Job Description

We’re hiring an Assistant Maintenance Manager to support a small portfolio of apartment communities in Renton, WA. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys being in the field, leading by example, and making sure work is done right the first time.

If you’re a strong maintenance professional who also knows how to manage people, keep crews productive, and take ownership, this is an excellent long-term opportunity with a stable operation and a respectful, safety-first culture.

✅ Must-Haves (Please Read Before Applying)

3+ years of hands-on apartment, facilities, or trades maintenance experience

Prior crew leadership or supervisory experience (required)

Strong skills in:

Light plumbing (toilets, sinks, angle stops)

Basic electrical (switches, outlets, heaters)

Drywall, painting, and basic carpentry

Finish-oriented mindset (your work should function well and look good)

Proven dependability and accountability

Ability to manage and motivate a team of 6–7 technicians

Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation

Able to pass a background check

(No theft or violent offenses; single past DUI may be acceptable, repeat DUIs are not)

Own basic hand tools

Leadership matters more than being perfect at every trade — technical skills can be trained, people management cannot.

What You’ll Be Doing

This is a working Assistant Maintenance Manager role, roughly 50% hands-on / 50% leadership.

Perform and oversee repairs including plumbing, electrical, drywall, painting, flooring, appliances, and water heaters

Supervise daily maintenance operations and assign work

Inspect completed work for quality and accountability

Respond to service requests and maintenance emergencies

Manage preventive maintenance to reduce costly repairs

Support unit turns and ongoing property upkeep

Communicate clearly with residents regarding repairs and timelines

Determine when repairs can be handled in-house vs. using outside vendors

Properties are older (60+ years), so strong problem-solving skills are essential.

Medical, dental, and vision insurance

Paid holidays

Paid time off:

Year 1: 1 week

Year 2: 2 weeks

Year 3+: 3 weeks (max)

Why This Role

This is a stable, long-term opportunity for someone who wants to:

Work for ownership that treats people fairly

Be trusted to run a crew and make decisions

Lead without being stuck behind a desk all day

Grow into a higher-level maintenance leadership role over time
