I have been a maintenance tech for hotels for 12 years and I'm going to work for apartments now I found your channel today I have been watching some of your videos you have very informative videos.
Working with hotels is good , but hours sucks , I was hire for a hotel as Maintaiance TEch, good benefits but the schedule sucks couse they all open every day !
I’m maintenance for a farm. Lots of mechanic work and maintaining 40 year old green houses. I also do all the landscape work. I work 6 days a week, on call for 7.
I grew up with my grandfather working on tractors, that is alot of work and you have to be able to figure things out pretty fast. I think those jobs are very hard but make you a great worker that has to understand things and figure a way to fix them even without the proper parts or tools!! Thanks for your comment!!
enjoyed the part explaining I felt it was really informative and you really brought the point across well. So true about being oncall. I am really interested in engineering and have had a career in engineering for over 28 years from everything from starting as a mechanics assistant to now a Project Manager. I enjoy sharing my skills and knowledge as well with others like yourself. I have provide training to others and had apprentices work with me to kick start there careers. Many thanks, Great job.
@@MaintenanceManNarratives I’m 22 and working in office buildings. Any advice as far as what I should I learn ?? I want to go back to trade school , dropped out due to COvid but I got this opportunity 2 months ago ; started off as a day porter and now a maintenance tech 1
I've done HVAC installation in residential for about a year and now I'm moving to a international airport as a maintenance tech. Doing it all as you would say. I'm excited.
Good advice, great video. I need to know the ins & outs though. What exactly does a maintenance technician do? Will I be fixing a lot of thing, do I need experience, is it a job that I can spice up my resume since I have 5 yrs porter experience? Can I actually finagle my way into saying I have experience & get the job? What are some main tasks that will need to be done when it comes down to it? Some input would really help me right now, I can get a job in this line of work that pays ok.
Who buys the material & parts ? The complex or out of your pocket ? Are you better off having you own tools before going to a job hiring for maintnence ?
Oh watch repair? I'm a jeweler / clock maker switching to apartment maintenance. I'm in Florida do I was not trying to go outside all day in construction.
Yea, I am. But honestly this job is healthier and my days go by faster. I think in this job we get enough outdoor work to get enough vitamin D. But most of our work is of course indoors. I hope you like this type of work!!
You be alright mate, I been machine maintance for a week and is actually pretty fun and a lot stuff to learn. I have the same background low voltage tech
I think you'll have a good time. They hired you, knowing full well that you had very limited experience, and the other maintenance people tend to really enjoy showing the new gopher the ropes. That's how it's going with me, and that's how it's been in the past. I'm working maintenance at a water slide park going on month #3. I've already gotten 1 raise and a promotion. I'm a writer, not a handy man, but the day hoes by fast and I have fun. Doesn't hurt that there are hundreds of women in bikinis all over the place either.
Hey I sent you a comment but yt probably deleted it because it included a link. I was trying to tell you to get a maintenance tech job with an employer that's covered by Arizona State Retirement System. (AZASRS). That includes your school districts, colleges, universities, and towns. 👍
So in this job, u learn a variety of tools/machines to fix? And apply at locations to fix such stuff (for a gym as an example?) I seen machine maintenance go up to 40$ the hour if this is the case How do i get started?
No, school is not the only way of getting it. You can buy the book and study it and take the epa certification test. I was fortunate enough to have worked with guys that were willing to teach me the fundamentals of air conditioning. I will clarify that being certified doesn't necessarily mean someone knows Hvac. That why some schools are good.
My best advice would be to do directly to a complex in the area you want to work in and just apply for a job. Alot of time if you're honest and explain that you're not experienced in this work but really want to learn, they will probably hire you or connect you with a complex that needs help. Keep in mind that complexes that have over 1hundred units have more than on maintenance tech. They are about 1 tech per hundred units so the bigger the better. You will have more chances of learning from an experienced tech than from a school. I also have alot of videos here that will definitely help you with maintenance work.. good luck!!
I would go to a bigger complex that has other techs, it's the best way to start. I also have this video that will help alot ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cQKcukWD5NE.html But also watching alot of youtube!! Good luck!!
Working maintenance at a water slide park is great. (The view in particular.) Aim for something enjoyable if you can. Whoever is senior to you, will likely enjoy teaching you what he knows. That's how it always goes. Start as the gopher and learn the tricks of the trade, while you carry things and change the blinker fluid.
