Apartment Maintenance Manager - Farrington Midtown

It's 7:30 on a Tuesday morning at Farrington Midtown and you've already got two work orders from overnight, a vendor running late on a make-ready, and a resident calling about a water heater. That's a normal Tuesday.

AIR Communities is hiring a Maintenance Manager for Farrington Midtown, a mid-rise apartment community in Atlanta's Midtown submarket. The compensation sits between $85,000 and $90,000 annually, with a 15% target bonus and quarterly customer service bonuses that can add up to $250 per month when resident satisfaction scores reflect it. An on-site apartment discount is also available for the right candidate.

What the Role Covers

This is a working leadership position. You'll oversee a maintenance team while staying involved in the day-to-day yourself. The scope includes apartment turns and make-readies, resident service requests, preventative maintenance scheduling, vendor coordination, and Environmental Health and Safety compliance. You'll also track capital needs and communicate them up to property leadership, and you'll manage your portion of the maintenance budget with an eye on both cost control and quality. AIR uses technology-forward maintenance systems, so comfort adapting to digital work order platforms matters here.

On-call responsibility is real in this role. Expect at least one week per month on rotation, plus occasional evenings and weekends based on community needs and seasonal demand. That's worth knowing upfront.

What AIR Is Looking For

• At least 3 years of hands-on technical maintenance and facilities experience in residential property management
• 1 to 3 years leading a maintenance or customer service team
• Strong mechanical aptitude with a practical, solution-focused approach to problems
• Ability to handle physical demands of the job, including moving heavy equipment
• Reliable transportation
• Flexibility for evenings, weekends, and on-call shifts
• English proficiency (read, write, speak)

The candidates who tend to do well in roles like this aren't just technically skilled. They know how to prioritize a full punch list when everything feels urgent, keep a team's morale steady during a heavy turn season, and still make individual residents feel like their service request matters. That combination is harder to find than it sounds.

AIR Communities offers a full benefits package including medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, company-paid short and long-term disability, a 401(k) with up to 6% employer match, up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave, tuition assistance, and 100% reimbursement for job-related certifications and licenses. The certification coverage is worth noting for anyone working toward HVAC, EPA 608, or similar credentials.

Applications are accepted through October 15, 2026, with earlier submissions reviewed first. Pre-employment screening includes reference checks, a four-panel drug screen (marijuana excluded), employment verification, and a background check.
