About Aria Communities
Aria Communities is a private real estate operator dedicated to cultivating vibrant, secure neighborhoods through high-quality, affordable housing. We own and operate manufactured home communities across Ohio, Florida, South Carolina, and Kansas, and we run them with professionalism and integrity. As we expand, our mission stays the same: to provide homes where families flourish and communities thrive.
This is a hands-on role at a real community with real residents. You'll be the person they see, know, and rely on. If you take pride in your work and want to see the results of it every day, you'll do well here.
The Role
You'll keep Aria Marion looking sharp and running right - Mowing and grounds work, resident repairs, light improvement projects, and utilities across the community. You report to the on-site property manager and work independently day to day.
What You'll Do
Grounds & Curb Appeal
- Mow, trim, and edge common areas and vacant lots on a weekly schedule
- Walk the community daily to pick up trash, spot problems early, and keep it looking sharp
- Plant and maintain flower beds, mulch, and landscaping
- Handle seasonal work: leaf cleanup, snow and ice management
Resident Maintenance
- Respond to resident maintenance requests promptly and professionally
- Log work orders and keep the manager current on status
Light Capital Projects
- Power wash homes, skirting, sheds, and common structures
- Repair and replace mobile home skirting
- Paint, patch, and handle minor siding repairs
Vacant Home Turns
- Clean out vacant homes, haul debris, and prep units for resale or rent
- Make-ready work: Cleaning, minor repairs
Utilities
- Manage utilities across the community: water shut-offs and turn-ons, meter reads, leak detection, seasonal winterization
- Flag unusual usage or leaks before they become expensive
Schedule & Location
Full-time, Monday through Friday, on site at Aria Marion. Weekly mowing and trimming routes plus a daily walk of the property. Occasional after-hours availability for emergencies such as water leaks or storm damage.
Who We're Looking For
- Initiative — you spot problems and solve them without waiting to be told.
- Reliability — you show up, on time, and do what you said you'd do.
- Professionalism — you represent Aria well with residents, contractors, and management.
Experience & requirements
- 2+ years in grounds maintenance, landscaping, property maintenance, or a trade
- Comfortable with mowers, trimmers, blowers, power washers, hand and power tools
- General handyman ability — you can diagnose and fix without hand-holding
- Valid Ohio driver's license and reliable transportation
- Able to lift 50+ lbs and work outdoors in all seasons
- Must pass a background check and drug screen
Nice to have: manufactured housing experience, plumbing or HVAC background, bilingual English/Spanish.
What We Offer
- Competitive pay — hourly rate based on experience, reviewed annually.
- Room to grow — Aria is expanding, and we promote from within. Strong performers move into regional and multi-property roles.
- Direct line to ownership — small company, no bureaucracy. Your ideas get heard, not buried.
