The Job At-A-Glance
CLS Living is seeking a highly skilled, hands-on Building Director / Maintenance Supervisor to oversee the maintenance, operations, and technical performance of a complex high-rise community. This is a critical property leadership role for a sophisticated building with intricate mechanical, life-safety, building automation, and SMART building systems.
 
The ideal candidate is more than a traditional Maintenance Supervisor. We are looking for a building systems expert who understands the mechanics and infrastructure of a high-rise property—including large-scale HVAC systems, boilers, plumbing, electrical systems, life-safety systems, and building automation—and can effectively manage multiple projects and priorities at the same time.
This role will lead the maintenance team while serving as the property's technical resource and partner to the General Manager and Regional Facilities Manager.
Key Responsibilities
Building Systems & Technical Operations
  • Serve as the property's primary technical expert for building systems, infrastructure, and mechanical operations.
  • Oversee and maintain major building systems, including large-scale HVAC equipment, boilers, chillers, plumbing, electrical systems, water heaters, pumps, and other mechanical equipment.
  • Diagnose complex building system issues and coordinate appropriate repairs and solutions.
  • Maintain a strong understanding of SMART building and building automation systems, including monitoring system performance, identifying issues, and coordinating troubleshooting.
  • Oversee life-safety systems, including fire protection and other critical safety infrastructure.
  • Develop and manage comprehensive preventive maintenance programs to minimize system failures and protect the long-term condition of the property.
  • Conduct regular inspections of mechanical rooms, units, common areas, equipment, and building infrastructure.
  • Maintain detailed records of inspections, repairs, preventive maintenance, and system performance.
  • Respond to building emergencies and participate in emergency preparedness and response planning.
  • Ensure the property remains safe, functional, compliant, and operational at all times.
Maintenance Leadership & Team Development
  • Lead, supervise, and develop a high-performing maintenance team.
  • Establish clear expectations for productivity, quality, responsiveness, safety, and accountability.
  • Provide ongoing training, coaching, and mentorship to maintenance team members.
  • Ensure maintenance staff follow proper procedures and safety protocols.
  • Promote a culture of professionalism, teamwork, ownership, and exceptional resident service.
  • Ensure service requests and work orders are completed accurately, efficiently, and within established expectations.
  • Lead by example with a strong work ethic, integrity, and hands-on approach.
Project & Property Operations
  • Effectively manage multiple projects, priorities, and deadlines simultaneously, including ongoing maintenance, capital projects, unit turns, emergencies, and vendor work.
  • Oversee Make Ready and unit turnover processes, ensuring units are completed on schedule and meet CLS Living standards.
  • Coordinate and supervise contractors and vendors performing work throughout the property.
  • Obtain bids, evaluate proposals, negotiate pricing, and ensure vendor work is completed properly.
  • Partner with the General Manager and Regional Facilities Manager on capital improvement projects and long-term building maintenance planning.
  • Identify potential building issues before they become major operational or financial problems.
  • Develop and maintain preventative maintenance schedules for critical equipment and systems.
  • Assist with property inspections and ensure deficiencies are addressed promptly.
Financial & Strategic Support
  • Assist the General Manager with the development and management of the property's maintenance and capital budgets.
  • Monitor maintenance expenses and ensure spending remains aligned with budget expectations.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce operating costs while maintaining quality and resident satisfaction.
  • Evaluate repair-versus-replace decisions for major equipment and building systems.
  • Support revenue-generating initiatives, including applicable resident bill-backs.
  • Assist with long-term capital planning and replacement schedules for major building systems.
  • Partner with the Regional Facilities Manager to monitor capital projects, budgets, timelines, and completion.
Resident Experience & Community Leadership
  • Provide responsive, professional, and solutions-oriented service to residents.
  • Communicate proactively with residents regarding maintenance issues and building disruptions.
  • Escalate significant resident concerns to the General Manager promptly.
  • Build positive working relationships with vendors, contractors, university partners, local officials, and community stakeholders.
  • Represent CLS Living's brand and culture in every interaction.
  • Maintain a resident-first mindset while balancing operational, safety, and financial priorities.

Qualifications & Technical Expertise
Required Certifications & Experience
  • HVAC certification required.
  • Plumbing certification required.
  • 3–5 years of experience managing building systems in a high-rise, student housing, multifamily, commercial, hospitality, or similarly complex property.
  • At least 3 years of supervisory or maintenance leadership experience.
  • Demonstrated experience working with complex mechanical and building systems.
  • Experience managing multiple projects, priorities, and deadlines simultaneously.
  • Experience with preventive maintenance programs and emergency response.
Building Systems Expertise
The successful candidate should have strong working knowledge of:
  • Large-scale HVAC systems
  • Boilers and related mechanical systems
  • Plumbing and water systems
  • Electrical systems
  • Building automation systems
