Maintenance Supervisor

• Are you a hands‑on leader who likes being right in the middle of the action?
• Do you take pride in keeping properties running safely, smoothly, and looking their best?
• Are you someone others naturally look to for direction and problem‑solving?
• Do you enjoy mentoring a team while still rolling up your sleeves when needed?
• Do you thrive when things are organized, well‑maintained, and done the right way?
• Do you like variety from inspections and planning to repairs and resident interactions?
• Are you ready to take the next step in your maintenance career?

If this sounds like you, this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
