Apartment Maintenance Technician – Paint & Unit Turns

If you take pride in a clean-cut line, we'll notice.

Plenty of places will hand you a roller and tell you to cover the wall. We're looking for someone who knows the difference between a patch that disappears and one you can still find six months later—who can match a texture, scrape and retexture a popcorn ceiling, and hand back a unit that looks new rather than touched up.

Turns are how a community stays leased, and paint is the first thing a prospect sees. At The Park at Sunderland Apartments, a 268-unit community in Birmingham, that finish quality is yours to own.

This is an apartment community, not a paint crew. Between turns you'll take the plumbing call, swap the appliance, and handle whatever the day brings.

What we pay and provide

• $22.00 – $25.00/hour, based on experience
• All tools, sprayers, uniforms, and PPE provided — you don't buy or haul your own
• Health insurance
• 10 days paid time off, 4 days sick leave, plus paid holidays
• Rent discount on-site

Schedule

Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM. On-call rotation for after-hours emergencies, shared across the team.

Paint and finish work — your primary focus

• Interior and exterior painting for units, hallways, clubhouses, and common areas
• Surface prep: patching, sanding, caulking, taping, priming
• Drywall repair—holes, cracks, water damage—finished smooth and paint-ready
• Texture matching and retexturing so repairs blend into existing surfaces
