Once you access the Spark Hire interview, you will have 3 days to complete and submit it. New to property management? That's okay. If you're mechanically inclined, enjoy troubleshooting and fixing things, and take pride in doing quality work, your skills and experience may transfer well to a career in apartment maintenance. Experience in construction, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliance repair, facilities maintenance, or other skilled trades can provide a great foundation for this role.
