Maintenance Supervisor (The Bristol Apartments)

A Maintenance Supervisor role at a growing regional operator like BAM Companies carries real weight. You're not just fixing things. You're the person who determines whether a unit turns in three days or seven, whether a work order backlog quietly balloons into a resident satisfaction problem, and whether your techs are actually getting better at the job or just getting by.

What the Role Covers

At The Bristol Apartments in Camby, IN, you'll lead the day-to-day maintenance operation across the property. That means owning the make-ready process, keeping HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems running, and making sure the grounds and common areas hold up to BAM's brand standards. Preventative maintenance scheduling falls on your desk. So does budget management, supply purchasing, and keeping costs from creeping in the wrong direction.

On the people side, you're coaching and training your team. That's not a passive responsibility here. BAM explicitly invests in employee development, which means your techs are expected to grow, and you're the one making that happen through feedback, hands-on instruction, and setting the standard by example.

• 2 to 3 years of property maintenance experience required; supervisory background is a plus
• EPA Type 2 or Universal Certification (HVAC work is part of the job, not optional)
• Valid driver's license and reliable vehicle
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

What Separates Strong Candidates Here

The gap between a good maintenance tech and a strong Maintenance Supervisor usually comes down to one thing: the ability to see the property's condition as a system, not a list of individual problems. The best supervisors track their open work orders, know their aging units before they become emergencies, and can prioritize a punch list by what actually affects occupancy and resident retention. If you've already been thinking that way in a tech role, this is the right next step. If you haven't, this role will teach you to.

The pay range runs $22 to $25 per hour, depending on experience, location factors, and overall fit within the compensation structure.

The BAM Side of Things

BAM Companies has operated since 2010 and describes its culture with some consistency: they call their employees "BAMFAM," they offer 14.5 paid holidays plus PTO starting after 90 days, and they back it up with medical, dental, vision, and life insurance. There are also rent discounts available for employees living at a BAM property, which is a practical benefit worth noting if you're considering a relocation or change of address. The company leans into recognition and growth in a way that's more common at mid-size operators than at the large institutional players. For a maintenance professional who wants to be known by name and not just by ticket volume, that difference matters.
