Join Wendover as a Maintenance Technician – Be the Difference Behind the Scenes

At Wendover, we believe in taking pride in the details that matter most—safety, comfort, and care. As a Maintenance Technician , you are the hands behind the help—responding to service calls, maintaining the property, and ensuring every resident enjoys a space they’re proud to call home. You set the tone for what quality feels like.

You thrive in a role where no two days are the same. You're energized by problem-solving, take initiative without needing to be asked, and lead with a strong work ethic. Whether you're troubleshooting HVAC, making a repair, or preparing an apartment for its next resident, you bring skill, care, and respect to everything you touch.

How you’ll Make a Difference

As a Maintenance Technician at Wendover, you’ll play a vital role in creating and maintaining the high-quality living experience our residents count on. With a focus on safety, service, and curb appeal, you’ll support the day-to-day upkeep of the community while modeling care, precision, and pride in every task. Working closely with the Service Manager and Community Manager, you’ll bring both hands-on skill and heart for service to every interaction.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain the overall cleanliness and functionality of grounds, amenities, building exteriors, leasing office, and shared spaces

• Ensure trash is removed regularly from office areas, community perimeters, and trash chutes/compactors

• Prepare units for new residents by supporting make-ready efforts—including trash removal and minor repairs

• Clean and prepare available apartments and models to our standard of excellence

• Troubleshoot and repair a range of maintenance issues, including mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and carpentry

• Assist with maintenance needs across the community and escalate larger concerns to the Service or Community Manager

• Support emergency response efforts including hazardous weather, flooding, or fire events

• Keep the maintenance shop clean, organized, and stocked

• Collaborate with office staff on community projects or resident needs as requested

• Embrace our shared responsibility culture—where every team member plays a role in safety, service, and success

Requirements

What You Bring

• High school diploma or equivalent required; previous experience in property maintenance is a plus
• Working knowledge of light carpentry, drywall repair and texture, and painting
• Comfort with troubleshooting HVAC, electrical, and mechanical issues (certification a plus)
• A keen eye for detail and a proactive mindset toward safety and presentation
• Customer service focus with a positive, team-first attitude
• Ability to multitask and shift priorities in a fast-paced, people-centered environment
• Computer literacy helpful, but not required—willingness to learn is key
• A sense of pride, ownership, and care in everything you do
• Driver’s license and vehicle required based on community needs
• Promote a collaborative culture rooted in respect, ownership, and accountability

“We rise together” isn’t just something we say—it’s how we work. At Wendover, we empower our team members to grow, lead, and make a lasting difference.

Working Conditions & Expectations

This is a full-time role requiring flexibility, including on-call rotation, some weekend work, and occasional overtime. This role is active and hands-on, requiring physical stamina, agility, and attention to detail to ensure a safe, well-maintained community.

• Frequent walking, standing, bending, kneeling, and climbing throughout the day
• Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds unassisted
• Use of ladders, power tools, and other maintenance equipment as needed
• Comfort working in a variety of indoor and outdoor conditions—including heat, cold, rain, and humidity
