Floating Apartment Maintenance Technician

Berger Communities • Allentown, PA

17h • $26 - $30 • Onsite

About The Position

Berger Communities is hiring a full-time Floating Service Technician to provide maintenance support across apartment communities in New Britain, Dublin, and Allentown, Pennsylvania, and throughout Bucks, Lehigh, and New Castle counties.

The schedule is full-time, Monday through Friday. Compensation is $26–$30 per hour, paid biweekly. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage; flexible spending accounts; short- and long-term disability insurance; life insurance; a 401(k) with company match; tuition assistance; an employee referral bonus; paid time off, volunteer time, and holidays; and a rent discount at approved Berger communities.
