Maintenance Supervisor - Multi-Site

Multi-site maintenance supervision is a different animal than running a single property. You're not just fixing things. You're managing schedules across communities, tracking vendor timelines on multiple make-readies simultaneously, keeping your team accountable when you're not physically on-site, and still finding time to put hands on equipment when the situation calls for it. Hawthorne Residential Partners is hiring for exactly that kind of role in Atlanta.

The day-to-day here spans the full maintenance lifecycle. Unit turns need to be inspected and signed off before move-in, preventative maintenance programs need to run on a quarterly cadence, and capital improvement projects need bids sourced, schedules built, and execution managed. On any given week you might be walking a punch list on a vacant unit in the morning, meeting with a vendor about an ongoing capex project at noon, and coaching a technician through a proper HVAC repair in the afternoon. The variety is real, and so is the accountability.

Budget monitoring and inventory management fall under this role too. That means you need to understand what things cost, catch waste before it compounds, and make sure your team isn't sitting idle waiting on parts that should have been stocked. Grounds, amenities, and common areas also stay on your radar because curb appeal directly affects traffic and, ultimately, occupancy.

What separates a strong candidate here isn't just technical range, though you do need solid working knowledge across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. It's the ability to keep multiple communities moving without letting any single one slip. Supervisors who thrive in multi-site roles tend to build tight vendor relationships early, because when a turn is sitting incomplete, a reliable contractor you can call on short notice is worth more than almost anything else.

On-call rotation is part of the job. After-hours emergencies happen, and Hawthorne expects you to respond. That's worth knowing going in.

What Hawthorne Is Looking For

• High school diploma or GED
• At least 3 years in apartment maintenance or a skilled trade (HVAC, plumbing, electrical)
• Prior supervisory or lead tech experience strongly preferred
• Valid driver's license required
• EPA certification required
• CPO certification highly preferred (required in some states)

Compensation includes hourly pay plus a monthly renewal bonus, quarterly performance bonuses, and quarterly resident satisfaction bonuses. Hawthorne also offers a career path program with genuine development structure, education reimbursement for maintenance skills, and a benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, 401k match, paid parental leave, and pet insurance, among other things.

If you've been running maintenance at a single property and want the complexity and career growth that comes with multi-site responsibility, this is a logical next step. Multi-site supervisors who build strong operational track records often move into regional or director-level maintenance roles, and Hawthorne's internal development program is structured to support that trajectory.
