maintenance man
Fixes things professionally
A maintenance man is a worker who keeps buildings, equipment, or grounds in good repair—fixing plumbing, replacing lights, patching walls, and handling routine upkeep.
The term typically refers to someone employed by an apartment complex, office building, or institution rather than an independent contractor.
The maintenance man came by to fix the leaky faucet.
Also called a handyman or, in gender-neutral terms, maintenance worker.
