Maintenance Technician

AWARD-WINNING. MEANINGFUL WORK. A BUILDING THAT'S BEEN HOME TO JACKSON COUNTY FOR OVER 185 YEARS.

Maintenance Technician — Full-Time | 11:30 AM – 7:30 PM | Valid Michigan Chauffeur's License Required

This isn't just a maintenance job. It's a place with a 185-year story — and we want you to be a part of it.

Jackson County Medical Care Facility has been serving Jackson County for over 185 years. We are a 194-bed, county-owned skilled nursing facility with a simple mission: You are why we're here. The people we interact with every day — our residents, their families, and our CarePartners — are why we exist. A legacy is only as strong as the stories behind it. And we mean that: Let's continue your story together!

A well-maintained, safe, and comfortable building is an act of care — and the Maintenance Technician is on the front line of that every single shift. In this role, you will also serve as a resident transport driver, safely transporting residents to medical appointments in our wheelchair van and bus. You are often the first and last face a resident sees on one of their most important days. The way you show up matters.

We have been named one of America's Best Nursing Homes by Newsweek five years running, ranking in the top 20 in Michigan each year. We have also earned a U.S. News Best Nursing Homes 2025 designation and an AHCA Bronze Quality Award in 2023 & 2026.

Our residents say it best:
"Staff evolved into friends." — Susan
"Can't imagine getting better care anywhere else." — Neil
"I wouldn't recommend anywhere else — this place is the best!" — David

You will respond to work orders, support preventive maintenance programs, and troubleshoot issues across building systems.
