Property Manager

Rise Real Estate • Newark, NJ

26d • $80,000 - $85,000 • Onsite

About The Position

At Maple Hall, an off-campus student housing community serving NJIT, we’re looking for a Property Manager with a facilities and operations mindset — someone who takes pride in keeping a building running smoothly, teams aligned, and residents supported behind the scenes.

This is not an entry level or leasing role. There are no tours, no sales goals. Instead, your focus is on operations, maintenance leadership, and delivering a safe, fully functional living environment for students.

You’ll walk the property and notice the things others don’t — a system running inefficiently, a maintenance trend that needs attention, a process that could be tighter.
You’ll lead a team that includes a Maintenance Supervisor, technicians, and housekeeping staff, making sure work gets done right, quickly, and consistently.
You’ll also work closely with NJIT partners, ensuring expectations are met, communication is strong, and the community remains in full alignment with university standards.
During peak times like move-in and move-out, you’ll help orchestrate high-volume turns — keeping everything organized, efficient, and on schedule.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in student housing, facilities management, or multifamily operations
• Strong experience leading maintenance and/or housekeeping teams
• Solid understanding of building systems and multi-unit operations
• Someone who is hands-on, observant, and operationally driven
• Comfortable working with external partners (university or institutional preferred)
• Highly organized, responsive, and able to manage high-volume environments
• A problem-solver who takes ownership and follows through

Responsibilities

• Overseeing daily operations of a large student housing community
• Leading and supporting maintenance and housekeeping teams
• Ensuring timely completion of work orders and preventative maintenance
• Managing unit turns during high-volume move-in/move-out periods
• Maintaining building systems, safety standards, and overall property condition
• Partnering directly with NJIT and attending regular meetings with university stakeholders
• Ensuring compliance with all operational, safety, and housing standards
• Identifying issues early and solving problems before they escalate

Benefits

• $80,000 – $85,000 salary, based on experience
• Bonus potential
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with company match
• Generous paid time off, including vacation, sick time, and holidays
• Benefits begin the first of the month after hire
