About us: Rock Harbor Management is a locally owned operator of boutique apartments. We buy and reposition and rebrand apartments into communities that our residents are proud to call home. We have over two decades of apartment value add experience working and previously managing 20,000+ apartments across the country. Our founder is now bringing that expertise locally as we aim to grow regionally and then nationally. Come join us and be a part of the growth!

The Role: We are searching for a Head of Construction & Maintenance. This role works directly with the Senior Management Team to direct the daily operations of the in-house Maintenance/Service Department and Construction/Rehab Departments.
The Maintenance/Service Teams are the customer facing side of the operations. They perform 24/Hr. customer service requests within our Apartment Communities. This could include HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, light Carpentry and overall curb appeal of the communities. This team is also responsible for the scheduling and completion of apartment “Turns” or move outs. They pre-walk the apartments and then plan the required turn work to make the apartment ready for a new tenant. They work hand in hand with the Property Management Teams to meet these goals. This department works with vendors such as Cleaners, Landscapers, Snow Removal, Roofers, Plumbers and Electricians to meet the everyday needs of the apartment communities and our residents.
The Construction/Rehab Department is made up of in-house Carpentry crews. These teams work on both new acquisition or “Start Ups” and interior remodels of stabilized apartment communities. The “Start Up” projects range in size from 10-100 unit apartment communities with rehab budgets from $250,000 to $2M. These projects are typically 3-6 months and encompass the full reposition of both the interiors of apartments and the exteriors with a focus on curb appeal and onsite amenities. The range of trades includes Roofing, Asphalt, Painting, Solar PV, Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC, Site work and Landscaping.
