Maintenance Manager – Multi-Property Operations
Fairfield Inn & Suites Kelowna | Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kelowna | The Hub Strip Mall | Creekside Plaza
An exciting opportunity has become available for an experienced Maintenance Manager to oversee facilities operations across four well-established properties in Kelowna, British Columbia.
This unique leadership role is responsible for the maintenance operations of the Fairfield Inn & Suites Kelowna and Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kelowna, while also providing oversight and support to The Hub Strip Mall and Creekside Plaza.
We're looking for a professional who takes pride in keeping buildings operating at their best and understands that exceptional facilities don't happen by accident—they're built through proactive maintenance, strong planning, and attention to detail.
This position is ideal for a Red Seal tradesperson, commercial building operator, or experienced facilities professional looking to take the next step into multi-property leadership while enjoying long-term stability, meaningful autonomy, and opportunities for professional growth.
This is not a desk job. You'll spend time in the field, solving problems, supporting your teams, and leading by example. You'll have the freedom to manage your portfolio, implement improvements, and make decisions that directly influence the success of our properties.
If you're someone who enjoys variety, values work-life balance and wants to build a long-term career with an organization that trusts and supports its leaders, we'd love to hear from you.
