Build the Maintenance Organization of the Future

Arboreal Management is one of the fastest-growing affordable housing developers and property management companies in the Pacific Northwest.

Our mission is simple: provide below-market rents for residents while delivering above-market returns for investors.

Over the past four years, we have approximately doubled in size each year. Today we manage more than 8,000 apartment homes across Seattle, Tacoma, and Portland and employ more than 230 team members across the United States and the Philippines.

We are not a traditional property management company.

We build software. We deploy AI. We automate workflows. We challenge industry assumptions. We believe housing operators should be as innovative as technology companies.

We're looking for a Director of Maintenance & Facilities to help us build the operational systems, training programs, and standards that will support the next decade of growth.


The Opportunity

This role is not about personally fixing work orders.

It is about building and leading an organization.

You will oversee approximately 40 maintenance technicians and supervisors and 30 cleaning staff across multiple markets. You will be responsible for creating the systems, accountability, training, and operational discipline necessary to deliver excellent resident service at scale.

You will also work closely with company leadership as we develop AI-powered maintenance operations, predictive maintenance systems, automated inspections, IoT monitoring, and other next-generation tools.

You do not need to be a software developer.

You do need to be curious, adaptable, and excited by the idea that technology can make maintenance teams more effective.


What You'll DoLead Maintenance Operations
  • Oversee maintenance and cleaning operations across a growing portfolio
  • Develop supervisors and future maintenance leaders

  • Improve emergency response procedures
  • Establish escalation standards and accountability
  • Ensure residents receive reliable service after hours

Partner with leadership to evaluate and implement:

  • AI-powered maintenance workflows
  • Predictive maintenance programs
  • Building monitoring and sensor systems
  • Automated inspections

  • New operating technologies

Who We're Looking For

You may come from multifamily housing, hospitality, healthcare facilities, military facilities operations, commercial real estate, or another large-scale field operations environment.

Most importantly, you are someone who enjoys building organizations and solving operational problems.

Qualifications
  • 7+ years of maintenance, facilities, or field operations leadership experience
  • Experience leading large teams through supervisors and managers
  • Strong understanding of maintenance operations and building systems
  • Track record of improving processes, accountability, and performance
  • Excellent organizational and communication skills
  • Comfortable using technology and data to drive decisions
You'll Stand Out If You Have
  • Multifamily housing experience
  • Experience managing multiple sites or regions

Success in This Role

Within your first year, we would expect:
