Apartment Maintenance Technician

Salem Green Apartments is seeking a full-time Maintenance Technician to assist the Community Manager and property staff in maintaining and developing the operations of our 320-unit apartment community in Inver Grove Heights, MN.

You’ll need an eye for detail, a passion for fixing things, and a knack for problem solving.

Having home maintenance taken care of is a big reason people continue to rent, and our maintenance team is constantly getting shout‑outs in our online reviews and residents surveys. This means polite, professional communications skills are a must!

• Dental care options
• 401K with employer match (after 6 months of employment)
• Fun employee and community events
• Opportunity to live on site (with access to premium amenities)

On‑site living reduces commute times and work costs for our staff, allowing them to focus on what matters – spending time with family, pursuing hobbies and interests, and enjoying life!

We are looking for someone with a positive attitude, genuine desire to do a good job, and an eagerness to learn; someone with a superior work ethic who enjoys fostering and building relationships; someone who takes pride in their daily work; and someone who is detail‑oriented and goes the extra mile.
