Who We Are
Centurion Property Group is a private equity real estate investment and operating firm dedicated to delivering superior risk-adjusted returns through diligent analysis and operational expertise. We specialize in the acquisition, repositioning, and management of “core-plus” and “value-add” income-producing properties, with an exclusive focus on the dynamic student housing sector.
Driven by a seasoned team of industry experts, Centurion boasts extensive experience across acquisition and operations in diverse real estate sectors. We are seeking a high-performing leader who brings the same grit, precision, and ownership mentality to maintenance operations that we bring to our investments.
Job Description
The Portfolio Maintenance Manager is based out of Centurion’s Aventura, FL office and is responsible for overseeing all maintenance operations across a portfolio of Class B and Class C student housing properties. This role requires regular travel to properties across the portfolio and demands a rare combination of deep trade-level expertise and strategic operational leadership.
The ideal candidate has a track record managing multi-site maintenance portfolios and leading teams of technicians and supervisors. They understand aging building systems, thrive under pressure, and know how to build and retain high-performing maintenance teams.
Responsibilities
- Conduct regular property visits across the portfolio to inspect, support on-site teams, and resolve maintenance issues hands-on.
- Oversee all HVAC, mechanical, and life safety systems including split systems, VRV/VRF, boilers, FACP, and sprinklers — ensuring compliance and performance.
- Manage pool and spa operations across all properties, maintaining chemical balance, equipment, and health code compliance.
- Lead and develop on-site maintenance teams — hiring, mentoring, evaluating, and holding staff accountable across multiple sites.
- Manage vendors and maintenance budgets — negotiate contracts, establish service agreements, and identify cost-saving opportunities.
- Track and report on maintenance KPIs including work order completion, PM rates, backlog, and unit turnover through Entrata.
- Standardize operations by implementing and enforcing SOPs, preventive maintenance programs, and workflows portfolio-wide.
- Ensure fire/life safety compliance across all properties through regular inspections and proactive deficiency resolution.
Qualifications

- Bilingual: English & Spanish Preferred.
- Minimum 5–10 years of hands-on maintenance experience in multifamily residential or student housing properties.
- Demonstrated experience managing maintenance operations across multiple properties simultaneously (portfolio of 5+ assets or 1,000+ units strongly preferred).
- Deep, working knowledge of HVAC systems: diagnosis, repair, and preventive maintenance — not just supervisory familiarity.
- Direct experience with pool/spa maintenance: chemistry, equipment, and health code compliance.
- Proficiency with Entrata or comparable property management/maintenance work order systems.
- EPA 608 Certification (Universal or Type II/III) required.
- CPO Certification required (or must be willing to obtain within 60 days of hire).
