The posting

At Van Metre, we believe that each employee contributes directly to our growth, success and culture, and we are seeking a candidate who loves to challenge themselves and work with others to fulfill this role. Van Metre has a Lease-Up Service Manager position available at Sablemill Apartments in Charlotte, NC!

Position Summary

The Lease-Up Service Manager will lead maintenance and service operations for Sablemill, a new 281-unit Class A multifamily community, from construction through lease-up, stabilization, and ongoing operations. This hands-on leader will prepare the community for opening, oversee apartment and building turnover, coordinate warranty and punch-list work, and build a strong service team.

This is an opportunity to help launch a brand-new Class A community, build a service team from the ground up, and play a key role in creating the resident experience from day one. The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader who enjoys solving problems, building teams, working across departments, and taking ownership in a fast-paced environment.

Essential Responsibilities

Phase 1: Pre-Opening and Construction Turnover

  • Partner with the Property Manager, Construction, Development, and Facilities leadership to prepare apartments, amenities, common areas, and building systems for opening.
  • Participate in unit, building, and amenity walks; track punch-list items and confirm work is complete before residents move in.
  • Coordinate warranty work, contractor follow-up, and building-system startup.
  • Establish preventive maintenance schedules, inventory controls, safety practices, and service standards for the community.
  • Recruit, train, schedule, and lead service team members as staffing is added throughout the lease-up.

Phase 2: Lease-Up and Occupancy Ramp

  • Lead daily maintenance operations during apartment deliveries, lease-up, and resident move-ins.
  • Manage work orders, move-in inspections, apartment readiness, warranty items, and emergency service needs.
  • Partner with the Property Manager and leasing team to support upcoming move-ins, tour readiness, and resident satisfaction.
  • Maintain curb appeal and ensure apartments, amenities, common areas, and service spaces are clean, safe, and ready.
  • Manage service vendors and contractors and ensure work is completed safely, correctly, and on time.
  • Monitor maintenance expenses, inventory, and warranty responsibilities.
  • Participate in the on-call rotation and respond to emergencies as needed.

Phase 3: Stabilization and Ongoing Operations

  • Lead preventive maintenance, apartment turns, inspections, vendor management, and day-to-day service operations.
  • Coach and develop a service team focused on quality, accountability, and resident service.
  • Partner with the Property Manager on maintenance budgeting, staffing, planning, and long-term property needs.
  • Maintain required equipment, warranty, inspection, safety, and service records.
  • Find practical ways to improve efficiency, reliability, and the resident experience.

Qualifications

  • Experience with a new-construction multifamily community, lease-up, major renovation, acquisition, or property transition is required.
  • Previous multifamily maintenance leadership experience as a Service Manager or Maintenance Supervisor.
  • Strong knowledge of apartment maintenance, unit turns, preventive maintenance, building systems, safety practices, and work-order management.
  • Demonstrated experience leading, developing, and holding a service team accountable.
  • Strong troubleshooting, organizational, vendor-management, and communication skills, with the ability to prioritize work and make sound decisions in a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience managing contractors, service vendors, inventory, and maintenance expenses.
  • Knowledge of Yardi, HappyCo, or a similar property-management and work-order system.
  • EPA and CPO certifications required (or the ability to obtain required certifications).
  • Valid driver’s license and availability to participate in an on-call rotation.
