Maintenance Technician - The Landing at College Square Apartments

What You'll Actually Do

The Landing at College Square is a 200-plus unit apartment community in Sacramento, and this role covers the full scope of day-to-day maintenance operations. You'll handle service requests across all trades: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliance repair, and painting. Turns are a regular part of the workload, so comfort with make-ready punch lists and moving units back to rent-ready condition efficiently matters here. Grounds, common areas, and office spaces are part of your daily rounds as well.

On-call rotation is part of the job. Sacramento summers push HVAC systems hard, and after-hours calls during a heat wave are a real part of this role, not an occasional footnote. Reliable transportation is required since the on-call expectation is genuine.

MG Properties has operated across the Western U.S. for over 30 years, with a portfolio that spans acquisition, development, rehab, and ongoing management. They run their own maintenance operations in-house rather than relying heavily on outside vendors, which means technicians here carry real responsibility and see a wide variety of work.

What You Bring

• At least 2 years of apartment maintenance experience, ideally on a property of 200 units or more
• Hands-on competency across plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems
• Comfort with appliance repair and unit turns from start to finish
• A service-oriented approach with residents: how you communicate when something breaks matters as much as how fast you fix it
• Ability to work within a team and adapt when priorities shift mid-day
• Reliable transportation for on-call coverage

Compensation and Context

Pay runs $22 to $25 per hour depending on experience, with monthly bonuses and company profit sharing on top of base wages. The benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) with employer match, paid holidays, sick time, and rental discounts. That last item is worth noting: techs who live on-site or nearby tend to respond faster on call, and the discount makes it a practical option.

For technicians who want a path forward, in-house maintenance roles at regional operators like MG Properties often lead to lead tech or maintenance supervisor positions as portfolio experience accumulates. Demonstrating consistent turn quality, strong resident satisfaction scores, and the ability to mentor newer staff are the things that move that trajectory along fastest.
