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 experiencedFacilities 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. What you'll own 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. Specifically, you'll: 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. What you bring 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. Key performance indicators 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 Why Arise 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. #J-18808-Ljbffr
