Assistant Maintenance Manager

Bozzuto runs a tight operation, and this role sits right in the middle of it. The Assistant Maintenance Manager at their Seattle property works alongside the Maintenance Manager to keep the building performing at a high level, residents taken care of, and the asset protected. It's a hands-on position. You're not just supervising; you're in the work.

Day to day, that means closing out service tickets with real follow-through, not just marking them done. It means owning the turn process so units are make-ready on schedule and new residents aren't waiting. It means running preventative maintenance programs before things break, not after. HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliance repair: you need to be competent across all of it. Exposure to complex mechanical systems like boilers, chillers, or central plant setups is a plus at a building like this.

You'll also be part of the on-call rotation. That's the honest reality of this role. Emergencies don't wait for business hours, and Bozzuto expects its maintenance leadership to respond when it counts.

What the role requires

• 5 or more years in the trades, facilities, or residential building maintenance
• HVAC, EPA, or NAPE certification
• Working knowledge of OSHA, MSDS, and risk management practices
• Hands-on proficiency with HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and appliance repair
• Basic carpentry, drywall, and painting skills
• Supervisory experience or a clear ability to lead and motivate a small team
• Comfort with technology platforms and basic Microsoft Office use
• Physical ability to lift 25 to 50 pounds frequently and work in varying weather conditions
• Availability for emergency on-call and weekend coverage

What separates a strong candidate here from an average one is the combination of technical range and leadership instinct. Plenty of maintenance techs are skilled with tools. Fewer can also run a punch list review with a junior tech, communicate clearly with a frustrated resident, and still close out three work orders before noon. That dual capability is what Bozzuto is hiring for at the assistant manager level.

The pay range runs from $30 to $31.50 per hour, with bonus eligibility on top of that. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, 20 days of paid time off plus holidays, a 401k with company match, and tuition reimbursement.

If you know buildings well enough to anticipate problems before they become complaints, and you're ready to take on a leadership track in property maintenance, this is a role worth looking at seriously.
