Maintenance Supervisor- Maddox Apartments

MG Properties has been acquiring, developing, and managing apartment communities across the Western U.S. for over 30 years. That kind of track record means their Maintenance Supervisors aren't just fixing things. They're running a department, protecting asset value, and keeping residents renewing. At Maddox Apartments in Portland, that's exactly what this role demands.

The property runs at a scale where a disorganized maintenance operation shows up fast in the numbers. Delinquency spikes when residents feel ignored. Occupancy suffers when turns drag. A capable Maintenance Supervisor keeps make-ready timelines tight, preventive maintenance on schedule, and the punch list from compounding into a capex problem. You'll diagnose issues yourself, delegate to your team, and inspect the work when it's done. All three matter equally here.

Day to day, you're the person who sets the tone on the maintenance floor. You're scheduling staff, running safety meetings, tracking service request completion, and keeping accurate records on preventive maintenance and expenditures. When a vendor needs coordinating or equipment maintenance needs to happen outside normal hours, that falls to you. The property manager leans on you for operational continuity. Residents notice when you're dialed in, and they notice when you're not.

What separates strong candidates from average ones in this role is breadth across trades combined with real supervisory discipline. Knowing HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and appliances at a working level is table stakes for a community this size. But the candidates who thrive long-term are the ones who can train a junior tech, hold a crew accountable without burning them out, and communicate clearly with management when a repair is going to cost real money. Soft skills matter as much as tools here.

What MG Properties is looking for

• At least 2 years of experience in a Maintenance Supervisor role
• Hands-on maintenance background at a property of 150 units or more
• Working knowledge across all trades (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliances)
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
• Strong customer service orientation and team-first approach

The compensation package includes monthly bonuses, company profit sharing, a 401(k) with employer match, and full medical, dental, and vision coverage. Paid time off, paid holidays, personal days, paid sick time, and a rental discount round out the package. For a Maintenance Supervisor ready to run a tight operation at a well-capitalized company, Maddox Apartments is a solid platform to do exactly that.
