Maintenance Supervisor ($2,000 hiring bonus)
BAM CompaniesA unit goes down on a Friday afternoon: AC out, resident escalating, and two techs waiting on direction. That's the moment this role earns its pay. As Maintenance Supervisor at BAM Companies in Waukee, Iowa, you're the person who keeps that situation from turning into a weekend crisis.
What the Job Looks Like
BAM Companies, founded in 2010, manages residential properties with an emphasis on team culture and operational quality. In this role, you supervise and develop the on-site maintenance team while taking ownership of HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general property upkeep. That means hands-on work alongside your crew, not just directing from the office.
Preventative maintenance is a core part of the job. You'll schedule and oversee regular inspections designed to catch problems before they become work orders. You'll also manage supply purchasing and keep operations within budget, so an eye for cost-effective decisions matters as much as mechanical know-how.
Curb appeal and common areas fall under your watch too. Residents notice the details, and your team sets the standard for how the property looks and functions day to day.
A $2,000 hiring bonus comes with this position, and pay runs between $27 and $32 per hour depending on experience.
What BAM Is Looking For
- 2 to 3 years of property maintenance experience; supervisory background is a plus
- EPA Type II or Universal Certification (required)
- Valid driver's license and a reliable vehicle
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Genuine ability to coach and develop technicians, not just assign tasks
The candidates who stand out here aren't just technically solid. They know how to read a team: when someone needs more training, when morale needs attention, when a process needs tightening. A good supervisor at a property like this raises the skill level of everyone around them over time, and that's exactly what BAM is hiring for.
Benefits include medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, along with 15.5 paid holidays plus PTO that kicks in after 90 days. BAM also offers housing discounts at their properties for employees who want to live on-site or nearby.
