Maintenance Technician job postings: what employers ask for (2026)
This page reads every active posting whose normalized title is Maintenance Technician across the ten boards JobsPipe collects and reports what those employers ask for: the seniority they target, whether the role is remote, whether pay is disclosed, the skills named in the text, and the industries, countries and company sizes behind the postings.
<0.5% of these postings are marked remote, 38.4% state a salary or range, the most common seniority label is mid level at 19.6%. Postings with no seniority label are counted in the denominator, so the seniority shares do not sum to one.
Who the postings are aimed at
Seniority is read from the posting’s own label where one exists. Postings without a label stay in the denominator, so these shares describe how often each level is stated, not the full mix.

FAQ
What share of maintenance technician job postings are remote?+

How many maintenance technician postings disclose salary?+
38.4% state a salary or a range in the posting text or structured fields. Disclosure varies more by board and by jurisdiction than by role, so compare the figure with the board-level shares on the sources pages before reading it as a market signal.

The most named skills are communication (33.4%), compliance (18.4%), customer-support (15.2%), osha (15.1%), teamwork (13.5%). Skills are extracted from the posting text against a curated lexicon, and a posting counts once per skill it names, so the shares overlap.
