Maintenance Technician 2 - Arbors at Turnberry

Maintenance roles in property management tend to follow a clear progression, and a Technician 2 position at a nearly 370-unit community is a smart place to build the foundation. At Arbors at Turnberry in Pickerington, Ohio, Ackermann Group is looking for someone with at least a year of general maintenance experience who's ready to sharpen that skill set across a full range of hands-on work.

Ackermann has been active in Midwest real estate development and property management since 1938, which means the infrastructure around training and career growth is real, not aspirational. This role is explicitly positioned as a training opportunity, so you'll be working alongside experienced maintenance personnel while taking on make-readies, intermediate repairs, and preventive maintenance tasks. The scope covers plumbing, electrical, carpentry, appliance repair, HVAC, and painting. You'll also handle grounds upkeep, pool water management when applicable, snow removal participation, and janitorial duties that keep the community presentable. Move-in and move-out inspections are part of the rhythm, and after-hours emergency on-call rotations are part of the deal too, so that's worth factoring in before you apply.

What separates candidates who grow quickly in this type of role is comfort with the full make-ready cycle. Technicians who understand that a tight punch list directly affects occupancy and turn time tend to get more responsibility faster. At a 367-unit community, there's enough volume to build real speed and consistency across unit turns without it feeling chaotic.

The standard schedule runs Monday through Friday, 8 to 5, with the emergency on-call rotation layered on top.

What Ackermann is looking for

• One or more years of general maintenance experience across multiple trade areas
• Valid driver's license with proof of insurance
• High school diploma or equivalent
• EPA Type I and II, CAMT, or CPO certifications are a plus but not required
• Strong attention to detail and a collaborative approach to the work

Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401k with company match, paid time off (including your birthday), quarterly bonus potential, lease renewal commission, an employee rent discount at any Ackermann community, and access to career coaching and development resources. That last piece is worth noting: a company that's been around since 1938 and still invests in internal development tends to promote from within, and a Technician 2 who builds competency across trades and earns certifications along the way is well-positioned to move into a lead or supervisor role as the opportunity comes up.
