Maintenance Technician – Plumbing, Electrical & Appliance Repair
Build a Career with Union Hill
Do you enjoy figuring out why something isn't working? Are you the person friends and family call when a faucet leaks, an outlet stops working, or an appliance needs attention? Do you enjoy troubleshooting problems, working with your hands, and finding practical solutions?
If so, we'd love to meet you.
At Union Hill, we're looking for someone with strong troubleshooting skills, mechanical aptitude, and a willingness to learn. While apartment maintenance experience is a plus, it's not required.
