- HVAC certification required.
- Ability to work weekends, overtime, and flexible hours during peak seasons like summer turn.
- Ability to climb ladders and lift heavy objects as needed.
- Basic computer skills for work order management and reporting.
- Must have your own tools.
What You’ll Do:
- Lead and train maintenance staff to ensure coverage and efficiency.
- Schedule and complete work orders promptly, responding to resident requests within 24 hours.
- Inspect apartments, common areas, and grounds to maintain a clean, safe, and well-functioning community.
- Oversee make-ready preparations, move-ins, and move-outs.
- Manage maintenance inventory, supplies, and vendor relationships.
- Ensure compliance with safety regulations (OSHA, EPA) and maintain proper logs.
- Provide on-call support as needed and help the team handle emergency situations.
- Participate in daily, weekly, and monthly planning to stay ahead of property needs.
- Plan and lead summer turns, including staffing, scheduling, vendor coordination, inspections, and deadlines.
- Manage high-volume make-readies during turn season and ensure units are delivered on time and to standard.
- Support large move-in days by being onsite, visible, and ready to solve issues quickly.
- Work closely with the Community Manager and Leasing team during peak seasons to support leasing and resident satisfaction.
Education & Experience:
- Associate degree or equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Experience maintaining mechanical systems and performing repairs.
Why Join Us:
- Lead a small, skilled team in a fast-paced student housing environment.
