A bit about us:

We are a rapidly growing, vertically integrated multifamily real estate organization specializing in the investment, development, construction, and management of apartment communities across multiple U.S. markets. Our portfolio includes market-rate and affordable housing designed to meet the needs of growing communities.

Our teams are driven by passion, work ethic, teamwork, integrity, and an ownership mindset. We value people who take pride in their work, follow through on their commitments, support their teammates, and make thoughtful decisions for residents and the business.

This position supports a newly opened apartment community in Austin, Texas that is currently in active lease-up. The first buildings are occupied, with additional apartments scheduled to open as construction and city approvals are completed.

Why join us?

• Join a brand-new property and learn the buildings, apartments, systems, and equipment from the beginning.
• Take immediate ownership of onsite maintenance without inheriting years of deferred work or disorganized processes.
• Work in a manageable lease-up environment where the workload will grow gradually as additional residents move in.
• Partner directly with an onsite manager who values reliability, professionalism, accountability, and follow-through.
• Build experience maintaining a modern apartment community with a pool, fitness center, activity spaces, and upgraded apartment finishes.
• Join a growing multifamily organization with continued expansion and potential long-term career opportunities.
• Work primarily Monday through Friday with consistent scheduled hours.
