Maintenance technician servicing a rooftop condensing unit on an apartment building — Integrity Staffing Group
Integrity Staffing Group recruits property maintenance technicians for apartment communities and commercial buildings across Metro Detroit.
This is the property role where our existing bench transfers most directly. We have screened EPA 608, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing technicians for industrial clients for decades, and the certifications and diagnostic questions are the same on a property — the building is different, the skill is not. The seat is also unforgiving. An open maintenance position shows up first in the work-order backlog and later in renewals, because residents remember who did not come fix the heat.

What a Maintenance Technician does on your property

A property maintenance tech closes work orders across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical, turns units for make-ready, runs preventive maintenance, and carries the on-call rotation.
Typical responsibilities we hire for
  • HVAC diagnostics, repair, and refrigerant work
  • Plumbing repair and drain clearing
  • Electrical troubleshooting and appliance repair
  • Make-ready unit turns and punch lists
  • Preventive maintenance and on-call rotation

Property Management Staffing — FAQ

It depends on certification level, on-call expectations, and pay against the local trades market. We scope the timeline at intake, and this is the property role where our industrial trades screening applies most directly.

How long does it take to place a maintenance technician?
It depends on certification level, on-call expectations, and pay against the local trades market. We scope the timeline at intake, and this is the property role where our industrial trades screening applies most directly.
Do you verify EPA 608 certification?
Yes, the certification and the type — I, II, III, or Universal. We ask the same refrigerant recovery and charging questions we have asked industrial HVAC candidates for years.
Can you cover on-call and after-hours rotation?
Yes. On-call is part of the intake conversation and part of the screen, because a tech who will not carry the phone is the wrong hire regardless of skill.
What about pool, boiler, or lead-safe work?
We screen for CPO pool operator, boiler operation, and EPA RRP lead-safe certification when a site needs them. Tell us at intake which ones are non-negotiable.
