Asset Preservation Manager

AU Associates is an award-winning real estate developer and property management company specializing in affordable housing and the preservation of historic properties throughout Kentucky and surrounding states. We believe that quality housing strengthens communities, and we're looking for an experienced leader to help protect our investment in the communities we serve.

We're seeking an Asset Preservation Manager to lead our portfolio-wide asset preservation strategy through capital planning, project management, preventative maintenance, and operational leadership.

• Coordinate projects with Property Managers, Regional Managers, and Executive Leadership.
• Conduct annual property inspections and recommend capital improvements.
• Manage project budgets, schedules, contractor performance, and vendor relationships.
• Develop maintenance standards and portfolio-wide preventative maintenance programs.
• Monitor technician performance using RealPage KPIs and reporting tools.
• Assist with annual budgeting, reserve planning, and capital forecasting.
• Troubleshoot complex maintenance and building system issues.
• Manage AU Services operations, including landscaping, seasonal maintenance, and snow removal planning throughout Central Kentucky.
• Assist properties with REAC, NSPIRE, finance agency, and investor inspections.
• Collaborate with leadership to develop long-term asset preservation strategies that maximize the value of our portfolio.
