Compliance & Safety Oversight - Proactively manage OSHA, HUD, and municipal code requirements while mitigating risk

5+ years in maintenance leadership, construction ops, or field service management (residential property experience a plus)
Proven ability to lead field teams and supervise remote job execution
Experience with P&L oversight, labor cost control, and vendor negotiations
Strong command of maintenance systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, etc.) and modern tools for tracking work
Analytical mindset – you know how to use spreadsheets, dashboards, and reports to improve results
Process-focused, execution-first, and not afraid to coach, correct, or change direction when needed
Bonus: Familiarity with property management systems, mobile workforce software, or scheduling platforms
