About the Role

The Maintenance Supervisor oversees day-to-day maintenance operations to ensure the property is safe, functional, and well-maintained. This role is a hands-on, self-directed position requiring strong technical skills and the ability to problem solve and work independently.

The supervisor completes and oversees work orders, unit turns, troubleshooting, and preventative maintenance with minimal oversight. Technical expertise in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and general repairs is essential.

This position requires a self-starter who can diagnose issues efficiently and execute repairs correctly the first time.
