At Percy, we're building new ways to connect talented professionals with meaningful career opportunities at leading companies in the multifamily industry. We're currently seeking a hands-on Maintenance Technician to support a brand-new apartment community in Trenton, NJ, with free on-site housing included.

This is a ground-floor lease-up opportunity where the first month will focus more on getting the site ready than heavy repairs: setting up the maintenance shop and office, learning building systems, and helping prepare for the first move-ins. After that initial setup period, you’ll transition into standard multifamily maintenance work orders and unit turns across a 100+ unit community.

If you'd like to be considered, please submit a resume for review.

Responsibilities

• Support new-community setup during the first 30 days, including basic site readiness, furniture/equipment setup, and systems learning

• Complete service requests and troubleshoot issues across electrical, plumbing, and general repairs

• Perform unit turns and help maintain curb appeal and common areas

• Coordinate supply runs and pickups as needed (Home Depot, parts vendors, etc.)

• Deliver strong customer service and professionalism once residents begin moving in

Qualifications

• 1+ year of hands-on residential maintenance experience (or adjacent facilities/maintenance background in hospital, hotel, or industrial settings)

• Working knowledge of electrical and plumbing (required)

• Valid driver’s license and access to an insured personal vehicle (required)

• Ability to live on-site after an initial 30-day introductory period (rent covered; utilities paid by employee)

• Must live within a reasonable commute of Trenton (about 30 to 45 minutes) during the first 30 days

Perks

• Total compensation range of approximately $62,000 per year (includes base pay plus the value of a fully covered on-site 1BR or 2BR unit); top end includes $21/hour base pay

• Free on-site 1BR or 2BR apartment after the initial 30-day period (rent covered; utilities paid by employee)

• Summer Fridays with an early close around 1pm (seasonal, based on workload)

• Fast interview process with two rounds (phone screen, then in-person)

• Full benefits package including all major insurance, 401k, and PTO
