Apartment Maintenance Manager - Mountain Gate & Trails

What You'll Actually Do

Mountain Gate and Trails is an AIR Communities property in Las Vegas, and this role puts you in charge of keeping it running. You'll lead a maintenance team, own the full scope of service operations, and report capital and maintenance needs up the chain. That means vendor management, preventive maintenance scheduling, apartment turns, and resident service requests all land on your desk. AIR runs a tech-forward maintenance operation, so you'll work with digital tools that are meant to increase the volume of work your team can handle each day without sacrificing quality.

Budget accountability is real here. You're expected to manage spend efficiently while holding quality steady, which is the perpetual tension of this job. You'll also carry compliance responsibility across AIR's operating procedures and Environmental Health and Safety requirements. Las Vegas is a market that doesn't slow down seasonally the way other regions do, so on-call rotations and flexible scheduling are part of the deal year-round.

Compensation runs $75,000 to $77,000 base, with a 15% target bonus opportunity plus quarterly customer satisfaction bonuses of up to $250 per month for managers who consistently deliver strong resident experiences. An on-site apartment discount is also available.

What You Bring

• At least three years of hands-on technical maintenance and facilities experience in property management
• One to three years leading a team in a customer service and asset maintenance environment
• Mechanical aptitude and comfort with physical work, including moving heavy equipment
• Ability to work evenings, weekends, and on-call shifts as needed
• Organized, solution-focused, and detail-oriented without needing to be told twice
• Reliable transportation

A Word on What Separates Strong Candidates

We've seen maintenance managers who are excellent technicians but struggle to develop their team, and others who are great with people but let the preventive maintenance schedule slip until small problems become capex surprises. The candidates who do well in roles like this one hold both. They run tight punch lists, stay ahead of turns, and still make time to train the person behind them. AIR invests in certifications and tuition reimbursement up to 100% for job-related credentials, which tells you something about how they view developing talent from within. If you've been a strong lead tech looking for your first or second shot at a supervisor title, this structure supports that move.

Benefits include medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, HSA/FSA options, short and long-term disability paid by the company, 401(k) with up to 6% employer match, up to 16 weeks paid parental leave, and 14 paid holidays plus vacation and sick time.
