CORE’s Commitment to Craftsmanship: Building a Culture of Growth and Learning in Maintenance

At CORE, maintenance goes far beyond repairs—it’s about cultivating skills, creating meaningful relationships, and finding pride in work well done. With $125B of property throughout the state and nearly 20M acres of land, our property management team delivers exceptional service with each property – whether residential, commercial, or historic – presenting an opportunity to learn and exceed expectations.

For Todd, a maintenance technician with CORE, his work is more than just a job. Reflecting on his nearly two years with the team, Todd describes how the position has given him not only technical expertise (how to lay flooring, solve electrical issues, even operate a boom lift) but also confidence. “The stuff you learn will forever help you in life,” Todd shared. “You’re not just growing your skills here; you’re figuring out how to use these skills to help others, whether on the job or in the wider community.” 

Todd’s journey at CORE exemplifies what our organization aims to offer our entire team: a path for continuous learning and development, no matter an employee’s starting point. Working as a maintenance tech isn’t without its challenges, but Todd credits the company’s supportive team dynamic for making the difficult moments manageable. “Whenever I come up against something I don’t know, I know I can rely on my team. CORE is all about trusting that you’ll figure it out, and if you can’t, your team is just a call away.” 

At CORE, we place a strong emphasis on collaboration, knowing that every team member brings unique strengths and insights that contribute to the success of the entire operation. It’s this foundation of trust and respect that makes CORE an exceptional place to grow a career. As Todd says, “Every day is a new adventure and on top of that, there’s great work/life balance – when the kids get sick, the team understands.”

The Department of Labor expects a 13% job growth for maintenance technicians by 2032, making this field both in-demand and secure. And the top factor that influenced trade workers to pursue a trade career? Work-life balance (43%)

With a robust industry outlook, opportunities for advancement, and a culture that values growth and collaboration, CORE is setting the stage for the next generation of skilled maintenance technicians to grow and succeed. For those interested in joining a team that prioritizes learning, respect, and a supportive work environment, CORE could be the perfect place to start your next career chapter.
