As a Floating Service Technician, you'll provide maintenance support across multiple apartment communities throughout Bucks, Lehigh, and New Castle counties. Rather than traveling to several properties each day, you'll typically be assigned to one community for several weeks at a time before transitioning to another location as business needs require. This approach allows you to become part of the team, build relationships with residents and coworkers, and make a meaningful impact at each property.

At Berger, we're invested in your success. With our award-winning culture, strong values, and people-first approach, you'll have opportunities to grow your skills, advance your career, and make a meaningful impact on the communities you serve every day.

Pay & Benefits

• Health benefits start on the 1st of the month after just 30 days
• Medical, dental & vision
• Flexible spending accounts (medical & dependent care)
• Free short- & long-term disability insurance
• Free life insurance (with the option to buy more)
• 401(k) with company match

And there's more...

• Tuition assistance up to $4,000/year
• $1,000 employee referral bonus
• 15 PTO days + 1 volunteer day + paid holidays (including 2 floating holidays)
• 20% rent discount at any approved Berger community, starting on Day 1!

Location:

Based throughout New Britain, Dublin, Allentown, PA, and Wilmington, DE.

Schedule:

Full-time, Monday-Friday.

• Performing preventive maintenance and inspections
• Assisting with appliance, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and carpentry repairs
• Participating in snow removal and rotating on-call responsibilities
• Supporting multiple communities as needed throughout the portfolio
• Delivering outstanding customer service to residents and team members

What We're Looking For
