Job description

Foresight Recruitment Group is proud to partner with a growing, entrepreneurial real estate owner in the recruitment of an experienced Live-In Residential Superintendent.

This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of a newly converted, 119-suite luxury rental community as it welcomes its first residents. The successful candidate will play an important role in commissioning the property, establishing strong operating standards and creating an exceptional resident experience from day one.

This position is ideal for a hands-on residential professional who understands building systems, takes pride in presentation and enjoys being the person residents and ownership can rely on.

The Role

Reporting directly to the ownership team, the Live-In Residential Superintendent will oversee the day-to-day operation, maintenance, cleanliness and safety of the property.

You will become the on-site expert for the building: learning its systems, identifying concerns before they become larger problems, completing repairs within your capabilities and coordinating qualified contractors when specialized assistance is required.

This is a highly visible role requiring technical confidence, sound judgment and a genuinely service-oriented approach.

Key Responsibilities

• Complete routine repairs and maintenance within suites and common areas
• Perform basic plumbing, electrical, painting, patching and general repairs
• Conduct regular property inspections and identify maintenance, safety and presentation concerns
• Monitor building equipment and systems, including heat pumps, water and glycol systems
• Coordinate and oversee contractors, vendors and specialized trades
• Respond promptly and professionally to resident service requests
• Maintain clean, safe and exceptionally presented common areas
• Support building commissioning, deficiency resolution and initial occupancy
• Prepare vacant suites for new residents, including inspections, repairs and touch-ups
• Assist with resident move-ins and move-outs
• Maintain accurate records of work orders, inspections, repairs and supplies
• Respond calmly and appropriately to urgent building matters
• Support fire and life-safety inspections and procedures
• Complete snow clearing and seasonal exterior work as required
• Communicate building concerns, recommendations and updates directly to ownership

What You Bring

• Previous experience as a Residential Superintendent, Building Operator, Maintenance Technician or similar building-services professional
• Experience working in a residential rental, condominium, retirement or hospitality environment
• Strong hands-on maintenance and troubleshooting capabilities
• Working knowledge of mechanical, plumbing, electrical and life-safety systems
• The judgment to recognize when a licensed contractor or specialist is required
• Excellent resident-service and communication skills
• Strong attention to cleanliness, presentation and quality
• The ability to organize contractors, work orders and competing priorities
• Confidence working independently within a small, hands-on ownership environment
• A reliable, professional and solutions-focused approach
• Comfort using email, mobile applications and property-management systems
• The ability and willingness to live on-site in Oshawa

Experience opening, commissioning or stabilizing a newly constructed or converted residential property would be a significant asset.

Compensation and Benefits

• Base salary of approximately $55,000
• A fully provided two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment
• Annual health and wellness spending allowance
• The opportunity to take ownership of a brand-new luxury rental property
• Direct access to a supportive and entrepreneurial ownership team

This is more than a traditional superintendent position. It is an opportunity to help shape the resident experience, operating standards and long-term success of a distinctive new rental community.

If you are an experienced residential professional who takes pride in your building and treats the property as if it were your own, we would like to hear from you.
