Your work order completions and resident satisfaction scores will determine your path forward here — not politics. We invest in techs who invest in their craft, including paying for certifications that grow your value. This is full-time, stable employment with a team that treats maintenance as essential — not an afterthought. Heads Up Before You Apply This role requires prior multifamily maintenance experience . Applications without it will not move forward. We're looking for someone who can contribute from day one, not someone learning the ropes on our residents' time. If that's you — we'd love to meet you. Apply today. Qualified candidates will be contacted promptly.
