Maintenance Supervisor

Full-timeOn-siteMid LevelPosted 4 days ago

Lead a Skilled Team. Solve Real Problems. Build Something That Lasts.

Some leaders manage from behind a desk.

Others earn respect because they've been in the field, understand the work, and know when to lead, when to coach, and when to roll up their sleeves.

We're looking for the second type.

This opportunity is ideal for an experienced tradesperson or maintenance leader who enjoys developing people, solving technical challenges, and creating an environment where safety, accountability, and professionalism come first.

If you're looking to leave self-employment for greater stability—or you're an experienced supervisor ready for an operational challenge—we'd like to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll provide day-to-day leadership to a team of skilled technicians while ensuring maintenance activities, repairs, and improvement projects are completed safely, efficiently, and to a high standard.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading, mentoring, and supporting a team of maintenance technicians.

  • Planning daily work and setting priorities.

  • Coordinating preventative maintenance programs.

  • Troubleshooting mechanical and building-related issues.

  • Supporting renovation, repair, and improvement projects.

  • Coordinating specialized contractors when required.

  • Monitoring maintenance spending and material requirements.

  • Performing regular inspections and identifying opportunities for improvement.

  • Promoting a culture built around communication, accountability, and safety.

  • Responding to operational issues as they arise.

Who We're Looking For

We're not focused on job titles.

We're looking for practical leaders with strong mechanical aptitude and a proven ability to earn the respect of the people around them.

Strong backgrounds include:

  • HVAC

  • Electrical

  • Plumbing

  • Carpentry

  • Millwright

  • Industrial maintenance

  • Mechanical trades

  • Construction leadership

  • Building maintenance

Preferred Experience

  • 5+ years in maintenance, construction, or technical operations.

  • Previous supervisory, foreman, or team lead experience.

  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities.

  • Experience coordinating multiple priorities.

  • Comfortable making decisions and taking ownership.

  • Strong written and verbal communication.

  • Computer literacy.

  • Construction management experience is considered an asset.

  • 5th Class Power Engineering is considered an asset.

You'll Thrive Here If You...

  • Lead through action instead of title.

  • Coach people rather than manage them.

  • Communicate clearly and professionally.

  • Believe safety is never negotiable.

  • Stay calm under pressure.

  • Take pride in quality workmanship.

  • Like building strong teams.

  • Want long-term stability with opportunities to grow.

This Probably Isn't for You If...

  • You struggle with communication.

  • You avoid accountability.

  • You need constant direction.

  • You prefer politics over teamwork.

  • Safety isn't your first priority.

Compensation

$80,000–$90,000 per year

Comprehensive compensation package.
