Maintenance Supervisor

Hillpointe builds workforce housing across the Sun Belt, and they build it fast. As one of the top-ranked developers on the NMHC Builders and Developers list, they control the full stack in-house: land acquisition, construction, procurement, and asset management. That integration matters for this role because a Maintenance Supervisor here isn't just keeping a stabilized asset running. You may be called in to help bring a brand-new community online, which means your baseline competence needs to be real from day one.

Macon sits in a part of Georgia where workforce housing demand has stayed steady even as larger metros have seen lease-up pressure. The community you'd oversee serves residents who depend on reliable, responsive maintenance. Slow turns and deferred work orders aren't abstract line items here. They affect occupancy and resident retention in a market where word travels.

The core of the job is what you'd expect from a Maintenance Supervisor role: managing the make-ready process on vacant units, handling service requests, running preventative maintenance, and keeping grounds and amenities in shape. You'll also supervise vendors and contractors, inspect their work, and hold them to standard. Inventory management falls to you as well, and you'll be expected to stay within budget on supplies and tools. Safety compliance is non-negotiable. OSHA standards and company protocols apply, and you'll lead regular safety meetings with your team.

The on-call rotation is real and worth knowing going in. Evenings, weekends, and early mornings are part of the schedule. This is standard for any supervisory maintenance role at a residential property, but it's not something to overlook if you're coming from a facilities or commercial background where hours are more structured.

What tends to separate strong candidates in this kind of role is diagnostic instincts. Anyone can complete a work order. The better Maintenance Supervisors catch the issue behind the issue, spot a recurring HVAC problem before it becomes a pattern of complaints, or flag a plumbing concern during a make-ready that would have caused a callback two weeks after move-in. That kind of attention compounds over time into better NOI and fewer emergency costs.

What You'll Need

• EPA Type I and II or Universal certification for refrigerant handling (required)
• CPO certification or willingness to obtain it
• Valid driver's license and all state or local certifications applicable to the role
• Hands-on proficiency with hand tools, mechanical equipment, and basic office software
• High school diploma, GED, or equivalent experience
• Physical ability to lift up to 50 lbs regularly, climb ladders, and work in varied outdoor conditions
• Comfort reading technical manuals, blueprints, and schematics

For someone looking to grow, the Maintenance Supervisor role at a developer-owner like Hillpointe can open a direct path toward regional maintenance or facilities management. Because the company controls construction and asset management internally, there's real exposure to how a property is built and how that affects long-term maintenance planning. That context is harder to get at a third-party management shop.
