Market Maintenance Manager II

John M. Corcoran & Company has been managing residential communities in New England since 1951, and The Halstead in Plymouth, MA is one of the properties where that long history shows up in day-to-day expectations. They want a Maintenance Manager who treats the physical condition of a community as a direct reflection of the people who live and work there. That's the culture here. It's not just about closing work orders.

In this role, you'd be responsible for the full scope of maintenance operations at The Halstead. That means overseeing work orders, conducting inspections, keeping up with preventive maintenance schedules, and making sure unit turns happen on time and to standard. You'd also be supervising a team that includes maintenance techs, janitorial staff, and grounds crew, which means your day involves as much people management as it does hands-on work. Coordinating with vendors, tracking supplies against budget, and keeping accurate records all fall in your court too.

The on-call rotation is real. After-hours emergencies happen, and this role is part of the response. That's worth knowing upfront. The regular schedule is Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, but you'll need to be reachable when things come up outside those hours. If that kind of responsibility fits how you already think about the job, it won't feel like a burden.

What they're looking for

• High school diploma or equivalent; relevant experience counts
• At least 3 years in trade or general building maintenance
• Working knowledge of electrical, mechanical, and building systems
• Demonstrated ability to lead a team and stay organized under pressure
• Comfort with safety procedures, reporting, and budget adherence

What separates a strong candidate here from an average one isn't just technical range, though that matters. It's the ability to keep a team accountable without micromanaging, and to communicate clearly with both residents and the management office. The Maintenance Manager at a community like this sits in the middle of a lot of relationships: residents who want things fixed fast, a property management team tracking make-ready timelines and capex spend, and vendors who need clear direction. The people who thrive in this seat tend to be organized communicators who also know how to get their hands dirty when needed.

JMC offers competitive pay in the range of $38.25 to $44.25 per hour, plus a $2,500 sign-on bonus. Benefits include medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, paid time off and holidays, and a 401(k) with a company match. The company has a notable track record of long-tenured employees, which often signals something real about how people are treated once they're in the door.
