Lead Maintenance Technician - The Point at Town Center

Olympus Property has earned recognition as a top employer in the National Apartment Association rankings three years running, and the culture behind that reflects in how they staff their communities. The Point at Town Center in Jacksonville is looking for a Lead Maintenance Technician who can run the maintenance operation with real authority while staying approachable enough to work alongside office staff, contractors, and residents every day.

What You'll Actually Do

This role carries genuine supervisory weight. You're not just fixing things. You're scheduling your team's daily, weekly, and monthly workloads, coordinating third-party contractors, ordering supplies, and making sure the shop and storage areas stay organized and well-stocked. Preventative maintenance and turn-key operations are a consistent part of the rhythm. You'll also manage compliance inspections and conduct regular walkthroughs of apartments, common areas, grounds, pools, and exterior structures to catch issues before they become problems. When a unit turns, you're working closely with the business manager and office staff to confirm it's show-ready and move-in ready on schedule. Software tracking for service requests, inventory, and completed work is part of the job.

On the people side, you'll hire and develop your service team members. That means coaching, setting expectations, and building a crew that runs well even when you're not watching. On-call coverage is required for a minimum of two weeks per month, and emergency availability comes with the territory. Most experienced maintenance leads already account for this, but it's worth naming honestly because it shapes your schedule and your family's.

What You Bring

• At least three years of apartment maintenance experience, with some time in a lead or supervisor capacity
• EPA/HVAC certification (required)
• Comfort coordinating structural, mechanical, electrical, and HVAC repairs
• Full-time availability Monday through Friday, generally 9 AM to 5 PM, with flexibility when the property needs it
• Experience using property management software or maintenance tracking systems
• A working knowledge of fair housing, safety regulations, and local compliance requirements

The Team Dynamic Worth Understanding

What separates strong candidates in this kind of role isn't just technical skill. It's communication. The best maintenance leads build a real working relationship with the property's office staff, not just a transactional one. When leasing is showing units and the make-ready list keeps shifting, or when a resident escalates a service complaint to the front desk, the partnership between maintenance and the business manager either holds the community together or creates friction. If you've worked well across that line before, that experience matters here.

Olympus Property offers a benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) with employer matching, tuition reimbursement, pet insurance, an apartment rental allowance, and paid time off, along with monthly and quarterly bonus eligibility for team members. Career pathing is part of their stated culture, and for a lead tech who performs well, moving into a maintenance supervisor or regional maintenance role is a realistic next step within their portfolio.
