Market Maintenance Manager II

John M. Corcoran and Company has been managing residential communities across New England since 1951, and the way they talk about their culture, you'd expect a company that size to feel institutional. It doesn't. Team members tend to stay a long time, and that kind of tenure usually tells you something real about how a place treats its people.

The Market Maintenance Manager II role is based at Lynnfield Commons in Lynnfield, MA. It's a supervisory position, which means your day isn't just you and a work order queue. You're leading a team that includes maintenance technicians, janitorial staff, and grounds personnel, and you're the one setting the standard for how work gets done. That means coaching people, holding the line on quality, and keeping things moving without micromanaging every task.

On any given day, you might be reviewing open work orders in the morning, walking a turn unit with the management team to confirm it's move-in ready, checking in with a vendor on a pending repair, and fielding a question from a resident on your way back to the shop. Afternoons could involve preventive maintenance scheduling, reviewing purchase orders against budget, or dealing with something that came up unexpectedly. The schedule is Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, with an on-call rotation for after-hours emergencies. That rotation is real, and worth factoring in when you think about whether this role fits your life right now.

What separates a strong candidate from a capable one here is probably leadership instincts more than technical depth. JMC wants someone who knows electrical, mechanical, and building systems well enough to supervise and troubleshoot. But the harder part of this job is building a team that takes pride in their work without you standing over them. If you've managed people in a maintenance context and you know how to earn respect on a job site, that matters a lot.

What JMC is looking for

• High school diploma or equivalent education and experience
• At least 3 years of trade or general building maintenance experience
• Working knowledge of electrical, mechanical, and building systems
• Proven ability to lead and coordinate a maintenance team
• Strong organizational skills and comfort managing vendor relationships and budgets
• Commitment to safety procedures and company standards

Compensation runs between $38.25 and $44.25 per hour, with 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. For the right person, this is the kind of role that grows. Maintenance managers at well-run companies like JMC often move into regional or facilities leadership over time, particularly when they've built a track record of keeping occupancy-ready units and controlling maintenance costs. The foundation you build here transfers well.
