About the Role

We are seeking a high-performing, hands-on Regional Maintenance Leader to support and elevate our property maintenance operations across multiple locations. This role is ideal for a leader who leads by doing—someone who can roll up their sleeves, coach others in real time, and help on-site teams achieve excellence in maintenance, safety, compliance, and resident satisfaction. The Regional Maintenance Leader is a boots-on-the-ground resource, working directly with community maintenance teams to strengthen skillsets, improve performance, and ensure our properties are always inspection-ready. This role does not have direct reports but has a significant leadership impact through coaching, mentorship, and example-setting.

• Hands-On Maintenance & Technical Support: Perform general and advanced maintenance tasks, including HVAC troubleshooting and repair, plumbing, electrical, and structural systems. Serve as a technical expert for on-site teams, assisting with repairs when properties are short-staffed or facing complex issues.
• Training, Coaching & Team Development: Onboard and train new maintenance technicians to ensure they meet performance expectations. Provide ongoing in-person coaching to maintenance teams, reinforcing best practices, work quality, communication, and efficiency.
• Special Projects & Operational Support: Lead special maintenance projects by assessing property needs, executing repairs, or coordinating with vendors and contractors to improve safety, compliance, and resident quality of life.
• Utility Conservation And Cost Control: Monitor utility dashboards to identify consumption trends and opportunities to reduce waste. Support on-site teams in reducing water consumption and fixing leaks.
