Job Overview SkyRun Vermont is looking for a dependable, experienced, and hands-on Property Maintenance Manager to take the lead on maintenance and property care across our growing portfolio of vacation rental homes. This is not a desk-based facilities management position. We are looking for someone who enjoys working in the field, solving problems, completing repairs, and taking ownership of the overall condition of our properties. The primary focus of this position will be responding to maintenance needs, performing preventative maintenance, coordinating outside contractors, and proactively identifying repairs and improvement projects for our homeowners.

Schedule This is a full-time, year-round position. Vacation rentals operate seven days a week, so some weekend, holiday, and after-hours availability will be required. This is particularly important during Vermont's peak ski and foliage seasons. While we work to maintain a reasonable schedule, the right candidate will understand that urgent issues at an occupied vacation rental—such as loss of heat, water, or another essential service—occasionally require immediate attention.
