CommonBond Communities: Maintenance Technician Ii

Home is the foundation for everything in life.

Since 1971, our model has been about supporting residents in finding stability and achieving their goals.

It’s why we’re more than housing—we combine quality affordable homes with our on-site Advantage Services—because we believe that with the right support and opportunities, all people can thrive.

Today, over 13,000 people—families, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities and other barriers—call a CommonBond community “home.” Our core values are Respect, Integrity, Partnership, Innovation, and Excellence.

We live these values and look for people who embody them to represent our organization in the community.
