Maintenance Technician

Hillpointe builds and manages market-rate workforce housing across the Sun Belt, and they do it with an unusually tight vertical structure: land acquisition, construction, procurement, and asset management all run in-house. That means a maintenance technician at one of their communities isn't working for a third-party manager with a slim ops budget. They're working inside an owner-operator that controls its own capital and cares about long-term asset performance.

What the Work Looks Like Day to Day

This role covers the full range of residential maintenance at a garden-style community in Cartersville, GA. You'll run work orders for resident repair requests, perform preventive maintenance on building systems, and turn vacant units through the make-ready process so they're move-in ready on schedule. Grounds upkeep, common area inspections, and supply inventory management round out the routine. Documentation matters here: tracking materials used, logging work orders accurately, and keeping records clean are part of how the property stays operationally sound.

You'll also participate in a rotating on-call schedule, which means evening, weekend, and morning availability come with the position. That's standard at most residential communities, and worth knowing before you apply.

What Hillpointe Is Looking For

• Hands-on mechanical troubleshooting ability across building systems and common areas
• Comfort with pre-move-out inspections and punch list work during unit turns
• EPA Type I and II or Universal certification for refrigerant handling, or willingness to obtain it
• Experience coordinating with vendors and contractors, including scheduling and materials tracking
• Valid driver's license for on-site equipment operation
• High school diploma or GED, plus relevant hands-on experience
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs regularly, work at heights, and handle tools in varying outdoor conditions
• Familiarity with OSHA standards and willingness to follow safety protocols consistently

Where This Role Can Go

Technicians who build strong diagnostic skills and learn to manage turns efficiently tend to advance into lead tech or maintenance supervisor roles as their portfolio of properties grows. At a company developing multiple communities across the Sun Belt at once, internal mobility is a realistic path, especially for someone who takes ownership of their unit and communicates well with the property management team. The combination of preventive maintenance discipline and solid vendor coordination is what separates candidates who grow quickly from those who plateau at the technician level.
