Maintenance Technician - EPA Certified

Weinstein Properties runs a straightforward operation: they own and manage their communities directly, which means the person giving you direction is the same person accountable for the property's condition. There's no third-party management layer, no conflicting priorities from an outside owner. Standards stay consistent, and when leadership says they support the team, it actually shows up in how the day-to-day works.

What You'll Actually Do

The bulk of your time goes to work orders in occupied units. Residents call in issues, you troubleshoot them, you fix them. HVAC is a big part of that, which is why the EPA certification matters here, not as a checkbox but as something you'll use regularly. Plumbing, electrical, appliances, carpentry: all of it comes through the queue. You'll also help with turns and make-readies when units come vacant, which means punch lists, coordinating with the team, and getting units rent-ready on schedule. Pool areas, grounds, and amenities are part of the picture too.

The on-call rotation is real. You'll share it with the team, but you should go in knowing that after-hours calls happen. The $150 weekly on-call pay applies whether your phone rings or not, and there's an additional $150 for holiday on-call coverage. That's a straightforward acknowledgment from the company that being available has a cost, and they're compensating for it.

What You Bring

• At least 3 years of hands-on apartment or residential maintenance experience
• EPA Type II or Universal certification (required, not preferred)
• Demonstrated HVAC troubleshooting and repair ability
• Comfort working independently and coordinating within a team
• Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license
• Ability to lift up to 75 lbs and work both indoors and outdoors year-round
• Proficiency with basic computer tools: work order systems, Outlook, mobile devices
• Ability to climb ladders and stairs, and operate a golf cart on property

Strong candidates here aren't just technically capable. They communicate well with residents, they close their work orders with care, and they treat occupied units with respect. A tech who can fix the HVAC but leaves a mess or keeps residents in the dark doesn't last long in a community that cares about its reputation.

The Role in Context

Fort Worth's residential market has stayed active, and well-maintained communities in the north corridor hold their occupancy because residents notice when maintenance is sharp. This position pays $20 per hour to start, with room to move up based on experience. There's a quarterly bonus of up to $980 tied to property and team performance, a rent discount, PTO, paid holidays, birthday time off, and full medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus a 401(k) with company match.

For a tech with solid HVAC skills and a few years of apartment experience, this kind of in-house ownership structure tends to offer more stability and clearer advancement than a scattered portfolio managed by a third party. Weinstein notes that internal growth is real here, and for someone who eventually wants to move into a lead tech or maintenance supervisor role, that path is easier to walk when the company already knows your work.
