Job description

Redstone Residential is a national student and multi-family housing operator, managing more than 38,000 beds across 20 states. We are one of the largest third-party student housing management companies in the U.S. - and we're just getting started. Our rapidly growing conventional housing portfolio reflects our ambitious, forward-thinking approach to real estate management. Headquartered in Provo, Utah, we combine industry-leading systems with a high-energy culture to deliver exceptional property performance and resident experiences.

Redstone's purpose is \"to empower our people and elevate communities\".

• We Are Believers


• We Communicate Authentically with Care


• We Stay The Course


• We Drive Performance

Do you like walking into a property you've never seen before and figuring out, within hours, exactly what it needs? Are you just as comfortable diagnosing a rooftop HVAC unit as you are coaching a nervous new tech through their first work order? Does \"no two days look the same\" sound less like a warning and more like a perk?

If you're nodding along, this might be your next move.

Why Redstone?

At Redstone, we're not just a property management company.

We're a culture company that happens to manage properties.

Our purpose: To empower our people & elevate communities.

Our vision: To create a high-performing, people-first culture that attracts, develops, and empowers team members to thrive.

Our vibe: Energetic. Fun. Creative. Growth-minded. People-first. Performance-driven.

The Opportunity

We're hiring a Traveling Maintenance Supervisor to be Redstone's go-to, hands-on maintenance leader across our roughly 60 properties in Utah, Salt Lake, and Davis Counties.

You'll report to the National Director of Facilities and deploy to properties as needs arise — covering staffing gaps, turn season, performance turnarounds, and emergencies. One week you might be running a compressed student housing turn; the next, stabilizing a Class C, value-add property with a maintenance backlog. This role is built for someone who reads a property fast, builds trust with an unfamiliar team even faster, and genuinely enjoys the variety.

This Role Is Perfect For Someone Who

• Gets energized by a new property and a blank slate, not overwhelmed by it


• Can walk a site for the first time and know within days what needs to happen first


• Is equally comfortable doing the repair themselves and coaching someone else through it


• Moves easily between Class A amenity‑rich communities and Class C, value‑add properties with deferred maintenance


• Stays composed when something breaks at 9pm on a Friday


• Builds credibility with a new team fast, without needing weeks to settle in


• Is genuinely up for the travel — new property, new team, new priorities, on short notice

What You'll Own

• Deploy to properties, often on short notice, to provide interim maintenance leadership during staffing gaps, turn season, or performance turnarounds


• Assess property condition, work order backlogs, preventive maintenance compliance, and life‑safety systems within days of arrival, and build a prioritized action plan


• Personally perform and/or supervise skilled trades work — HVAC, electrical, plumbing, appliance repair, carpentry, and general maintenance — across buildings of every age and condition


• Lead unit turn execution for both compressed student housing timelines and rolling conventional multifamily turns


• Train, coach, and mentor on‑site maintenance technicians and supervisors on Redstone's maintenance standards, safety protocols, and work order practices


• Audit and improve work order close rates, response times, and preventive maintenance compliance at every property you visit


• Adjust your approach to the property in front of you — Class A amenity‑rich communities need a different playbook than Class C, value‑add properties with deferred maintenance


• Coordinate with Community and Regional management to communicate property condition, risks, and resource needs


• Respond to emergency maintenance situations — life‑safety issues, weather events, major system failures — across the portfolio


• Keep every property in compliance with OSHA standards and applicable state and local codes


• Coordinate and oversee third‑party vendors for scopes beyond in‑house capability


• Document work performed, parts and materials used, and property condition for every assignment

Who You Are

You're a problem-solver at your core: hand you an unfamiliar property, and you'll have a plan by the end of the week.

You Bring

• 5+ years of hands‑on property maintenance experience, including at least 2 years in a supervisory or lead maintenance capacity


• Experience across multiple property classes (A, B, and C); experience in both conventional multifamily and student housing strongly preferred


• Working knowledge of HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general building systems, with the ability to diagnose and repair equipment of any age or manufacturer


• A track record of assessing unfamiliar properties fast and prioritizing effectively with limited ramp‑up time


• Strong leadership and communication skills, with experience training or mentoring maintenance staff


• A valid driver's license, an acceptable driving record, and genuine willingness to travel


• The ability to work independently and adapt quickly to different property teams, cultures, and expectations on short notice


• Proficiency with work order management systems (Entrata experience a plus) and general computer/mobile applications


• A high school diploma or equivalent; relevant trade school or technical certification a plus


• English fluency

Bonus Points If You Have

• EPA 608 Universal Certification


• Certified Pool Operator (CPO)


• Trade‑specific licensure or certification (HVAC, electrical, or plumbing)


• Prior experience supporting student housing turn processes on compressed timelines

Classification & Schedule

• Department: Facilities Management.


• Reports to the National Director of Facilities.


• FLSA classification: Exempt


• Compensation: $75,000 - $85,000 annually

Location, Travel & Work Environment

This is a field‑based role with extensive travel — often on short notice — across Redstone's Utah, Salt Lake, and Davis County portfolio. Availability for on‑call and emergency response is expected, including evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed.

The work is physical and varied: climbing ladders, working at heights, and accessing roofs, crawl spaces, and mechanical rooms; working outdoors in all weather; frequent bending, kneeling, standing, and walking throughout the day. You'll need to be able to lift and carry up to 50 lbs regularly, and 75+ lbs occasionally.

Why You'll Love Working at Redstone

• Health, vision, and dental insurance


• 401(k) with up to 6% company match


• Flex PTO and 10 paid holidays


• Gym membership


• Discounted phone plan


• 3 paid service days per year


• Paid parental leave


• Professional development support


• Employee assistance program


• A people-first culture that walks the talk

At Redstone, you'll have the opportunity to shape the maintenance experience across a wide swath of our portfolio, sharpen your skills across every property class we operate, and do meaningful work that empowers others.
