    About the Role
    Up to $40/hr, with the option to live on-property — this role is built for a maintenance tech who wants more than just a paycheck. If you bring 2+ years of maintenance experience and are comfortable with day-to-day HVAC work, this is a chance to cut your commute to zero and take on a stable, full-time role with a company that invests in its people.


    You'll handle general repairs, work orders, and preventive maintenance across the property, working closely with the maintenance team to keep the community running smoothly.

Apartment maintenance background is preferred, but any solid hands-on maintenance experience translates well.
