Maintenance Supervisor

Maintenance Supervisor at The Orchards at Cherry Creek Park

A Maintenance Supervisor at a well-run apartment community carries the full weight of physical asset performance. Turns need to hit their deadlines so leasing can move units. Service tickets need to close fast enough that residents don't start shopping. And the team needs someone who can actually develop technicians, not just direct them. At Cottonwood Residential's Orchards at Cherry Creek Park in Centennial, CO, that's the job.

What the Work Looks Like Day to Day

The make-ready process is where a lot of Maintenance Supervisors either win or lose. A slow turn cycle kills occupancy momentum and pushes concessions. You'll own that process here: coordinating punch lists, tracking unit readiness, and keeping turns moving so leasing has product to show. Beyond turns, you'll carry the standard scope of HVAC troubleshooting, electrical, plumbing, and appliance repair, and you'll be expected to resolve those issues with enough speed and quality that service ticket completion rates stay high and resident satisfaction holds.

Team development is a real part of this role, not an afterthought. You'll hire, schedule, and train techs and community care associates, including both on-the-job coaching and classroom education. Staffing the on-call rotation for 24/7 emergency coverage is your responsibility too. Grounds upkeep, safety code compliance, and keeping the property operating at peak efficiency round out the operational picture.

• EPA Type II or Universal certification required
• Significant HVAC troubleshooting experience expected
• CPO certification is a plus
• Valid driver's license required

What Sets Strong Candidates Apart

The technical skills are table stakes. What separates a good Maintenance Supervisor from a great one at a property like this is the ability to manage a turn calendar the way a leasing manager watches traffic: with urgency, precision, and awareness of how each delayed unit affects the broader occupancy picture. If you've worked at a property where the maintenance team and leasing team actually communicated well, you know how much smoother operations run. That coordination mindset matters here.
