Tennessee Property Management Solutions is hiring a full-time Apartment Maintenance Technician to keep 350+ residential units across East Tennessee safe, functional, and rent-ready. You'll handle routine plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and appliance repairs, complete unit turns between residents, respond to work orders from tenants and the management team, and document everything in Appfolio the same day. This is a field role based out of Greeneville — you'll run your own route across multiple properties, prioritize by urgency, and work with minimal supervision. We're looking for someone with residential maintenance experience, a reliable truck and tools, and the judgment to know when to fix it and when to call a vendor. $30–$35/hour, plus PTO and mileage reimbursement.
TNPMS is seeking an Apartment Maintenance Technician to service rental units across our managed portfolio. The ideal candidate will be responsible for the overall maintenance and upkeep of our properties, providing a safe and comfortable living environment for our residents. This is a field position — you'll manage your own route across multiple properties rather than sitting at one site all day.
