About The Position

SeaFlower Association, located in Bradenton, FL, is pleased to announce an excellent career opportunity for a Facilities Maintenance Director! We are seeking a driven individual who is eager to learn, contribute, and grow within a fast-paced hospitality-focused property organization. As part of Troon, you’ll contribute to a global leader in golf and community management. The Facilities Maintenance Director is a senior, field-focused leadership position responsible for overseeing the condition, cleanliness, functionality, and readiness of SeaFlower Community Association’s common areas, amenities, and infrastructure during active developer-controlled construction phases. SeaFlower is a large, master-planned community being built in multiple phases, with anticipated full build-out of approximately 4,000 homes. While the Developer retains responsibility for design and construction, this role is critical to protecting the Association’s interests by conducting rigorous site inspections, monitoring compliance with approved plans, and holding all parties accountable for quality, cleanliness, and workmanship. This position works collaboratively and as a peer with the Community Association Manager (CAM) and the Art of Living Director as part of an integrated leadership team. The role is intentionally structured to move away from a rigid hierarchy and instead emphasizes shared responsibility, operational crossover, and mutual accountability, ensuring continuity of service and strong community oversight. This is a field-first position. The Facilities Maintenance Director is expected to spend the majority of their time in the community—walking sites, conducting inspections, observing conditions firsthand, and engaging directly with representatives and vendors—rather than working from an office environment. This role serves as the Association’s “eyes in the community.”

Requirements

Minimum of five (5) years of progressively responsible experience in facilities maintenance, construction oversight, inspections, or related operational roles.
Demonstrated experience working in active construction or phased development environments.

Comfortable working independently in the field across a large community.
Confident, observant, and assertive without being confrontational.
Strong organizational, documentation, and communication skills.
Proficient with Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint; able to prepare clear written reports and summaries.

While performing the duties of this position, the employee is regularly required to stand, walk, talk, hear, reach, and use hands and fingers.
The employee may occasionally be required to climb, balance, stoop, kneel, crouch, and lift up to 50 pounds.
Vision abilities include close, distance, peripheral, and depth perception.
Operation of a motor vehicle may be required.
