Facilities Lead

Arise Equity Management is a multi-family housing company building strong communities across Texas, from Corpus Christi to Northwest Houston. We do more than manage apartments — we offer our residents and team members financial classes, credit-building resources, a food pantry, free books for children, and a genuine path to grow. We're guided by four core values: relationships, safety, integrity, and work ethic.

We're looking for an experienced

Facilities Lead
to take ownership of maintenance operations at our San Marcos community — an active, growing property in one of the fastest-developing submarkets between Austin and San Antonio. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can run a team, execute at a high standard, and thrive in a property with real momentum and a lot going on.

You’ll be responsible for all things maintenance at the property — the physical integrity of the community, the safety of every resident and team member, and the performance of your crew.

• Lead a team of four technicians
  — coaching, mentoring, scheduling, and holding the crew to Arise's standards for quality and safety.
• Direct make-readies
  to fast, high-quality completion so units get back to leasable condition and support our continued lease-up.
• Manage work orders end to end
  , keeping completion inside our 3-day target and staying ahead of resident needs.
• Run preventative maintenance and Hug-a-Building programs
  on schedule, protecting the asset and heading off problems before they start.
• Partner closely with our Capital Improvements team
  — San Marcos has significant capital work underway, and you'll need to coordinate around it, pick up the slack when timelines are tight, and jump in to help move projects forward.
• Coordinate vendors and contractors
  , manage parts and equipment inventory, and keep documentation and compliance tight.
• Champion our "Nobody Gets Hurt" safety culture
  through behavior-based leadership, stop-work authority, PPE and SDS compliance, and a clean, orderly worksite.

• Strong facilities/maintenance management experience across building systems and property operations.
• Proven team leadership — you can coach and develop technicians, not just direct them.
• Hands-on trade skills across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and carpentry, plus experience managing contractors.
• Solid administrative discipline: work order systems, scheduling, record-keeping, and reporting (Microsoft Office and property management software).
• A real commitment to safety and regulatory standards.
• Strong work ethic, integrity, and the ability to prioritize and respond fast when issues come up.
• High school diploma or equivalent required; HVAC certification is required and technical trainings a plus.
• Ability to perform the physical work of the role — lifting, carrying, and working indoors and out.

• Maintenance expenses within the community's budget
• Work order completion within 3 days of submission
• Make-ready completion within 5 days of move-out
• Monthly completion of preventative maintenance and Hug-a-Building work orders

This is a chance to lead maintenance at a property with genuine momentum — active lease-up, a live capital improvement program, and a company that invests in its people the same way it invests in its communities. If you take pride in running a tight operation, developing a team, and seeing a property transform, we want to talk.

• Arise Equity Management is an equal opportunity employer.
