Maintenance Technician - 178

Maintenance Technicians at vertically integrated ownership groups like Berkshire Residential carry a broader scope than those working for third-party fee management shops. Because Berkshire owns what it manages, there's real investment in the physical condition of each asset, and the maintenance team plays a direct role in protecting that value long-term.

What the Role Covers Day to Day

At Red Hawk Ranch, you'll be the person keeping the community running. That means handling service requests across the standard trades: appliances, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and general building upkeep. You'll also support make-ready turns between residents, which requires moving efficiently through a punch list while keeping quality consistent. Curb appeal is taken seriously here, so expect to contribute to the overall condition of the property, not just the items on your work order queue.

You'll work alongside management to enforce safety standards, maintain shop organization, manage inventory, and keep key security protocols in place. Resident interaction is part of the job, and how you handle those moments matters. A technician who communicates clearly and follows through builds the kind of trust that reduces friction across the entire community.

What Berkshire Is Looking For

• At least one year of hands-on maintenance experience in a residential community setting
• Working knowledge across appliances, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and general building systems
• Comfort with computers and related maintenance or work order applications
• Clear written and verbal communication skills in English
• A detail-oriented approach to both technical work and resident-facing service

The posted salary range for this Colorado position runs from $24.00 to $28.00 per hour, with the actual offer depending on experience and other lawful factors. This position also includes a $2,000 sign-on bonus. Benefits include health care coverage, retirement benefits, paid sick leave, parental leave, vacation, and PTO. Berkshire also offers a 25% rent discount for employees living on-site or at a Berkshire community.

Where This Role Can Take You

Strong maintenance technicians at ownership groups like this tend to develop into lead tech or maintenance supervisor roles as they accumulate experience across multiple systems and learn to manage a shop independently. The exposure you get working directly under a property management team, rather than through a contracted vendor, gives you broader visibility into how physical asset performance connects to occupancy and NOI. Technicians who understand that connection and can communicate it to management tend to move up faster than those who treat the role as purely reactive repair work.

Berkshire describes its culture as entrepreneurial and performance-oriented, and the team structure reflects that. If you work well with autonomy, take ownership of your area, and genuinely care about the condition of the property you're responsible for, this is the kind of environment where that gets recognized.
