Maintenance Supervisor

Apply to be a Maintenance Supervisor with Liv Communities today. When you’re a Maintenance Supervisor, you’re the team captain. You’re great at what you do and are willing to help out, but you trust your team to get the job done without doing it all yourself. You don’t compromise on quality — it has to work well and look good before you cross it off the list.  Unlike some squads, we assure you Team Liv's uniforms make you look elite.

At Liv Communities, we are in the people business. Ask our employees why and they’ll say, “Because we can help people live fuller lives.”  But that doesn’t just apply to our residents. We invest in our team members and promote from within so we can build a long-lasting, sustainable team for our residents.  We demand quality, but we know you’ll have fun in the process. The word “boredom” is not in our vocabulary. Can you thrive in a culture like that? Do you believe serving others is the best thing a person can do?

Whether you’ve worked in property management before or not, you’re someone we’d like to talk to. 

Of course, work wouldn’t be work without some responsibilities. You’ll have a maintenance team who will be looking to you for leadership. You’ll also need to hold them accountable. You’ll be responsible for making sure all service requests receive a prompt and complete response.  Keeping up on inventory and purchasing is part of the job as well.  You won’t compromise on safety, and you’ll have to follow certain IPA procedures.  We’ll also tell you upfront — you will have to be on call and respond quickly (and cheerfully) when needed.

If you can do all of these things, and you’re outgoing, passionate, and ethical, then what are you waiting for? Apply today.
