Salary: $70,000–$75,000 | Full-Time | Kansas City Metro
We are a growing real estate company seeking a dependable, highly organized Maintenance Operations Coordinator to oversee maintenance operations for a portfolio of over 500 rental homes across the Kansas City metro.
This is primarily a leadership, coordination, and administrative position, not a hands-on maintenance technician role. You will lead a team of six maintenance professionals, manage work orders and vendors, coordinate resources between maintenance and renovations, and keep the department organized and running efficiently.
Key Responsibilities
- Assign, prioritize, and follow up on maintenance work orders across 600+ rental units.
- Lead and coordinate a team of six maintenance technicians.
- Work with contractors and vendors to schedule repairs, obtain pricing, and ensure work is completed properly.
- Keep Rent Manager updated with work orders, notes, photos, invoices, bill backs, and follow-up items.
- Communicate with residents and the property management team regarding maintenance issues and scheduling.
- Coordinate maintenance staff with our rehab team, making available labor and resources available for turnovers and renovation work without allowing regular maintenance to fall behind.
- Coordinate single-vendor renovation projects such as HVAC replacements, roofing, tree work, and similar jobs for both company-owned properties and outside clients.
- As experience grows, assist with estimating and bidding these projects.
- Manage the maintenance on-call rotation and assist with after-hours coordination when necessary.
- Help improve systems, efficiency, accountability, and use of company labor across departments.
Qualifications
- Strong understanding of residential maintenance, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general repairs.
- Strong organizational, administrative, and follow-through skills.
- Experience leading employees and/or coordinating contractors and vendors.
- Comfortable managing multiple priorities and making decisions about where labor and resources are most needed.
- Comfortable working with computers, smartphones, and property management software. Rent Manager experience is a plus.
- Valid driver's license and ability to travel throughout the Kansas City metro as needed.
- Ability to pass a background and criminal check.
While maintenance experience is important, the primary focus of this position is managing and coordinating the work rather than personally performing repairs.
This position also offers significant opportunity for growth. A successful candidate may have the opportunity to take on broader responsibility for managing company labor and operations as they develop within the organization.
