Lead Maintenance Technician

Lead Maintenance Technician

Allentown, PA | Full-Time W2 | $30–35/hr + Bonus

Join a Team That Takes Pride in Quality Housing

At Prospect Property Management & Maintenance , we maintain and improve residential properties across the Greater Lehigh Valley area.

We’re looking for a hands-on maintenance leader who is comfortable wearing multiple hats: leading a small crew, troubleshooting property issues, and jumping in to get the work done.

This is not a desk manager role.

This is ideal for someone who enjoys facilities/property maintenance, leading by example, problem solving, and keeping operations running smoothly.

What You'll Be Responsible For

You’ll oversee a small 2-person maintenance team while remaining heavily involved in day-to-day field operations.

Responsibilities include:

• Leading, training, and coordinating maintenance technicians and vendors
• Managing work orders, turnovers, inspections, and preventive maintenance
• Performing hands-on maintenance work across residential properties including:

— Plumbing repairs
— Electrical troubleshooting & minor repairs
— HVAC maintenance/troubleshooting
— Drywall, painting, carpentry, doors/windows
— General property upkeep & repairs

• Conducting move-out / turnover inspections and ensuring units are rent-ready
• Managing materials, supplies, tools, and maintenance documentation
• Updating work orders and maintenance activity in AppFolio (or similar systems)
• Communicating professionally with residents, vendors, and internal team members

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

You’re likely a fit if you have:

✔ Strong hands-on maintenance experience (property, facilities, residential, commercial, or multifamily)

✔ Experience across multiple trades: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, drywall, painting, general repairs

✔ Experience leading or coordinating technicians, vendors, or small crews

✔ Ability to prioritize work independently and stay organized

✔ Comfortable balancing leadership responsibilities with rolling up your sleeves when needed

✔ Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and personal tools

AppFolio / CMMS experience is a plus but not required.

Requirements

• Valid driver’s license and reliable personal vehicle
• Ability to travel locally between properties in the Allentown area
• Personal tools required to perform maintenance tasks
• Ability to work independently while coordinating with management
• Willingness to work occasional evenings or weekends if urgent issues arise

Benefits

Compensation & Schedule

$30–35/hr (W2)

Schedule:
Monday–Friday
8:00 AM – 4:30 PM

Why This Role?

This is a strong fit for someone who wants:

✔ Leadership responsibility without managing a large department
✔ Variety in day-to-day work
✔ Autonomy and ownership
✔ A small, collaborative team environment
✔ The opportunity to make a visible impact on properties and residents
