Lead Maintenance Technician - The Preserve at Greenway Park

What You'll Actually Do

This role sits at the center of everything physical at The Preserve at Greenway Park. You're not just fixing things. You're running a maintenance operation, which means your day involves scheduling your team's workloads, reviewing open service requests, coordinating with contractors, and making sure vacant units are move-in ready on time. Turns don't manage themselves, and your ability to sequence make-ready work efficiently has a direct impact on occupancy.

You'll conduct regular property inspections covering interiors, exteriors, grounds, irrigation, pools, and common areas. Preventative maintenance gets scheduled and tracked, not deferred. You'll manage parts inventory, order supplies before stock runs low, and keep the shop and storage areas organized. When structural, mechanical, HVAC, or electrical issues arise, you either handle them or coordinate the right outside contractor to do so. You'll also work closely with the business manager and leasing office to keep show units and vacant homes in top condition.

Compliance matters here. You're responsible for making sure the property meets state, federal, and local requirements, and that safety and security standards are upheld through consistent inspections and follow-through.

What You Bring

• At least three years of hands-on experience in residential, commercial, or apartment maintenance, including time in a supervisory or lead capacity
• EPA/HVAC certification (required, not preferred)
• Comfort with on-call responsibility when the situation calls for it
• Experience scheduling team members and managing a workload that spans daily repairs, recurring preventative maintenance, and longer-horizon capex or renovation work
• Ability to use software systems to log service requests, track inventory, and document completed work
• Enough people skills to hire, develop, and lead a service team while staying in sync with the office staff

The Bigger Picture

What separates a strong lead tech from an average one in a role like this usually isn't technical skill. Most candidates who make it to interview can fix an HVAC unit or troubleshoot a plumbing issue. What sets people apart is the organizational discipline: keeping the shop stocked, tracking open tickets so nothing ages past its deadline, and running turns without letting a single unit sit idle because a punch list item was forgotten. If you've managed a team and you know how to hold a schedule together under pressure, that skill travels with you throughout your career in property management.
