Unlike standard production maintenance jobs, it involves diverse responsibilities like pest control, snow clearing, and handling company vehicles, making it varied and community-focused.
While a valid Texas driver's license is mandatory, certifications like ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) can boost job prospects. Given the hands-on nature in Irving, additional qualifications in equipment maintenance or safety protocols are advantageous for career growth.
Locally, demand for skilled maintenance technicians is steady, but ResCare’s focus on community living and disability support creates specialized needs. Candidates with a versatile skillset and clear records have an edge due to the sensitive nature of client environments.

Technicians regularly handle snow and ice removal to guarantee safe access around facilities. Exposure to extreme temperatures requires adaptability, making physical stamina and readiness to manage diverse weather challenges part of the job's demands.
The position offers $20.00 per hour, aligning with Irving’s market for entry to mid-level automotive maintenance roles. This rate reflects the combined vehicle and facility maintenance duties, competitive within the local industry standards.
