Maintenance Supervisor (Miramar & Beach Park)

What This Role Actually Covers

Prometheus calls this position a Neighborhood Service Manager, and that framing matters. At most companies, a Maintenance Supervisor title means work orders and turns. Here, the scope extends to budget accountability, capital projects, vendor oversight, safety compliance, and team development across two communities: Miramar and Beach Park in Foster City. Prometheus owns and operates over 13,000 apartments across the Bay Area, Portland, and Seattle as a vertically integrated company, so the people running physical operations carry real organizational weight. This isn't a role you grow into slowly. You're expected to lead from day one.

The Day-to-Day Responsibilities

On any given week, you're managing the full physical condition of two neighborhoods simultaneously. That means overseeing preventive maintenance schedules, coordinating make-ready turns, managing vendors and contractors, and keeping capital projects on track. Budget ownership is part of the job: you'll monitor costs against plan and make decisions that affect NOI at the property level. You'll also run ongoing safety training for your team, maintain inventory controls, and stay current on federal, state, and local regulations governing property operations.

The leadership component is substantial. You'll hire, train, and mentor your maintenance staff directly. When problems arise with performance or operations, you're the one resolving them. Prometheus puts real emphasis on team culture, and the Service Manager sets the tone for how a maintenance crew functions day to day.

• Minimum five years of apartment maintenance experience, with at least two years in a supervisory capacity
• At least three certifications from recognized institutions such as BOMA, IREM, or comparable vocational programs
• Working knowledge of safety codes, operating manuals, and regulatory compliance documentation
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. occasionally and perform the physical demands of active property work
• On-call availability beyond standard hours, with standby pay and on-call premium pay provided
• High school diploma or GED required

Where This Role Can Take You

In property management, a strong Maintenance Supervisor builds a transferable skill set that opens doors most leasing-track roles don't. Budget management, capex planning, vendor negotiation, and regulatory compliance all compound into credentials that translate directly to Regional Maintenance Director or Director of Facilities roles. At a vertically integrated company like Prometheus, which handles acquisitions, development, value-add renovations, and operations in-house, there's also exposure to the renovation side of the business. The renovation bonus structure listed in the compensation package signals that cross-functional involvement is real, not theoretical.

What separates strong candidates here from average ones is the combination of technical depth and supervisory confidence. Prometheus operates long-term holds with a quality-preservation focus, so they're looking for someone who thinks about the building's condition over years, not just the current punch list. If you approach maintenance as an asset protection function rather than a reactive repair operation, this environment will suit you well.

Compensation ranges from $38.75 to $45.00 per hour, with a semi-annual discretionary bonus, on-call premium pay, and fully company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage that extends to eligible dependents.
