Maintenance Supervisor - Pulse Millenia

What You'll Actually Do

Pulse Millenia is an MG Properties community in Chula Vista, and this Maintenance Supervisor role puts you at the center of keeping it running. Your day spans diagnostics and delegation: triaging incoming service requests, inspecting completed work, scheduling your crew efficiently, and turning units so they're ready when leasing needs them. You're not just a wrench-turner at this level. You're managing workflow, tracking preventive maintenance schedules, keeping expenditure records accurate, and running safety meetings that actually stick.

At 150+ units, the volume is real. A backlog of open work orders affects resident satisfaction scores, and resident satisfaction affects renewals. Strong supervisors in this role keep their punch list tight, know which repairs to handle personally and which to delegate, and coordinate outside vendors without letting timelines slip. MG Properties has been acquiring and managing apartment communities across the Western U.S. for over 30 years, so there are systems and resources behind you, but the day-to-day execution is yours to own.

What You Bring

• At least 2 years of experience in a Maintenance Supervisor role, with hands-on responsibility for a community of 150 units or more
• Working knowledge across all trades: electrical, plumbing, HVAC, appliance repair, general carpentry
• Experience managing a team, not just doing the work yourself
• A valid driver's license and reliable transportation
• Strong customer service instincts. Residents notice how maintenance communicates, not just how fast the work gets done

The Role in Context

Compensation comes in at $36 to $37 per hour depending on experience, plus monthly bonuses and company profit sharing. The benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401k with employer match, paid holidays, sick time, and rental discounts. That last one matters in a market like Chula Vista, where housing costs are a real consideration for any employee weighing total comp.

What separates a strong candidate here from an average one is the ability to manage the full maintenance operation, not just respond to it. Supervisors who build a tight preventive maintenance calendar reduce emergency work orders. Fewer emergency calls means less overtime, lower repair costs, and better NOI contribution from the maintenance side of the ledger. If you've already figured that out at your current property, this role is a natural next step.
