Maintenance Manager

Maintenance Manager

Full-Time | Grand Forks, ND

Salary: $70k

Are you a hands-on maintenance leader who takes pride in keeping a property running safely, efficiently, and at its best?

We’re looking for a Maintenance Manager to lead the maintenance team at a busy hospitality property. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys solving problems, developing people, staying ahead of preventative maintenance, and taking ownership of the overall condition of a property.

Fun fact: This property includes multiple restaurants, bars, and entertainment spaces, so there is always something happening and the maintenance team plays an important behind-the-scenes role in keeping it all running.

What you'll do

• Lead, schedule, train, coach, and develop the maintenance team
• Set daily priorities and assign work based on urgency and operational needs
• Oversee preventative maintenance, repairs, and work orders
• Conduct regular property inspections and address safety or maintenance concerns
• Respond quickly to guest-impacting maintenance issues
• Keep guestrooms, public areas, back-of-house areas, grounds, equipment, and building systems operating properly
• Work closely with Guest Services and Housekeeping to get rooms back into service quickly
• Partner with Food & Beverage to minimize equipment downtime and support daily operations and events
• Monitor preventative maintenance completion, work-order backlogs, recurring issues, and repair needs
• Manage parts, supplies, tools, inventory, vendors, and purchasing
• Monitor maintenance spending and help control unnecessary costs
• Identify larger repair and improvement needs and communicate them to leadership
• Maintain life-safety systems and emergency procedures
• Participate in department-head meetings and contribute to overall property operations
• Assist with hiring, onboarding, training, and development of maintenance team members

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone who can lead a team, solve problems, and take ownership.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Previous experience in maintenance, facilities, building operations, or a related field
• Previous leadership or supervisory experience
• Experience with preventative maintenance programs
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• The ability to prioritize multiple issues in a busy environment
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Knowledge of workplace safety and life-safety practices
• Experience working with vendors, inventory, purchasing, or maintenance budgets
• A hands-on approach and willingness to jump in when needed
• The ability to work effectively with people across multiple departments

This role is for you if you:

• Like being hands-on rather than sitting behind a desk all day
• Take pride in keeping a property safe, functional, and well-maintained
• Enjoy leading, coaching, and developing a team
• Stay calm when something breaks and know how to prioritize what needs to happen next
• Naturally look for ways to prevent problems instead of constantly reacting to them
• Can balance people, priorities, budgets, and unexpected issues
• Take ownership and follow through
• Like working in an environment where every day can look a little different

Why this role matters

Maintenance touches nearly every part of the property. When rooms are ready, equipment is working, repairs are handled quickly, and safety systems are in place, guests may never see the work happening behind the scenes.

That's exactly what makes this role important.

We're looking for someone who takes pride in making sure the property is safe, functional, well-maintained, and ready for business every day.

If you're an experienced maintenance professional ready to lead a team and take ownership of a busy property, we'd like to hear from you.
