Lead Maintenance Across Two Boutique Charlotte Communities

Are you a hands-on maintenance leader who enjoys solving problems, taking ownership, and seeing the impact of your work? Grubb Properties is seeking a Service Supervisor to lead maintenance operations at Link Apartments® CYKEL and The J. Two boutique Charlotte communities totaling fewer than 200 homes and located just three miles apart.

This isn't your typical large-community maintenance role. You'll lead maintenance across one established community and one new furnished micro-apartment lease-up, working alongside a full‑time Service Technician who supports both properties. You'll have the opportunity to help shape maintenance operations at a new community while maintaining the high standards and resident experience of an established property.

This could be a great next step for an experienced Senior Service Technician, Assistant Service Manager, or current Service Supervisor who is ready to take ownership, lead a small team, and make a visible impact.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Lead Maintenance Across Two Communities: Oversee day‑to‑day maintenance operations at Link Apartments® CYKEL and The J, partnering closely with the Property Manager and onsite team.
• Help Launch a New Community: Support the opening and lease‑up of a new furnished micro‑apartment community while maintaining high standards at an established property.
• Keep Everything Running: Troubleshoot and maintain HVAC, plumbing, electrical systems, appliances, building systems, and common areas across both communities.
• Own Work Orders & Turns: Prioritize service requests, preventative maintenance, inspections, and apartment turns to deliver responsive service and move‑in‑ready homes.
• Lead the Maintenance Team: Train and support maintenance team members, coordinate vendors, and ensure work is completed safely and to Grubb Properties standards.
• Protect the Properties: Maintain strong property appearance, identify maintenance needs early, and help preserve the long‑term condition of both communities.
• Manage the Details: Maintain tools, supplies, inventory, vendor relationships, and maintenance expenses while staying within budget.
• Be a Resident Hero: Build trust with residents through responsive communication, quality work, and a genuine commitment to their living experience.
• Lead Safety & Compliance: Ensure maintenance operations meet company safety standards and applicable requirements.

What You Bring:

• 3–5+ years of hands‑on multifamily or residential property maintenance experience.
• Previous experience leading maintenance operations, projects, vendors, or team members.
• CFC Type I & II required; Universal preferred.
• CPO license is preferred
• Strong knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliance repair, and general building maintenance.
• Strong troubleshooting, organizational, leadership, and communication skills.
• Ability to balance priorities across two nearby communities and take ownership of day‑to‑day maintenance needs.
• Yardi and HappyCo experience is a plus.

Physical & Work Requirements:

• Must be available for evenings/weekends for emergency maintenance
• Frequent walking, stair climbing, lifting (up to 50 lbs), and use of tools
• Works in office, residential, and outdoor settings
• Must have reliable transportation and a valid driver’s license

Benefits & Perks:

• Free medical insurance after 90 days for eligible employees
• Dental, vision, FSA, legal, and credit union plans available
• Over 3 weeks of PTO in your first year
• 12 paid holidays + volunteer time off
• 3% 401(k) contribution by the company after 6 months
• Tuition and education reimbursement
• Company‑paid life, AD&D, short‑and long‑term disability insurance
