Traveling Maintenance Supervisor: Property Turn Expert

Redstone Residential; Provo (UT); On-site; USD 70,000 - 100,000; Full time

Job summary

Redstone Residential, based in Provo, UT, seeks a Traveling Maintenance Supervisor to lead hands-on maintenance across ~60 properties in Utah. You’ll deploy on short notice to cover staffing gaps, turns, and emergencies, building trust with new teams and delivering reliable results.

The role requires 5+ years in property maintenance, supervisory experience, and working knowledge of HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and life-safety systems.

Qualifications

• 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
