Assistant Maintenance Manager

Bozzuto has built a reputation in the mid-Atlantic multifamily market for operating properties where the physical condition of the building reflects the same care residents feel from the leasing team. That standard doesn't maintain itself. It takes someone in a role like this one, an Assistant Maintenance Manager who treats the building as if they built it and who can hold a team to that same standard every single day.

This position sits at Alexandria, VA, and it's genuinely a dual role. You're doing hands-on technical work across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and appliance repair, and you're also supervising others and modeling the behaviors that keep a community running at a high level. If you've spent years in the trades but haven't yet had a formal supervisory title, this is the kind of role where that leadership aptitude gets developed and demonstrated simultaneously. You'll run the make-ready process, manage turns with the attention to detail that keeps units off the market for as few days as possible, and execute preventative maintenance programs that protect the asset's long-term value. Grounds upkeep, snow removal, safety code compliance, and participation in the emergency on-call rotation are all part of the work.

What separates a strong candidate here from an average one isn't just technical range, though you do need solid depth across the trades. It's the ability to walk a punch list and communicate findings clearly, coach a technician without micromanaging, and follow up on a resident service ticket before the resident has to ask twice. Bozzuto's culture is built around that kind of accountability, and this role is one of the places where it's most visible.

What you bring

• 5 or more years of experience in the trades, facilities, or residential building maintenance
• HVAC, EPA, or NAPE certification
• Working knowledge of OSHA standards, risk management, and MSDS
• Proficiency across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and appliance repair
• Basic carpentry, drywall, and painting skills
• Familiarity with complex mechanical systems such as boilers, chillers, or central plant is a plus
• Supervisory experience or strong leadership aptitude
• Comfort with technology platforms and the Microsoft Office suite
• Physical ability to lift 25 to 50 pounds frequently and work in varying weather conditions
• Availability for weekends and emergency on-call rotation

The salary range for this role is $64,000 to $67,000, with additional bonus opportunities. Bozzuto offers medical, dental, and vision coverage, 20 days of paid time off plus holidays, a 401k with company match, and tuition reimbursement. For someone who wants to grow from this position, the natural path runs toward Maintenance Manager and eventually Regional Facilities Director, and Bozzuto's stated commitment to career development makes that progression more than a talking point.
