WHAT YOU'LL OWN

At J Street, the MaintenanceDirector is more than the leader of maintenance operations—you are the person responsible for how the community functions, feels, and performs from a service perspective.

You’ll lead the onsite service team, protect the physical asset, drive preventative maintenance and apartment readiness, and partner closely with the Community Director to deliver a resident experience built on responsiveness, quality, and follow‑through. This role combines hands‑on technical leadership with team development, operational discipline, and an ownership mindset.

Lead the Service Team

• Lead, train, schedule, supervise, and coach the onsite service team to create clear expectations, accountability, productivity, and positive team culture.
• Provide ongoing feedback, development, and hands‑on support so team members have the tools and knowledge to succeed.
• Lead by example in professionalism, safety, communication, urgency, and quality of work.

Drive Maintenance Operations

• Manage daily maintenance operations, including resident service requests, make‑readies, preventative maintenance, inspections, and emergency response.
• Conduct regular inspections of apartment homes, building systems, amenities, grounds, and common areas to proactively identify maintenance needs.
• Maintain an organized, well‑stocked, and safe maintenance shop in accordance with company procedures and applicable safety requirements.
• Monitor service workload, apartment turn progress, recurring repair trends, and property needs; communicate risks or barriers before they affect residents or operations.

Protect the Resident Experience

• Ensure service requests are completed timely, professionally, and with respect for the resident’s home and experience.
• Partner with the Community Director to resolve resident concerns, recurring service issues, and opportunities to improve resident satisfaction.
• Support resident retention and community initiatives through reliable service and well‑maintained apartment homes and amenities.

Own Vendors, Projects & Expenses

• Coordinate and oversee third‑party vendors and contractors; confirm scope, quality, completion, and compliance with company standards.
• Support capital improvements, special projects, and property initiatives in partnership with the Community Director and regional leadership.
• Manage service‑related purchasing, inventory, and expenses within approved parameters while balancing quality, urgency, and stewardship of property resources.

Safety, Compliance & Property Stewardship

• Ensure compliance with applicable OSHA requirements, Fair Housing requirements, property safety standards, and J Street policies and procedures.
• Maintain accurate work‑order records, safety documentation, supply inventories, key‑control systems, and other required service records.
• Identify and elevate significant life‑safety, building‑system, operational, or property concerns through the appropriate leadership channels.
• Participate in and lead the community’s on‑call and emergency‑response responsibilities as assigned.

Partner for Property Performance

• Work closely with the Community Director and regional leadership to support financial, operational, resident satisfaction and property performance goals.
• Communicate clearly regarding apartment readiness, service trends, vendor needs, capital needs, and operational risks.
• Bring an ownership mindset to the community by protecting the asset, developing the team, and following through on commitments.

WHAT YOU BRING

• High school diploma or equivalent required.
• 3–5 years of hands‑on maintenance experience in multifamily housing or facility operations.
• At least 1 year of supervisory or lead maintenance experience preferred.
• Certified Pool Operator (CPO) certification preferred, or ability to obtain as required by the community.
• Working knowledge of plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliances, carpentry, painting, building systems, and general maintenance practices.
• Ability to read blueprints, service manuals, safety documentation, and equipment specifications.
• Ability to safely operate tools and maintenance equipment and supply and maintain a basic personal tool set.
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation required.

ROLE REQUIREMENTS

• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs., climb ladders, bend, kneel, reach, and perform physical maintenance work.
• Ability to work indoors and outdoors in varying weather conditions.
• Availability to work weekends and holidays as scheduled and participate in the community’s on‑call rotation.
