Assistant Maintenance Supervisor - 187

The Skills That Drive This Role

An Assistant Maintenance Supervisor position lives at the intersection of hands-on technical work and team coordination. At Villages 3Eighty, a Berkshire Residential Investments community, you're not just completing work orders. You're helping run the maintenance operation. The skills that get used hardest here are make-ready coordination, quality inspection, scheduling support, and the ability to coach technicians without slowing the whole team down.

Make-readies are where a lot of the pressure shows up. Turns need to move on time, punch lists need to be tight, and units sitting offline hurt occupancy. Your eye for detail during unit inspections directly affects how fast the property can lease. That's a real number on a real report, and strong candidates understand that connection instinctively.

What the Work Actually Looks Like

Day to day, you're supporting the Maintenance Supervisor and Property Manager across a range of operational tasks. That includes coordinating make-ready repairs and services, helping technicians meet deadlines, and making sure tour routes and models are always showing-ready. You'll help schedule daily activities, monitor work for both quality and quantity, and enforce safety standards consistently.

Inventory control and shop organization fall into your scope as well. Keeping supplies stocked and equipment maintained sounds routine until something breaks down mid-turn. You'll also track major repair needs and flag required expenditures to the Maintenance Supervisor and Property Manager before any money moves. That financial discipline matters at a company that owns and manages its own assets.

• One year of hands-on maintenance experience across core skill areas
• Comfort with technology, including property management software and related applications
• Strong written and verbal communication in English
• Ability to meet physical requirements and take direction well

What Makes Berkshire Different for This Role

Berkshire owns and manages its own portfolio, which means decisions move faster and accountability runs closer to the ground than it does at a typical third-party management shop. As an assistant supervisor here, you're not waiting on a management company layer to approve a direction. That ownership structure gives the maintenance team more operational clarity and, frankly, more responsibility.

What separates a strong candidate from an average one in this specific role is the ability to coach without creating bottlenecks. Technicians need guidance, but the work still has to move. The best assistant supervisors at communities like this one can spot a struggling tech, step in to help, and keep the schedule intact. That's a harder skill than it sounds, and it's exactly what this role demands.

Berkshire offers three weeks of vacation, a 25% rent discount, personal development plans, and competitive insurance benefits. If you're looking to grow from a senior tech or lead role into full supervisory responsibility, this is a realistic path to get there.
