Maintenance manager

Build a career worth owning.

Heritage Hill Property Management is hiring a Maintenance Manager to lead maintenance operations at one of our St. Louis apartment communities.

We’re looking for more than a great technician. We need a hands-on maintenance leader who can troubleshoot problems, lead and develop a team, plan ahead, manage costs, and take ownership of the overall condition and performance of the property. If you know how to get the work done and help a team get better at doing it, this could be your next step.

Why This Role Matters

As Maintenance Manager, you’ll own the day-to-day maintenance operation of the community while partnering closely with the Property Manager to deliver a safe, well-maintained property and a great resident experience. You’ll be responsible for:

• Leading from the field — troubleshooting HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliance, and general maintenance issues alongside your team when needed
• Leading and developing your team by setting priorities, coaching performance, and building technical skills
• Owning service and make-ready performance, ensuring work is completed efficiently, accurately, and on time
• Planning ahead for preventive maintenance, upcoming turns, projects, staffing needs, and property priorities
• Managing maintenance expenses and making smart repair-vs.-replace decisions that protect the property's budget
• Managing vendors and contractors while balancing quality, cost, and urgency
• Using maintenance systems and data to track work orders, turns, costs, and results
• Maintaining property standards through regular inspections and proactive identification of maintenance needs
• Partnering with Property Management to solve problems, improve operations, and deliver a positive resident experience
• Responding to emergency maintenance needs and participating in the property's on-call rotation

What We Offer

• Competitive pay
• Full health benefits — Medical, Dental & Vision
• 401(k) with 3% company match
• Company-paid life insurance
• Paid vacation and holidays
• Paid certifications and professional development
• Tool purchase program
• Rent discount potential
• Performance-based bonus opportunities
• A real career path in Maintenance — with opportunities to continue growing into senior and regional leadership roles

Requirements

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of hands-on maintenance, facilities, or skilled-trades experience, with strong HVAC experience preferred
• Demonstrated experience leading, coaching, or mentoring a maintenance team or crew
• Strong working knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliances, and general building repairs
• Ability to diagnose problems and make sound repair-vs.-replace decisions
• Experience prioritizing multiple work orders, turns, projects, and competing property needs
• Comfortable using technology and maintenance/work-order systems to manage and track work
• Experience managing maintenance expenses, vendors, and/or budgets
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills
• Clear communication and a resident-focused approach to service
• An ownership mindset — someone who sees a problem, takes responsibility, and follows it through to resolution
• Flexibility to respond to changing priorities and emergency/on-call needs
• High school diploma or GED required
• Ability to reliably commute to and around the property as required for the role

Physical Requirements

This is an active, hands-on maintenance leadership position. Team members must be able to:

• Frequently lift and carry up to 50 lbs., including tools, equipment, appliances, and supplies
• Occasionally lift or move up to 100 lbs. with assistance or appropriate equipment
• Stand and walk for extended periods throughout the workday
• Regularly bend, kneel, squat, reach, and work overhead
• Frequently climb stairs and ladders, including extension ladders
• Work in tight or confined spaces as required for repairs
• Push and pull equipment, carts, appliances, or furniture
• Use hand and power tools requiring fine motor skills and manual dexterity
