Maintenance Supervisor (Cliffside)

What You'll Actually Do

This role sits at the center of everything physical at Cliffside, a Prometheus property in Gig Harbor, Washington. You're responsible for the condition of the building, the performance of your maintenance team, and the budget that funds both. That means hiring and training technicians, managing vendors and contractors, overseeing capital projects, and keeping inventory in order. When safety training needs to happen, you run it. When a contractor needs direction, that's you. When something breaks down at 11pm, you're the one your team calls.

On-call is real here. Prometheus lists standby pay and on-call premium pay in the compensation package, which tells you something: after-hours situations are frequent enough that they built a structure around compensating for them. If you've led a maintenance team before, you already know what that means in practice.

The budget side of this job carries real weight. You'll manage maintenance costs with an eye toward preserving NOI, which means making smart calls on repairs versus replacements, keeping capex projects on track, and not letting deferred work pile up into bigger problems. You're expected to know your numbers and own your decisions.

What You Bring

• At least five years of apartment maintenance experience, with a minimum of two years in a supervisory role
• Three or more certificates from recognized programs such as BOMA, IREM, or vocational maintenance courses
• Working knowledge of federal, state, and local safety regulations, including the ability to read and apply operating manuals and safety documentation
• The physical ability to stand, walk, and lift up to 50 lbs. occasionally
• High school diploma or GED
• Comfort communicating clearly with residents, staff, vendors, and management

Compensation and Context

The hourly range runs from $32.75 to $38.00, with a discretionary semi-annual bonus on top. Prometheus also offers standby and on-call premium pay, referral bonuses, renovation bonuses, and lease-up bonuses where applicable. The benefits package includes fully company-paid medical, vision, and dental plans with buy-up options, 401(k) with employer matching, 12 paid holidays including your birthday, paid volunteer time, and tenure-based housing discounts. Educational assistance and tuition reimbursement are available too.

What separates strong candidates in this role is the combination of technical depth and team accountability. Plenty of experienced technicians can fix things. Fewer can build a team culture where work orders get closed on time, make-readies stay on schedule, and residents trust that maintenance actually follows through. If you've managed that balance before, Gig Harbor is a solid market to do it in again.
