About the Role:
We’re seeking a hands-on Maintenance Manager — a working leader who can diagnose, repair, and maintain all building systems in a luxury condominium environment.
This is not a desk or purely supervisory position — we’re looking for someone who thrives on solving problems, using their tools, and leading by doing.

Key Responsibilities:

• Plan, manage, and coordinate between staff and management
• Perform and lead daily maintenance, repairs, and troubleshooting of building systems, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, lighting, fire/life safety, and general facilities upkeep.
• Serve as the on-site building engineer, personally performing technical work alongside the team.
• Oversee preventive maintenance programs and respond quickly to resident or property issues.
• Manage vendors and contractors for specialized work, ensuring quality, cost control, and code compliance.
• Maintain full safety and regulatory compliance with local, state, and federal requirements.
• Proactively identify issues and execute repairs to protect assets and minimize downtime.
• Motivate, mentor, and lead maintenance staff — demonstrating excellence through action.

Requirements:

• Hands-on technical experience in building or facility maintenance (not just administrative or managerial).
• FBC, NEC, and NFPA compliance
• Strong working knowledge of HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and building automation systems.
• Ability to read schematics, use diagnostic tools, and perform repairs independently.
• Excellent organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Experience in condos, hotels, or luxury residential properties strongly preferred.
• EPA, HVAC, or other technical certifications are a plus.

Why You’ll Love This Role:

• Be the go-to expert keeping a luxury property running at its best.
• Work with a professional, supportive team that values skill, reliability, and pride in craftsmanship.
• Competitive compensation and the opportunity to make a visible, daily impact.
