At Cornerstone Companies, Inc., we know that high-performing properties depend on high-performing systems—and the people who maintain them.

For more than 35 years, we’ve supported growing, multi-state operations across 22 states—providing the infrastructure, leadership, and culture needed for teams to do their best work.

We are seeking a Roaming Maintenance Technician to provide temporary maintenance coverage across multiple medical office buildings within our maintenance portfolio. This role is ideal for a skilled, adaptable professional who thrives in dynamic environments, enjoys solving a wide range of building system challenges, and takes pride in keeping facilities safe, compliant, and fully operational.

If you value variety in your workday, enjoy both independent problem-solving and team collaboration, and understand the importance of operational continuity in healthcare environments—this role was built for you.

Character
We lead with integrity, accountability, and professionalism—especially when stepping in to support teams during critical coverage periods.
