Maintenance Apprentice | Camden Foxcroft/Fairview

About the Role

Camden’s Maintenance Apprentice Program provides an exceptional gateway into one of the nation’s top multi-family management organizations. Camden will immerse each apprentice in the daily maintenance operations at one of our premier communities. Apprentices will be under the supervision of a seasoned Camden maintenance supervisor and paired with an outstanding property management team to achieve hands-on maintenance skills and exposure to the phenomenal Camden culture.

Each apprentice will learn and put into practice all facets of residential maintenance functions, customer service strategies, and community policies and procedures. Upon completion of the 6-12 week program, apprentices will be evaluated and, if deemed qualified, have the opportunity to be hired as a full-time employee in a maintenance role with Camden. Regardless, apprentices will gain valuable experience in all aspects of maintenance.
