeply about it - because it does
Qualifications
Required
2+ years of experience in general maintenance, facilities, construction, or a related trade
Valid driver's license and clean driving record - you will be operating a company vehicle daily
Reliable, punctual, and self-directed - field work depends on it
Ability to pass a background check
Preferred
Experience in property management, hospitality, or vacation rental maintenance
Familiarity with Breezeway or similar work order management platforms
Knowledge of hot tub maintenance, HVAC systems, or smart home technology
Basic plumbing and electrical troubleshooting experience
Experience working across multiple properties in a fast-paced environment
Physical Requirements
Prolonged periods of physical activity - walking, lifting, climbing, and working in varied weather conditions
Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds
Ability to ascend and descend ladders and work at heights as needed
Ability to work outdoors in Big Sky's seasonal mountain conditions - some of the most demanding weather in the country
Manual dexterity for detailed repair and installation work
Schedule
Full-time, typically Monday through Sunday with rotating days off based on operational needs
Hours vary seasonally - peak summer and winter seasons require full availability
On-call availability required for urgent guest-impacting maintenance issues

Competitive hourly wage commensurate with experience
