Redstone Residential manages more than 38,000 beds across 20 states, making it one of the largest third-party student housing operators in the country. The Station at Millrace in Provo is part of that portfolio, and this full-time Maintenance Technician role sits at the center of how the property performs day to day.
The work itself covers the full range of ground-level maintenance: completing make-readies before new residents move in, keeping common areas clean and presentable, handling basic repairs, managing landscaping upkeep, and responding to emergencies according to established procedures. Pool service and maintenance is part of the regular rotation, so working knowledge there is a genuine requirement. You'll coordinate directly with the Maintenance Supervisor or Property Manager when issues exceed routine scope, which means clear communication is a practical skill you'll use constantly, not just a soft-skill checkbox.
What this role demands from day one is attention to detail during turns, basic mechanical competence, customer service instincts, and the physical stamina for 8 to 10 hour shifts on your feet with lifts up to 75 lbs. What it builds over time is a sharper eye for preventive maintenance, a stronger sense of how curb appeal and unit condition directly affect occupancy and resident retention, and familiarity with the systems and standards a large third-party operator runs at scale. Technicians who develop those instincts often move into lead maintenance roles or Maintenance Supervisor positions as portfolios grow.
One honest note about the work: student and conventional multi-family properties tend to generate concentrated maintenance demand around turn season. At a community this size, a well-executed punch list and tight make-ready process matter more than most residents ever realize. Technicians who take pride in a unit being genuinely move-in ready, not just visually acceptable, are the ones who stand out here.
Compensation is $23.00 per hour. Benefits include health, vision, and dental insurance, 15 days of PTO, 10 paid holidays, paid parental leave, a 401(k) with up to 6% company match, short-term disability coverage, and continued education and professional development programs.
