Description
Live-In Maintenance Supervisor - Senior Affordable High-Rise
Paths is a full-scale, vertically integrated affordable housing developer, builder, and operator. Since 2004, the Paths team has created and preserved high-quality, affordable housing across the U.S. that enhances communities and helps residents build better lives. With over 16,000 units across 13 states under management and more than 600 employees, Paths manages a suite of capabilities spanning the entire property life cycle, including development, construction, property management, maintenance, and security.

The right candidate is steady, practical, responsive, and comfortable working in an older high-rise building environment. This position is best suited for someone with strong apartment maintenance experience, solid HVAC, plumbing, and electrical knowledge, and the ability to lead a small team while still jumping in to get the work done.

  • Lead day-to-day maintenance operations for the property

  • Maintain inventory of tools, parts, equipment, and supplies
  • Conduct regular inspections of common areas, grounds, building systems, and units as needed
  • Help ensure the property remains safe, clean, and inspection-ready
  • Work with property management to address urgent issues, resident concerns, vendor needs, and property priorities
  • Participate in on-call/emergency response and respond to after-hours maintenance emergencies as needed
  • Follow company policies, safety procedures, and applicable housing/property regulations

Requirements:
  • At least 5 years of hands-on maintenance experience preferred
  • At least 2 years of maintenance leadership, lead tech, or supervisory experience preferred
  • Strong working knowledge of plumbing, electrical, HVAC, appliance repair, carpentry, drywall, painting, locks, doors, and general building repairs
  • HVAC/EPA certification strongly preferred
  • Experience with work orders, apartment turns, inspections, preventative maintenance, and emergency repairs
  • Experience leading, training, or directing maintenance staff, porters, vendors, or other site support
  • Ability to communicate professionally with residents, property staff, vendors, and leadership
  • Ability to stay calm, organized, and responsive in a busy property environment
  • Comfortable working in a senior affordable housing community where residents may have long-standing maintenance concerns or urgent needs
  • Ability to help bring structure to a property, organize work orders, improve team performance, and address deferred maintenance
  • Apartment maintenance, affordable housing, senior housing, public housing, high-rise, hotel, healthcare, or facilities maintenance experience strongly preferred
  • Experience with affordable housing programs, HUD, LIHTC, PBRA, public housing, REAC/NSPIRE, or other physical inspection standards preferred
