The role first
The person who answers for their home
The role
You do the maintenance work and small repairs at your members' homes yourself. You inspect their homes, build their preventive maintenance plan and make sure it's followed, season after season. For them, you're the person who answers for their home: the one who fixes things today and sees what's going to give out tomorrow.
Your portfolio
About 50 member homes and a few condo associations. Not a territory: a set of properties you know inside out, because you're the one doing the work there.
What you don't do
Selling. Quoting. Finding clients. The work itself, you do: your role is the home. At the end of the visit, you create the invoice on site in the Beau-frère à louer app and hand it to the client.
Your first months, step by step
Six months to become the person a homeowner trusts
A homeowner takes the word of someone who has already fixed what they're inspecting. So you start with the work, and you keep doing it: inspection and the maintenance plan are added step by step. It's your job, paid from day one: the coaching happens during your working hours.
The foundations
In the field, you do maintenance work and small repairs in our members' homes. You learn how we do things, the app and the safety rules. You observe inspections alongside an experienced lead.
You learn: the Beau-frère à louer inspection method.
Co-inspections
You keep doing the work at our members' homes, and you inspect with a lead who reviews and corrects your work. You start writing maintenance plans.
You learn: how to write a maintenance plan.Milestone: end of probation, $500 bonus, group insurance 50% paid.
Your first members
Members are assigned to you: you do their work and your supervised inspections, and you get your first plans approved.
You learn: following a plan over time, and an introduction to the condo maintenance logbook.
Residential Maintenance Lead · Longueuil and South Shore
Once your 10 supervised inspections are done and you've passed your training in building maintenance plans, you become a Residential Maintenance Lead, at $28.50/h, with your own portfolio: its work, its inspections, its plans.
Our pioneers are building the role
You're not following a set path. You're helping us map it out.
We'll be upfront: this role is new. Our first maintenance leads are helping us build it. Their questions, corrections and ideas will shape the inspection method, the maintenance plans and how we welcome the people who come after them.
We bring on only a few people at a time, so each one really has someone experienced by their side. If you like the idea of being among the first, and having a say in how the trade is done here, now's the time.
Why your DVS is an asset
Your DVS is exactly what we need
During your DVS in General Building Maintenance, you learned to read a building: its components, its systems, its plans, health and safety, communicating with occupants. That's the vocabulary of the lead role.
- You know how to diagnose. Spotting a simple problem before it becomes a big one is the heart of an inspection.
- You know how to read a plan and document. A maintenance plan is all about order, priorities and follow-up.
- You know safety. With us, safety always comes before speed.
- You know how to work in an occupied building. At our members' homes, you're in someone's home.
And where school leaves off, our field work takes over: all kinds of homes, homeowners who each have their own story, and a path that leads to a real lead role, with your preventive inspections, your maintenance plans and your own portfolio of homes.
Bill 16 and condos
A trade that's gaining value
Since August 14, 2025, the law requires every condo association in Quebec to have a maintenance logbook prepared for its building; existing condos have until August 2028 to get their first one. It's prepared, and reviewed at least every five years, by an independent professional (engineer, architect, professional technologist or chartered appraiser), and the board of directors must update it at least once a year.
A logbook doesn't keep itself up to date. Between reviews, you need routine inspections, maintenance work done on time, and a record of what was done, when and why, to feed the board's annual update. That's exactly what a Residential Maintenance Lead does, without ever replacing the professional who prepares the logbook.
We're starting with our members' homes. Condo associations will come into your portfolio later. The day they do, you'll be ready.

FAQ
Your questions
What people ask us most often about this job.
Yes. Final-year students are welcome. In your application, tell us your training centre and your expected completion date; we'll plan your start date accordingly.
Because you inspect better what you've already repaired. And because a homeowner trusts someone who knows their home from the inside. These six months are part of your job, and they're paid: it's not a waiting period.
Yes. You keep doing the maintenance work and small repairs at your members' homes: that's how you get to know their homes inside out. What's added is the inspection, the maintenance plan and its follow-up.
No. Beau-frère à louer doesn't do it. When an inspection turns up a need in those trades, it's handed to partner companies that hold the required licences. Your role: spot it, note it and make sure it gets followed up.
The starting rate is the same for everyone: $26/h. Your diploma opens the door to a job designed to lead to the lead role, at $28.50/h, possible after 6 months.
At first, in houses: our members' homes. Condo associations will be added to the leads' portfolios later on.
Your conditions aren't new: 35 guaranteed hours, pay rate, benefits and advancement criteria are in writing from the day you're hired. What's being built with you is the method. And being among the first means having a say.
