Boner Neighborhood Centers (JBNC) is hiring an Entry-Level Maintenance Technician to help ensure our facilities—from multifamily housing units to community spaces—remain safe, functional, and welcoming. This is a great opportunity for someone with experience in maintenance and for someone who has picked up a lot of repair skills over life. Do you take care of you own home repairs?

- Appliances & Electrical: Conduct basic troubleshooting and minor repairs on common household appliances.
- Safety & Documentation: Maintain daily logs, inspect tools, and report equipment issues.
- On-Call & Emergency Response: Rotate on-call responsibilities with other maintenance technicians. Assist with urgent issues alongside senior maintenance staff, including snow removal and debris clean up.
