Join a Property on the Rise
We're not your average apartment community looking for a body to keep things running. Fountains at Forestwood is a 39-acre community in the heart of Fort Myers and ownership is making a major investment in this property — millions of dollars going into a complete transformation.
Ownership is investing millions to transform the entire property:

If you've spent years being the only person on a team holding a property together, this is your chance to step into a community where ownership is putting capital where it matters and where your work will be visible every day. We're hiring a Maintenance Technician to be part of building something — not just maintaining it.
What Makes This Role Different
- Real ownership investment. Millions are being put into the property right now. You'll see the results of your work and the company's commitment side by side.
- Varied work, not just turn-and-burn. You'll work resident service requests, but you'll also be alongside the renovation team on property-wide upgrade projects. No two weeks look the same.
- A real team. We're hiring a dedicated Porter so the maintenance techs can focus on actual maintenance work — not picking up trash or watering flower beds.
- Direct line to ownership. Your ideas and concerns get heard. We're a property in transformation and the people doing the work are part of how we get there.
- Clear path forward. Lead Tech and Maintenance Supervisor opportunities for the right person.
What You'll Do
- Respond to and complete resident work orders: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliance repair, drywall, paint touch-ups, lock repairs, and general unit maintenance
- Complete unit turns to make-ready standard
- Preventive maintenance on HVAC systems, water heaters, and common-area equipment
- Diagnose and repair heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units; perform regular filter changes, coil cleaning, and system checks
- Minor to moderate plumbing: leak repairs, clog removal, fixture replacement
- Minor electrical: light fixtures, switches, outlets, and related work
- Work alongside our renovation team on property-wide upgrade projects
- Pool and common-area mechanical maintenance
- Paid on-call rotation for after-hours emergencies
- Maintain a safe work environment and follow safety protocols
What We're Looking For
- 2+ years of apartment maintenance experience OR equivalent trades experience (residential construction, facilities, hotel maintenance, commercial property)
- HVAC EPA Section 608 Certification required (Type II or Universal). If you don't have it but want to get it, we'll pay for the certification within your first 60 days.
- CPO (Certified Pool Operator) is a plus, not required
- CAMT (Certificate for Apartment Maintenance Technicians) is a plus
- Solid working knowledge of plumbing, electrical, and appliance repair
- Own basic hand tools
- Reliable transportation and valid Florida driver's license
- Ability to pass background check and drug screen
- Bilingual English/Spanish is a strong plus
- Comfortable working outdoors in Florida weather and lifting 50+ lbs
What We Offer
- Competitive hourly pay: $22–$28/hr based on experience and certifications
- Paid on-call rotation
- Paid time off and holidays
- HVAC certification reimbursement if you don't already have it
- Tool allowance program
- Steady, year-round work — not seasonal
- A property in active transformation, not stagnation
- Direct access to ownership and a clear advancement path
- Full participation in a community on its way up
