Maintenance Technician

Student housing runs on a different rhythm than conventional multifamily. Residents move in waves, turns happen fast and hard, and the community around you is full of people who have never lived independently before. If you're a maintenance tech who can keep pace with that environment and still treat a work order like it matters, this role at The Verge at Grand Forks is worth a close look.

Scion has built its reputation specifically in the student living space, and the Facilities Technician role sits at the center of day-to-day operations. You're responding to service requests, knocking out preventive maintenance, and making sure units are ready for incoming residents. That last part carries real weight in student housing. Turn season is compressed and unforgiving. Punch lists don't wait, and a unit that isn't ready on move-in day is a much bigger problem here than in conventional apartment communities.

On a typical day, you might handle a plumbing fixture repair in the morning, replace a lighting element in a common area, document everything in the system before end of shift, and field an urgent call that afternoon about an appliance that stopped working. The documentation piece isn't optional. Clear, complete notes on work performed, parts used, and any follow-up needed are part of how the team stays coordinated and how the property protects itself. You'll also be maintaining HVAC components, cleaning coils and condensers, swapping filters, and lubricating equipment as part of a scheduled PM program.

On-call responsibility comes with the position. That's a real commitment, not a footnote. After-hours and weekend emergencies happen, and the expectation is that you're reachable and responsive outside of standard hours when it's your rotation. That's the honest reality of this work, and it's worth knowing upfront.

What separates a strong candidate here isn't just technical range, though that matters. It's the ability to work well with young residents who may not communicate maintenance issues clearly, who sometimes cause the problems they're reporting, and who still deserve to be treated with patience and professionalism. People skills and wrenches go together in this role.
