$14.44–$18.45/hour, based on experience

Learn the trade while helping keep our community running.

Golden Years Homestead is looking for a dependable Maintenance Technician to help with the day-to-day upkeep of our senior living community.

If you have some hands-on experience, enjoy fixing things, or are interested in learning maintenance and building trades, this could be a good opportunity to get started. Previous maintenance experience is helpful, but we’re willing to train the right person.

What You’ll Do

Your day-to-day work may include:

  • Completing maintenance requests and work orders
  • Handling basic repairs and general building upkeep
  • Painting and touch-up projects
  • Floor care and other facility maintenance
  • Helping with landscaping and seasonal outdoor work
  • Keeping maintenance supplies, tools and equipment organized
  • Following safety procedures and keeping work areas safe

You’ll work as part of a team to help make sure residents and staff have a safe, clean and well-maintained community.

What You Need

  • High school diploma or GED
  • Valid driver's license
  • Reliable and willing to learn
  • Ability to perform hands-on maintenance and outdoor tasks
  • Maintenance, construction, landscaping or skilled-trade experience is a plus, but not required

Schedule

Monday–Friday, daytime hours

The position also includes rotating on-call evening and weekend coverage.

Why This Could Be a Good Fit

  • Entry-level friendly: Training is available for the right candidate.
  • Build practical skills: Gain experience with repairs, facilities, groundskeeping and other maintenance work.
  • Steady daytime schedule: Primarily Monday through Friday.
  • Meaningful work: Help maintain a comfortable and safe environment for seniors in your community.
  • Supportive team: Work alongside people who can help you develop your maintenance skills.

Ready to Get Started?

If you’re dependable, willing to learn and enjoy hands-on work, you don’t need years of maintenance experience to apply. Bring your work ethic and willingness to learn to Golden Years Homestead.
