High paying repair and maintenance jobs in Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin, TN

Every repair and maintenance occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin, TN. Read the percentile range, not just the median: the gap between the 10th and 90th inside a single repair and maintenance job is usually wider than the gap between two different ones, so where you land in a field matters more than which field you pick.

Cost of living: prices in Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin, TN run 3.7% below the national average (2024), so a Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin, TN salary is worth about 1.04× its face value in national terms.
