About the Role
This position is designed for technical college seniors and recent graduates who want to turn hands-on training into real, paid, on-the-job experience as a Facilities Maintenance Technician.
HomeSmiles Charleston–Beaufort provides residential and commercial property maintenance services. This role offers a practical next step after technical college for individuals who want to build field experience, responsibility, and long-term career opportunity in facilities and property maintenance.
This is on-the-job employment, not a youth apprenticeship or college-administered program.
What You’ll Do
- Perform hands-on facilities and property maintenance work
- Work on residential and commercial properties
- Use professional tools and equipment
- Apply technical skills learned during technical college training
- Identify and solve maintenance issues on site

No two days look exactly the same.
Who This Role Is For

- Planning work and timelines
- Managing tools, materials, and job sites

Commercial Facilities Experience
In addition to residential work, you’ll gain exposure to commercial facilities maintenance projects, including:
