Service Manager - Brizo Apartment Homes

You used to know us as "AIR Apartment Homes" but now we're called "AIR Communities!"  Though the company has changed, our approach to property management has not.  We will continue to do whatever it takes to make our residents feel at home - it's just in our nature!  We are still passionate about providing quality apartments homes, in a respectful environment, across twenty key markets in the USA. We are a publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), who has, for more than 25 years, built its business around a relentless focus on our customer and our award-winning culture.

Service/Maintenance Managers make our apartment communities a great place to live.   We take pride in the appearance and maintenance of our communities, and our residents tell us this is one of the most important reasons they choose to call us home. 

You will oversee operations at our Brizo Apartments located in Durham, NC.  Check them out for yourself here:  Brizo - Apartments in Durham, NC - Home!
