We are looking for a Service Manager.

Service Managers are the backbone of our apartment communities. Aimco believes that the appearance and maintenance operations of our apartment communities are in many ways a direct reflection of the integrity and professionalism of the Service Managers who support them. We are looking for service-minded professionals who are up to the challenge!

The Service Manager is maintenance leader who schedules and performs all maintenance activities of a community including construction, installations, and repairs for a multi-million dollar apartment community as defined by Aimco policies and procedures. The ideal Service Manager has team-lead experience combined with a strong jack-of-all-trades aptitude in appliance repair, carpentry, plumbing, machine and equipment repair, electrical, HVAC, painting, drywall, and carpentry/framing.

A Service Manager is a team leader. A successful Service Manager builds and maintains a team-oriented environment and encourages the maintenance staff to rely on each others strengths. Aimco believes that successful Service Managers have a roll up their sleeves mentality with the know-how to perform all apartment maintenance requirements, but who can also lead and delegate responsibilities to their service team. The size of each maintenance team usually depends upon the size of its community.

Finally, a Service Manager is a customer service leader. Being a people person is not enough. The ideal candidate must be able to address the maintenance concerns of our residents in a friendly and professional manner. A successful candidate must have strong organizational abilities, follow-up skills, and a great attention to detail.

Are you the right person for the Job?
The ideal Service Manager will have previous apartment management experience. The right candidate must be HVAC-certified and have 5-plus years of maintenance and team-lead experience, preferably in a facilities or building environment.
