Woodard Properties, a locally owned property management and development company in Charlottesville, is seeking an experienced Project & Renovation Supervisor to join our Facilities Team.

This is a highly hands-on leadership position ideal for a skilled construction professional who enjoys working with their tools as much as they enjoy leading projects and people. The successful candidate will be expected to actively perform renovation, carpentry, construction, and maintenance work while overseeing project execution, coordinating subcontractors, and ensuring high-quality results.

Position Summary

The Project & Renovation Supervisor leads residential and commercial renovation projects from planning through completion while serving as a working member of the construction team. Unlike a traditional project management role, this position requires extensive hands-on involvement in day-to-day renovation, repair, construction, and maintenance activities.

In addition to renovation and construction work, this position requires the ability to troubleshoot, diagnose, and perform repairs on residential and commercial building systems, including appliances, HVAC equipment, plumbing, electrical components, and general maintenance items.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform carpentry, renovation, remodeling, repair, and construction work on a daily basis.
  • Lead by example as a working supervisor, spending most of the time in the field rather than in an office environment.
  • Plan, coordinate, and oversee residential and commercial renovation and improvement projects.
  • Perform and supervise framing, trim carpentry, drywall, flooring, finish work, and other skilled trades work.
  • Manage project schedules, budgets, materials procurement, and resource allocation.
  • Coordinate and oversee subcontractors, vendors, and specialty trades.
  • Troubleshoot construction, maintenance, and building systems challenges and provide practical, hands-on solutions.
  • Troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair residential and commercial appliances, including refrigerators, ranges, dishwashers, washers, dryers, and other common equipment.
  • Perform maintenance, troubleshooting, and minor-to-moderate repairs on HVAC systems and related mechanical equipment.
  • Diagnose and resolve issues involving plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and other building systems.
  • Respond to complex maintenance issues and provide practical repair solutions to minimize downtime and operating costs.
  • Support the Facilities and Maintenance Teams with specialized repairs, system evaluations, and preventive maintenance initiatives.
  • Prepare scopes of work, project timelines, and cost estimates.
  • Ensure compliance with building codes, safety regulations, and company standards.
  • Oversee unit turnovers, rehabs, capital improvements, and property upgrades.
  • Maintain inventory of tools, equipment, and building materials.
  • Build positive working relationships with tenants, contractors, vendors, and team members.
  • Assist with inclement-weather preparedness and participate in an on-call rotation (approximately 6 weeks per year) for after-hours maintenance emergencies.

Qualifications

  • 15+ years of hands-on experience in construction, carpentry, renovation, remodeling, and property or facilities maintenance.
  • Proven experience leading renovation projects while actively performing skilled trades work.
  • Strong carpentry skills, including framing, trim work, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and finish carpentry.
  • Demonstrated experience in troubleshooting and repairing residential and commercial appliances.
  • Working knowledge of HVAC systems, including the ability to diagnose common operational issues and perform repairs and component replacements.
  • Experience in general property maintenance, including plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and building systems troubleshooting.
  • Strong diagnostic and problem-solving abilities with a broad understanding of residential and commercial building operations.
  • Ability and willingness to perform physically demanding work on a regular basis.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Experience supervising contractors, trades personnel, and project teams.
  • Strong knowledge of construction methods, building systems, and workplace safety practices.
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints, project plans, and technical specifications.
  • Experience with project budgeting, estimating, and scheduling.
  • Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
