We are a small vacation rental management company seeking a full time year round maintenance employee.

The pay range for this position is flexible depending on current ability and experience. We are happy to strongly consider someone inexperienced and eager, or someone with experience looking for a better opportunity.
This position will work a varying and somewhat flexible schedule depending on the time of year, but most weeks during the rental season will be Sunday through Thursday for 8 hour shifts. The ability to work the occasional off day in an emergency will be required. We are a small company so we don’t have any medical benefits at this time but hope to in under a year as we grow.
This is NOT an on site position that will require daily or weekly pool cleaning, trash removal, custodial work, or other facility care, etc. Though those items may be an occasional requirement of the job.

I know that this is an old post but I am just going to throw this out there ... I'm retiring to Inlet Beach in March 2026 and I would be looking to do this kind of work on a part time basis when I get down there.

If the original poster or anyone else wants comment on the job market for part time or contract maintenance guys, I would love to hear what you have to say. I know that the market and the world will be different two and a half years from now but I am working on my retirement plan and trying to gauge what the part time work opportunities will look like.

Thanks!

Someone sharp and reliable with skills can find work in SoWal. However, making a living, considering the cost of living, is difficult.

I doubt the wealthy will ever decide to change their own light bulbs and air filters, so there's definitely no end in site for these jobs.

That said most places are looking for full-time employment for that type of a position, but it never hurts to apply and negotiate.

The other option is to start your own business and contract with individuals and rental companies. Walton county doesn't currently have a business license and most basic maintenance can be done without a professional license. The Department of Business and Professional Regulation is a great resource for what can be done without a specific license like contracting, electrical, plumbing, roofing etc.
