About Fellowship Recovery

Fellowship Recovery is a Minnesota-based substance use disorder treatment organization dedicated to supporting individuals in their recovery journey.

As our organization continues to grow and expand our residential housing operations, we are seeking an experienced and dependable Property Maintenance Technician to join our Facilities Operations team.

About the Position

We are looking for a skilled, hands-on maintenance professional who takes pride in their work, knows how to troubleshoot problems, and can independently complete a wide variety of property repairs and improvement projects.

This is not a desk-based facilities management position. We need someone who is comfortable picking up tools, diagnosing problems, completing repairs, and ensuring our residential and office properties remain safe, functional, and well-maintained.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in residential property maintenance, general construction, or building repairs and understands when work requires permits, inspections, or appropriately licensed contractors.

You will work directly with our Director of Facilities Operations and provide occasional hands-on technical guidance to other maintenance personnel. This position does not include formal supervisory responsibilities.

• Assist with coordinating necessary permits, inspections, and contractor services.

• Communicate with outside plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and other specialized contractors when appropriate.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent.

• Minimum of 4 years of hands-on experience in residential property maintenance, commercial building maintenance, construction, or a related field.

• Ability to independently diagnose maintenance problems and complete quality repairs without constant supervision.

• Familiarity with building codes, property safety standards, and basic permitting requirements.

Work is performed onsite at Fellowship Recovery's residential and office properties throughout Minneapolis, St. Louis Park, and surrounding areas. Regular travel between properties is required.

The position involves physical maintenance work, including standing, walking, bending, kneeling, climbing, using hand and power tools, and safely lifting or moving maintenance materials and equipment, generally up to 75 pounds with appropriate assistance or equipment when needed.
