Maintenance Supervisor in Training - Bexley Steelecroft

It's a Tuesday morning and you're walking a vacant unit with a punch list in hand, coordinating a turn alongside your team while fielding a work order about a tripped breaker in building three. That's the rhythm of this role at Bexley Steelecroft, a Weinstein Properties community in Charlotte's Steele Creek corridor.

Weinstein Properties owns and manages its own portfolio, which matters more than it might seem. There's no third-party management layer between you and decisions. That structure creates genuine stability and a cleaner path to advancement, which is exactly what this position is designed around. You're being hired as a Maintenance Supervisor in Training, meaning you'll work directly alongside an experienced supervisor with a full team behind you, building the habits and judgment that translate into a supervisor seat at another Charlotte community when the time comes.

What This Role Actually Demands

This is a hands-on position first. Weinstein isn't hiring someone to manage from a distance. You'll be in the field diagnosing and repairing HVAC systems, handling electrical and plumbing issues, working through appliance repairs, carpentry, drywall, pool maintenance, and exterior structural work. The expectation is technical fluency across all of it, not specialization in one area.

On the operational side, you'll schedule and oversee both in-house work and vendor activity, manage work orders through business software, coordinate turns, and order supplies. On-call rotation is shared with the team, and there's a weekly on-call bonus whether calls come in or not.

• Minimum 4 years of trade-related experience required
• At least 1 year in a lead, assistant, or supervisory apartment maintenance role
• EPA/CFC certification required (Type I and II, or Universal)
• Hands-on HVAC repair experience required
• Proficiency with work order and scheduling software
• Valid driver's license, personal transportation, and your own tools
• Willingness to transfer to another Charlotte community for a supervisor role in the future

Where Strong Candidates Stand Out

The technical bar here is real. EPA certification and HVAC repair experience aren't preferences. But what separates a strong candidate in a supervisory training role is something the certifications don't measure: the ability to coordinate a team through a heavy turn week without letting service requests pile up, or to communicate clearly with a resident who's frustrated while you're already three work orders deep. The customer service element is woven into every part of this job. Occupancy and NOI don't hold without it.

Compensation starts at $25 per hour depending on experience, with a $150 weekly on-call bonus, additional holiday on-call pay, quarterly performance bonuses up to $1,110, and a $1,500 sign-on bonus (details discussed during the interview). Benefits include vacation and sick time, holiday pay, health insurance, a rent discount, and a 401(k) with company match.
