Are you skilled in drywall repair and enjoy hands-on maintenance work? AMLI Residential is looking for an experienced Make Ready Technician to join our maintenance team at AMLI West Plano.
For this opening, we are particularly interested in someone with strong drywall repair skills who can confidently patch, repair, texture, and prepare walls for painting. If drywall is one of your strengths and you also have general apartment maintenance or make-ready experience, we want to hear from you.
