Assistant Maintenance Manager

Bozzuto operates a sizable portfolio of managed communities across the Mid-Atlantic, and this Assistant Maintenance Manager role sits at a property in Towson, MD. The title is assistant, but the job carries real weight. You'll work hands-on in the trades every day while also guiding the maintenance team's habits, standards, and output.

The core of the job is straightforward: keep the building running, protect the asset, and make sure residents get timely, quality service. That means diagnosing and resolving HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and appliance issues yourself, not just dispatching others. It also means owning the make-ready process so turns move efficiently and apartments hit the market on schedule. Preventative maintenance isn't an afterthought here. Bozzuto expects you to treat it as seriously as emergency repairs.

You'll also be responsible for grounds upkeep, snow removal, general cleanliness, and code compliance across the property. On-call rotation is part of the deal, including weekends. That's not a fine print detail. It's a core expectation of the role.

What separates strong candidates here is the combination of trade depth and leadership instinct. Someone who can fix a chiller and explain to a junior tech why a repair was done a certain way will outperform someone who's only strong in one direction. Bozzuto is a company that promotes from within, and an Assistant Maintenance Manager who builds a clean operation, documents well, and mentors effectively tends to move toward a Maintenance Manager or Chief Engineer title within a few years.
