About the Role

Northpoint Asset Management is hiring a dependable, detail-oriented Field Technician to support our Columbus portfolio across multiple properties.

This position is ideal for someone who is handy, organized, and able to work independently while communicating clearly with the team. There is room to grow into more advanced maintenance responsibilities over time.
