MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN — ODESSA, TX (TWO OPENINGS)
Altus Management Group | Brookview Apartments & Madison Square Apartments | Full-Time | On-Site
BUILT FOR THOSE WHO FIX THINGS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.
Altus Management Group is seeking two experienced, skilled, and genuinely hands-on Maintenance Technicians to join our Odessa team — one based at Brookview Apartments and one based at Madison Square Apartments. Both are vintage-style multifamily communities that call for technicians who take real ownership of their property, lead with urgency, and bring consistent quality to every work order, every unit turn, and every property walk.
These are not light-duty roles. We need technicians who are comfortable in the crawl space, confident at the electrical panel, and skilled enough to diagnose a plumbing issue before it becomes a flood. If that is you — keep reading.
TWO POSITIONS. ONE STANDARD.
Brookview Apartments — Odessa, TX
A vintage multifamily community with character and history. Brookview needs a technician who takes pride in every unit they touch and treats the property like it is their own. Strong technical skills, proactive property walks, and a team-first attitude are a must.
Madison Square Apartments — Odessa, TX
A 300-unit vintage multifamily community with an affordable housing component. Madison Square is the larger of the two properties and demands a technician with the technical depth, organizational skills, and urgency to manage a high volume of work orders without sacrificing quality or consistency.
Both positions are full-time, on-site roles. Candidates may apply for one or both — we will place the right person at the right property.

Candidates without current certifications but with strong hands-on experience in all three disciplines are still encouraged to apply. Skills and field experience matter here.
