Maintenance Technician- Pallas Townhomes and Apartments

It's 7:30 a.m. on a Monday and the service request queue already has six tickets from the weekend. A resident's garbage disposal quit Friday night, another unit has a slow drain, and there's a turn to punch out before the new resident moves in Thursday. That's a normal morning at Pallas Townhomes and Apartments in Beaverton, OR, and MG Properties needs a Maintenance Technician who hits the ground running.

What the Job Actually Involves

MG Properties manages apartment communities across the Western U.S. and has been doing it for over 30 years. Pallas is a 200-plus unit property, so the workload is real. You'll work through a daily service request queue covering plumbing, electrical, appliances, HVAC, and general repairs. You'll handle make-ready turns, which means inspecting vacant units, building a punch list, and getting them rent-ready on schedule. Grounds, common areas, and office spaces are part of your territory too. On-call rotation means you take after-hours emergency calls on a shared schedule, so you need reliable transportation and the ability to respond when something goes sideways at 10 p.m.

Customer interaction is a constant. Residents see maintenance staff more than they see anyone else from the management team. A calm, professional approach to service requests matters as much as your technical skills.

What You Need to Bring

• At least 2 years of apartment maintenance experience, preferably at a property of 200 units or more
• Working knowledge across multiple trades: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and appliance repair
• Ability to work on-call rotation and respond to emergencies
• Reliable personal transportation
• Team-oriented mindset and a customer-first attitude

MG Properties offers monthly bonuses, company profit sharing, a 401(k) with employer match, and medical, dental, and vision coverage. PTO, paid holidays, personal days, paid sick time, and a rental discount program are also part of the package.

One thing that separates strong candidates in this role: the ability to triage. On a busy property, not every request is urgent and not every urgent request is what the resident thinks it is. Technicians who can assess quickly, communicate clearly, and sequence their day without constant direction tend to stand out fast. If you've worked turns under deadline pressure and managed a service queue independently, you're already ahead of most applicants.
