Maintenance Technician

Village Green manages communities where residents actually want to come home. That standard extends to the maintenance team, because nothing erodes trust with a resident faster than a work order that drags or a turn that looks rushed. If you take that seriously, this role in Woodbury, MN is worth your attention.

The day-to-day here covers the full range of what a capable technician handles: completing work orders on time, responding to service requests across plumbing, electrical, and appliances, and keeping up with turns that require real trade knowledge. A make-ready here means more than a quick clean. You're looking at drywall repair, painting, appliance inspection or swap-out, and anything else that needs to be right before a new resident walks in. The property's exterior condition is also part of your scope. Curb appeal maintenance, seasonal snow removal, and pool and spa upkeep (where applicable) are all on the table.

On-call availability comes with the role. Property managers lean on technicians who can be reached after hours and who respond without dragging their feet. That's the honest part of this job that doesn't always make it into postings. It's also where the quarterly bonus program starts to make more sense.

Pay runs $25 to $29 per hour depending on experience, with quarterly bonuses on top. Village Green also offers medical, dental, and vision coverage, and a 401(k) with a company match.

One thing that separates strong candidates here: residents are part of every service call. A technician who fixes the problem correctly but leaves a resident feeling dismissed will always create more friction than they resolve. The people who thrive in this kind of role combine real technical skill with basic interpersonal common sense. You don't have to be warm and fuzzy, but you do have to be professional and communicative.

What they're looking for

• One to three years of experience in multifamily housing or hospitality maintenance
• Strong working knowledge of plumbing, electrical, appliances, and painting
• HVAC familiarity is expected; certifications in plumbing, contracting, or building trades are a plus
• Comfortable with basic computer use for work order tracking
• Available for on-call rotation and occasional weekend work
