About this role
Cottonwood Residential is seeking a hands-on maintenance technician to keep The Melrose Apartments running smoothly. You'll handle a range of repairs across plumbing, electrical work, and general carpentry, responding to resident requests during standard hours and on-call for after-hours emergencies. The role demands physical stamina—you'll be climbing, lifting up to 50 lbs, stooping, and navigating tight spaces regularly while reading technical manuals and communicating clearly with residents and your Service Manager.
This position suits someone with a solid foundation in apartment or building maintenance who's comfortable with diverse repair tasks. EPA or CPO certifications and HVAC troubleshooting experience are valued but not required; a valid driver's license is essential. Cottonwood offers competitive pay, health and dental coverage starting within your first month, three weeks of paid time off in year one, and a 401k match—plus the flexibility of a company that values learning and resident satisfaction.
