Job Description

Job Title: Portfolio Maintenance Manager
Location: Hollywood, FL (on-site)
Salary: $60,000-$90,000 DOE

The Portfolio Maintenance Manager is responsible for overseeing all maintenance operations across a portfolio of Class B and Class C student housing properties. This role requires regular travel to properties across the portfolio and demands a rare combination of deep trade-level expertise and strategic operational leadership.

The ideal candidate has a track record managing multi-site maintenance portfolios and leading teams of technicians and supervisors. They understand aging building systems, thrive under pressure, and know how to build and retain high-performing maintenance teams.

Responsibilities

• Conduct regular property visits across the portfolio to inspect, support on-site teams, and resolve maintenance issues hands-on.
• Oversee all HVAC, mechanical, and life safety systems including split systems, VRV/VRF, boilers, FACP, and sprinklers — ensuring compliance and performance.
• Manage pool and spa operations across all properties, maintaining chemical balance, equipment, and health code compliance.
• Lead and develop on-site maintenance teams — hiring, mentoring, evaluating, and holding staff accountable across multiple sites.
• Manage vendors and maintenance budgets — negotiate contracts, establish service agreements, and identify cost-saving opportunities.
• Track and report on maintenance KPIs including work order completion, PM rates, backlog, and unit turnover through Entrata.
• Standardize operations by implementing and enforcing SOPs, preventive maintenance programs, and workflows portfolio-wide.
• Ensure fire/life safety compliance across all properties through regular inspections and proactive deficiency resolution.

Qualifications

This is an office-based position headquartered in Aventura, FL; must be willing and able to travel regularly to properties across the portfolio. A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation are required.

Bilingual: English & Spanish Preferred.

• Minimum 5–10 years of hands-on maintenance experience in multifamily residential or student housing properties.
• Demonstrated experience managing maintenance operations across multiple properties simultaneously (portfolio of 5+ assets or 1,000+ units strongly preferred).
• Deep, working knowledge of HVAC systems: diagnosis, repair, and preventive maintenance — not just supervisory familiarity.
• Direct experience with pool/spa maintenance: chemistry, equipment, and health code compliance.
• Proficiency with Entrata or comparable property management/maintenance work order systems.
• EPA 608 Certification (Universal or Type II/III) required.
• CPO Certification required (or must be willing to obtain within 60 days of hire).
• Experience with student housing, value-add multifamily, or workforce housing.

Job Time

• Full Time (Monday-Friday).
• Benefits
• 10 days PTO/Vacation first year, with 2-day increments per year up to a max of 15 days.
• Holidays: Major Federal Holidays.
• Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance.
• Professional development and certification support

Language
