Description

Junior Maintenance Apprenticeship Program

Paid | 6–14 Weeks | Grand Rapids, MI - Kentwood, MI

Launch a real career in the skilled trades, not just a job.

At Monarch Investment & Management Group, we don’t offer short-term gigs, we build long-term careers. Our Junior Maintenance Apprenticeship Program is designed for people who are serious about learning the skilled trades and want to turn hands-on training into a future in multifamily maintenance.

If you’re currently in a trade program, technical school, or certification track or recently completed one, this is your opportunity to step into real properties, real systems, and real responsibility alongside experienced professionals.

Why Monarch: Monarch is one of the largest privately owned multifamily housing companies in the country, operating more than 78,000 apartments across 25 states.

We do everything in-house, maintenance, capital projects, property management, HVAC, roofing, rehab, painting, accounting, training, and more. That means you won’t be standing on the sidelines but you’ll be learning from the teams who actually run and maintain our communities.

What You’ll Learn: As a Junior Maintenance Apprentice, you’ll work directly with Monarch’s Maintenance Supervisors and Roving Crews while gaining hands-on experience in:

• Apartment and building maintenance
• Unit “turns”, the apartment make-ready process
• HVAC, plumbing, electrical, gas, irrigation & building systems
• Preventive maintenance and capital planning
• Work order management and resident service
• Property and safety inspections
• Shop organization and tool management
• OSHA and safety compliance
• Yardi, Leading Industry Software
• Pool and snow removal operations (where applicable)
• Working with third-party contractors

This is not classroom learning or just watching another but real-world, boots-on-the-ground experience in live communities.

Who This Program Is For: We are looking for individuals who are:

• Currently enrolled in or recently completed a trade program, technical school, certification, or degree program
• High school students with a strong interest in the trades will be considered
• Interested in HVAC, building maintenance, or skilled trades
• Motivated, reliable, and ready to learn

Program Details:
