Job Description

Job Description

B5 Recruiting is recruiting on behalf of a large, established property management company in the Southeast for an experienced Maintenance Supervisor.

This is a hands-on leadership opportunity for someone who enjoys leading a maintenance team while remaining actively involved in the day-to-day maintenance and operations of a residential community.

Your Role:

As the Maintenance Supervisor, you’ll partner closely with the Property Manager to ensure the community is well-maintained, operating efficiently, and providing a positive experience for residents.

You’ll oversee daily maintenance operations - including service requests, apartment turns, preventive maintenance, vendor coordination, and grounds care- while providing hands-on technical support and leadership to the maintenance team.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead, train, and support maintenance technicians, maintaining high standards for safety, professionalism, and resident service.
• Coordinate daily maintenance operations, including service requests, apartment turns/make-readies, preventive maintenance, pool maintenance, and grounds care.
• Inspect apartments, common areas, and property grounds to identify maintenance needs and assign work accordingly.
• Walk units following move-outs and coordinate apartment turns and move-in readiness with the Property Manager.
• Prioritize and manage resident work orders with a goal of completing service requests within 24 hours.
• Provide hands-on troubleshooting and repairs across HVAC, plumbing, basic electrical, appliances, carpentry, drywall, roofing, flooring, and pool equipment.
• Coordinate vendors and contractors, including reviewing bids and monitoring work performed on the property.
• Manage maintenance inventory, tools, equipment, and supply orders.
• Maintain required SDS, OSHA, EPA, and other safety and compliance documentation.
• Support landscaping, grounds maintenance, and overall curb appeal.
• Communicate regularly with the Property Manager regarding property conditions, outstanding maintenance needs, resident concerns, and team performance.
• Participate in and help coordinate emergency and on-call maintenance coverage.

What We’re Looking For:

• High school diploma or GED.
• Previous apartment, multifamily, or residential property maintenance experience.
• Previous experience leading or supervising a maintenance team.
• Strong hands-on knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, basic electrical, appliance repair, carpentry, and general building maintenance.
• Experience with apartment turns/make-readies, work orders, and preventive maintenance.
• Ability to troubleshoot maintenance issues and determine when repairs can be completed in-house versus requiring an outside vendor.
• Strong organization, communication, and resident/customer service skills.
• Ability to prioritize multiple work orders and maintenance needs in a fast-paced residential environment.
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
• Own set of basic maintenance tools.
• CFC, CPO, EPA, and/or HVAC certifications preferred, but not required.

Why Consider This Opportunity?:

Our client offers the stability and resources of an established property management organization, along with opportunities to continue developing your technical and leadership skills:

• Training and development across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire safety, and other maintenance disciplines.
• Support for professional certifications and continuing education.
• Comprehensive benefits, including health insurance, life insurance, and 401(k) match.
• Generous paid time off.
• Opportunities for advancement within a large property management organization.
• Company-supported community involvement and charitable initiatives.
