Maintenance Supervisor in Training

Weinstein Properties is a fee-free, owner-operator shop. They own what they manage, which means decisions move faster, capital actually gets approved, and you're not stuck waiting on a third-party ownership group to greenlight a repair that should've happened last quarter. For a maintenance professional looking to grow, that structure matters.

The Bexley Mt. Juliet community is looking for a Maintenance Supervisor in Training, which is exactly what it sounds like: you'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with an existing supervisor, learn the team, learn the property, and build toward running your own site. The role carries real supervisory weight from day one. You're coordinating the service team, managing vendor scheduling, handling work order flow, and sharing on-call rotation. This isn't a helper position with a fancy title. You'll turn units, punch lists, diagnose, and repair across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliances, carpentry, drywall, and pool. The "in training" part means you're being developed for a lead seat, likely at another community when the time comes, so geographic flexibility within the Weinstein portfolio is part of the deal.

Compensation starts at $27/hour depending on experience. On-call pays a flat $150 per week whether the phone rings or not, plus an additional $150 for holiday on-call. A quarterly bonus of up to $1,110 ties to property and team performance. Benefits include vacation, sick time, holiday pay, health insurance, a rent discount, and a 401K with company match. There's also a $1,500 sign-on bonus, details confirmed during the interview.

What the role requires

• Minimum 4 years of trade experience, with at least 2 years of hands-on apartment maintenance supervisory experience
• EPA/CFC certification, Type I and II or Universal
• Hands-on HVAC repair experience, not just diagnostic familiarity
• Comfort with business software for work orders, scheduling turns, supply ordering, and email
• Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and your own tools
• Willingness to share on-call rotation
• Clean DMV record and background check required

The candidates who tend to thrive in a supervisor-in-training setup like this are the ones who already know how to read a team. Technical skill gets you in the door. What actually determines whether you're ready for your own property is how you handle a make-ready backlog when two techs call out, or how you communicate with a resident whose unit has had the same leak twice. Weinstein is watching for that judgment, not just your HVAC ticket.

Mt. Juliet has seen significant multifamily growth over the past several years as Nashville's eastern corridor has expanded. Occupancy pressure is real, and a tight, well-run service team directly protects NOI. If you've worked Class B or C garden-style product in a competitive submarket, you already know the rhythm.
