Environmental Services Director / Maintenance Director

Charter Senior Living of Calumet Trace | Owensboro, KY
$58,000–$60,000/year | Full-Time

Take Ownership of the Building. Lead From the Front. Keep Our Community Running.

Charter Senior Living of Calumet Trace is seeking an experienced, dependable, and hands-on Environmental Services Director / Maintenance Director to oversee the maintenance, safety, and overall physical condition of our senior living community.

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their building.

Someone who notices a problem before it becomes a bigger one, knows how to troubleshoot and make repairs, stays ahead of preventative maintenance, and understands that a well-maintained community directly impacts the safety, comfort, and experience of our residents.

This is not a desk-only leadership position. We need a leader who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves, solving problems, and getting the job done.

What We're Looking For

Hands-On Maintenance Expertise • Building Ownership • Dependability & Problem-Solving

Hands-On Maintenance Expertise

You don't have to call a vendor for every problem.

You have practical working knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, electrical, general repairs, and building systems and know when an issue can be handled internally versus when a licensed contractor or specialized vendor is needed.

Ownership Mentality

You treat the community like it's your own building.

You stay ahead of preventative maintenance, follow through on work orders, keep resident apartments move-in ready, monitor the condition of the property, and take action when something needs attention.

Dependable Problem-Solver

In senior living, maintenance directly affects residents.

We're looking for someone who responds with urgency, professionalism, and good judgment while staying organized enough to balance routine maintenance with unexpected issues.

What You'll Own

As Environmental Services Director, you'll oversee the overall maintenance and physical environment of Calumet Trace, including:

• Lead and manage daily maintenance operations throughout the community

• Maintain resident apartments, common areas, offices, grounds, and exterior spaces

• Develop, perform, and track preventative maintenance

• Troubleshoot and address HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general building-maintenance issues

• Respond promptly and professionally to resident and department work orders

• Coordinate repairs and determine when outside vendors or contractors are necessary

• Manage vendor relationships and oversee contractor work

• Maintain equipment and building systems in safe operating condition

• Support apartment turns and ensure apartments are ready for new resident move-ins

• Conduct routine inspections and proactively identify maintenance needs

• Maintain appropriate maintenance records and documentation

• Support life-safety systems, inspections, and regulatory readiness

• Ensure the community meets applicable safety requirements and company standards

• Maintain organized maintenance areas, tools, equipment, and supplies

• Help monitor department expenses and maintenance supplies

• Partner with the Executive Director and other department leaders

• Provide excellent service to residents, families, associates, and guests

• Drive the community vehicle as needed

• Respond to urgent maintenance needs as required

What You Bring

Required

• Previous maintenance experience

• Previous maintenance leadership or supervisory experience

• Strong hands-on knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general building maintenance

• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities

• Experience with preventative maintenance

• Ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently

• Strong organization and follow-through

• Professional communication and customer-service skills

• Valid driver's license

• Ability to respond appropriately to urgent maintenance situations

Preferred

• Previous senior living, Assisted Living, healthcare, hospitality, multifamily housing, or similar facilities experience

• Previous Maintenance Director, Environmental Services Director, Facilities Manager, Chief Engineer, or comparable leadership experience

• Experience coordinating vendors and contractors

• Experience with apartment turns and move-in readiness

• Knowledge of life-safety systems, inspections, and regulatory requirements

The Leader We're Looking For

You'll likely be a strong fit at Calumet Trace if you:

• Take pride in the appearance and condition of your building

• Don't wait for someone else to point out what needs attention

• Are comfortable fixing things yourself

• Know when it's appropriate to bring in a specialized vendor

• Stay ahead of preventative maintenance instead of constantly reacting to emergencies

• Follow through until a problem is completely resolved

• Can prioritize resident needs and urgent repairs appropriately

• Keep your department, tools, records, and projects organized

• Communicate professionally with residents and families

• Work well with other department leaders

• Understand that you're working in our residents' home, not simply maintaining a commercial building

• Are dependable when the community needs you
