We’re seeking a hands-on Maintenance Manager — a working leader who can diagnose, repair, and maintain all building systems in a luxury condominium environment.

- FBC, NEC, and NFPA compliance
- Strong working knowledge of HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and building automation systems.
- Ability to read schematics, use diagnostic tools, and perform repairs independently.
- Excellent organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills.
