Commercial Property Maintenance Handyman
Job type: Full-time, permanent

Schedule: Monday to Friday, day shift 9am-6pm with one hour lunch break, with occasional on-call response for after-hours emergencies

Skye Capital Partners is hiring an experienced, hands-on Maintenance Handyman to look after a multi-tenant commercial property at the intersection of Sheppard Avenue East and Kennedy Road in Scarborough. This is a single-site role — you'll be the go-to person who keeps the building running, the tenants happy, and the property looking its best.
The site has a steady, predictable mix of work: light repairs, preventive maintenance, vendor coordination, and the occasional small project. We're looking for someone reliable, resourceful, and comfortable working independently with minimal supervision.
What you'll be doing
- General building maintenance and repair: drywall patching, painting, door and lock repairs, ceiling tile replacement, plumbing fixture repairs, basic electrical (lighting, ballasts, outlets), and washroom upkeep
- Routine preventive maintenance on HVAC, lighting, plumbing, and life-safety systems; coordinating with specialty trades when work is outside scope
- Responding to tenant service requests in a professional, timely manner and closing them out cleanly
- Walking the property daily — interior common areas, washrooms, mechanical rooms, parking lot, loading areas, exterior grounds — and flagging issues before they become problems
- Site security — ensuring the property is free of vagrants
- Grounds and curb-appeal work: landscaping, snow and ice management, garbage and recycling oversight, pressure washing as needed
- Receiving and supervising contractors and vendors on site; verifying work meets specification before sign-off
- Keeping accurate logs of work orders, maintenance activity, inspections, and supply inventory
- Supporting the property manager with tenant move-ins/move-outs, unit turnovers, and small capital projects
What we're looking for
- Experience in hands-on building maintenance, handyman, or facilities work — commercial or mixed-use property experience strongly preferred
- Solid working knowledge across multiple trades: carpentry, plumbing, basic electrical, drywall, painting, locksmithing basics
- Comfortable diagnosing problems and deciding what you can fix yourself versus when to call a trade
- Familiarity with HVAC systems at a maintenance level (filter changes, belt checks, basic troubleshooting)
- Able to read floor plans, follow safety procedures, and work with hand and power tools safely
- Valid Ontario driver's licence and reliable access to a vehicle (mileage reimbursed when work-related)
- Physically able to lift up to 50 lbs, climb ladders, and work in mechanical and roof spaces
- Professional, presentable, and customer-service oriented when dealing with tenants
- Clear written and verbal communication in English
- Mandarin or Cantonese skills are an asset
Location
Commercial property at Sheppard Avenue East and Kennedy Road, Scarborough — well served by TTC bus routes and a short walk from Agincourt GO Station. Free on-site parking.
