Temporary General Maintenance Director

2 weeks ago

Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States Equity Residential Full time

Our General Maintenance Directors are a key part of each community's success, responsible for overseeing our most challenging, complex assets: often our top NOI drivers, mixed-use, and/or multi-site.

They are our facilities leaders who provide the technical know-how behind each apartment community and provide guidance and training to the maintenance team.

From HVAC to plumbing to a fresh coat of paint, General Maintenance Directors have a hand in every apartment and every resident's satisfaction.

As General Maintenance Director, your superior organizational skills and attention to detail will be utilized to attend to residents' needs and manage service requests and apartment turnovers to ensure the work is performed timely — all while leading by example by modeling Equity's standards and managing the budget.

Your strong technical skills will be utilized to identify and diagnose problems and perform a variety of service requests.


At Equity, being a manager is much more than sitting behind a desk directing others; we believe in leading by example and walking in the shoes of the people you manage.

Each day, you will spend your days out and about with your team, implementing scheduled maintenance, responding to service requests, managing vendors, and communicating and building rapport with residents.

As a General Maintenance Director, you will be among our most senior property leaders.

You will be an expert on your community, working along with and directing a team of maintenance professionals to ensure it is in excellent condition for our residents.

Organized and Accountable.

You have exceptional time management abilities and are able to juggle the needs of changing priorities at the community while accomplishing objectives through training and motivating a high-performing team.


WHAT YOU'LL DO
Lead, train, and motivate a high-performing team. Communicate job expectations, coach service team, and monitor your team's performance against company goals. Provide feedback for improvement and guidance in defining career paths and professional development plans.

Manage service requests.

You'll use our mobile technology to assign all incoming service requests to your team, taking into account each individual's skills, workload, and learning opportunities.

You'll also work alongside your team, performing both routine and complex repairs.

Repair and enhance your community.

You'll be responsible for repairing or maintaining all plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliance, carpentry, and painting needs at the community, providing training to other team members as needed.

Implement and manage a scheduled maintenance program.

Create and maintain a make-ready schedule. You'll monitor apartment vacancies daily and initiate the turnover process with painting, cleaning and repairing.

Build rapport with residents.

You'll make positive connections with residents by offering a smile and a greeting when you see them and chatting as you make repairs in their homes.

Notice the details.

Complete daily property walks and regular community inspections to proactively recommend necessary repairs or replacement of any interior or exterior areas on the property.

Partner with the Community/General Manager in preparing annual budgets. Monitor expenditures in accordance with the established guidelines.

Manage all service contracts and vendors. Assist in the selection of various vendors in regards to value and budget.
