Maintenance Technician
About The Position
In student housing, things move quickly. The best maintenance technicians know that every repair, every apartment, and every interaction helps shape the experience our residents have while they're here. We're hiring a Maintenance Technician at Ivy & Elm — someone who takes pride in quality workmanship, enjoys solving problems, and understands that great maintenance is about more than fixing what's broken. It's about helping create a community students are proud to call home. This isn't just a maintenance position. It's about protecting the resident experience, supporting your team, and taking ownership of the community every day. This role sits at the intersection of Skilled Maintenance, Customer Service, Problem Solving, Teamwork, and Community Pride.
