About The Position

Launch a real career in the skilled trades, not just a job. At Monarch Investment & Management Group, we don’t offer short-term gigs, we build long-term careers. Our Junior Maintenance Apprenticeship Program is designed for people who are serious about learning the skilled trades and want to turn hands-on training into a future in multifamily maintenance. If you’re currently in a trade program, technical school, or certification track or recently completed one, this is your opportunity to step into real properties, real systems, and real responsibility alongside experienced professionals. Monarch is one of the largest privately owned multifamily housing companies in the country, operating more than 78,000 apartments across 25 states. We do everything in-house, maintenance, capital projects, property management, HVAC, roofing, rehab, painting, accounting, training, and more. That means you won’t be standing on the sidelines but you’ll be learning from the teams who actually run and maintain our communities.
