Maintenance Supervisor - Artesia Apartments

Maintenance Supervisor roles at mid-size apartment operators tend to be hands-on from day one. You're not just managing a clipboard. You're the person who sets the pace for how quickly turns get done, how residents feel about the community, and whether the property manager can trust that work orders are actually closed out.

What the Work Looks Like at Artesia

MG Properties has been acquiring and managing apartment communities across the Western U.S. for over 30 years, and Artesia Apartments in Everett is part of that portfolio. As Maintenance Supervisor, you'll oversee all maintenance and repair activity at the property. That means diagnosing issues yourself when needed, delegating routine work to your team, and inspecting completed work to make sure it holds up. You'll manage the service request system, coordinate scheduling with your team, and work alongside the property manager to keep staffing organized.

Beyond reactive work orders, you'll run regular safety meetings, track preventive maintenance, and maintain accurate records on expenditures and completed work. Equipment upkeep is part of the scope too. MG Properties expects experience across trades, so this isn't a role where you hand off electrical to someone else and call it done.

What You'll Need Coming In

• At least 2 years of experience in a Maintenance Supervisor capacity
• Prior experience at a property of 150 units or more
• Hands-on competency across multiple trades
• A valid driver's license and reliable transportation
• Comfort leading a team without micromanaging every task

Customer service matters here. Residents notice how your team communicates as much as how fast the work gets done. If you're the type who gets defensive when a resident follows up on an open ticket, this role will wear on you. If you take it as useful information, you'll fit in fine.

Compensation and Honest Context

The pay range is $36 to $39 per hour depending on experience, with monthly bonuses and company profit sharing on top of that. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) with employer match, paid time off, paid holidays, personal days, sick time, and rental discounts. It's a solid package for a working supervisor role.

One honest note about this kind of position: after-hours calls happen. A pipe doesn't care that it's Sunday. How often and how the on-call structure is set up is worth asking about in your interview, but go in knowing that's part of the job at most communities this size. The upside is that supervisors who handle the unpredictable parts well tend to build strong credibility with both residents and ownership, which creates real room to grow into regional or facilities management roles over time.
