Lead Maintenance Technician / Maintenance Manager

About Us

We are a growing property management company currently managing 100+ residential units, with plans to expand. We take pride in maintaining high-quality properties and running an organized, professional operation—both for our residents and our team.

Position Overview

This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for managing day-to-day maintenance across our portfolio. You’ll perform repairs, prioritize work orders, coordinate vendors, and help us continue building efficient systems as we grow.

This role offers a high level of autonomy—you’ll manage your own schedule and workflow—but it also requires strong accountability, communication, and follow-through.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform general maintenance and repairs (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, etc.)
• Manage and prioritize work orders across ~100+ units
• Schedule and direct other maintenance staff as needed
• Coordinate and oversee third-party vendors
• Complete unit turns and larger projects within expected timelines
• Conduct property inspections and identify preventative maintenance needs
• Communicate clearly with management on timelines, issues, and costs
• Maintain accurate, real-time records of work performed, materials used, and time spent

How We Operate

• Technicians manage and prioritize their own daily schedules
• Work is completed independently unless otherwise directed
• We run an organized system using AppFolio (work orders) and Workyard (time tracking)
• Clear communication and real-time updates using AppFolio are required

This role is not micromanaged—success here requires strong personal accountability and professionalism.

Performance Expectations

• Typical work orders completed within 1 week or less
• Full unit turns completed within ~2 weeks
• Average of 5+ tasks/jobs completed per day
• Work orders updated in real time (notes, time, materials) before leaving each property
• Time tracking reflects actual working hours

Qualifications

• 5+ years of maintenance experience (property management or residential preferred)
• Strong working knowledge of plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and general repairs
• Experience managing workload, vendors, or small teams
• Highly organized and able to work independently
• Comfortable using apps/software for tracking work (or willing to learn quickly)
• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record

Compensation & Benefits

• Up to $35/hour depending on experience, reliability, and performance
• Company-provided maintenance vehicle (take-home) + fuel card
• Company-provided cell phone and tablet
• Technician provides their own standard tools; company provides specialty equipment as needed
• Performance-based bonuses tied to efficiency and quality of work
• Opportunity to grow into a full Maintenance Manager role as the portfolio expands
• PTO
• Sick Time
• 401k

What We’re Looking For

• A self-motivated professional who takes ownership of their work
• Someone who values accountability, efficiency, and clear communication
• Reliable, consistent, and able to manage their time without constant oversight
• Interested in long-term growth—not just a short-term role

We run a professional, no-drama operation and are genuinely easy to work with—we’re looking for someone who values that and shows up the same way.
