Property and Maintenance Manager with Brightisle

Build What Matters. Lead What’s Next.

Are you the kind of leader who notices a maintenance issue before anyone else does? Do you thrive on turning chaos into clear plans and checklists? Can you balance big-picture planning with jumping in to get the job done?

Good! We need you.

Brightisle is looking for a hands-on, strategic, and people-focused Property & Maintenance Manager to lead the provincial operations, upkeep, and improvement of our homes — and help us raise the bar on what safe, high-quality living environments look like in community-based care.

We are energized by the challenge to improve our collective health and well-being and to make care better. Our approach to services and programs is flexible and dynamic, embracing innovation and technology – while always keeping people and communities front and centre.

Our programs have over 25 years of operating experience and combined employ over 1000 individuals in the direct delivery of health and community care-related services. Our professional teams offer a diverse range of services including home support, residential care for children and youth, support for adults with I/DD and mental health and addictions, settlement services, supervised access for families as well as private health and occupational health and safety services.

The homes we operate aren’t just buildings — they’re places where people live, grow, and receive care. That’s why we’re committed to maintaining spaces that are safe, functional, and built to support well-being.

We’re guided by a set of values that shape how we work every day:

• Everyone Matters – We respect and value every individual
• Be Honest and Kind – We lead with integrity and compassion
• Make it Happen – We take ownership and follow through
• Find a Better Way – We embrace innovation and continuous improvement
• Have Fun – We support each other and celebrate the wins 

What You’ll Do (Besides Keep Everything Running)

You’ll own property and maintenance operations across the province—leading teams, managing projects, and keeping multiple homes running safely and smoothly—by:

·       Leading the Work (and the People) – Guide and support a high-performing maintenance team while setting priorities and driving a culture of accountability, safety, and pride.

·       Keeping Homes Safe & Running Smoothly – Oversee maintenance from request to completion, ensuring timely repairs, preventative care, and hands-on support when needed.

·       Owning Projects & Partnerships – Lead renovations and improvements, managing contractors and vendors while balancing in-house and outsourced work.

·       Driving Quality & Compliance – Ensure all properties meet safety and regulatory standards, proactively identifying risks and reinforcing a strong safety culture.

·       Managing Budgets & Operations – Control costs, track budgets, and maintain accurate records using systems to drive efficiency and informed decision-making.

·       Collaborating Like a Pro – Partner with internal teams to support operations, new home setups, and act as the go-to expert for all facilities needs.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in maintenance, facilities, or property operations. Post-secondary education in a related field is an asset.
• Experience leading or supervising a team
• Strong background managing contractors, vendors, and projects
• Proven ability to decide when to outsource vs. keep work in-house
• A mix of technical expertise and leadership capability
• Valid driver’s license and clean driver’s abstract
• Willingness to travel provincially
• Ability to respond to urgent or after-hours needs when required
• Clear Record of Conduct, Vulnerable Sector Check, and Child, Youth & Family Services Record Check 

Who You Are

You’re equal parts planner and doer — someone who can think ahead and jump in when needed.
You take pride in creating spaces that are safe, functional, and well cared for.
You’re organized, solutions-focused, and calm under pressure — the kind of person others rely on when things need to get done.
Most importantly, you understand that the work you do behind the scenes has a direct impact on the people who call these places home.

Why you’ll love this role and working for Brightisle…

This is more than a maintenance job — it’s a chance to lead, build, and make a real impact in community-based care. You will be based at the Brightisle Offices in St. John’s and be open to traveling across the province.

You’ll have the autonomy to improve systems, the support of a strong team, and the opportunity to shape how our homes are maintained and experienced every day.

Brightisle has a strong compensation program, including health and dental benefits, RRSP matching, opportunities for education and focused career development, wellness allowance, company hotel rates and company rates for cell phone plans at Telus.
