On-Site Property Manager – 125-Unit Apartment Portfolio
We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Property Manager to oversee an approximately 125-unit apartment portfolio in Memphis, TN.
This is an on-site, full-time position.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage day-to-day property operations
- Leasing, tenant communication, renewals, move-ins and move-outs
- Maintain strong occupancy and minimize vacancy
- Handle rent collection, delinquencies, payment arrangements and non-paying residents
- Coordinate notices, collections and eviction processes when necessary
- Maintain high resident satisfaction while consistently enforcing lease terms and property policies
- Manage and coordinate our in-house maintenance team
- Prioritize maintenance requests, unit turns and property projects
- Monitor property conditions and ensure issues are addressed quickly
- Control operating expenses and make sure labor and materials are being used efficiently
- Source materials and supplies at competitive pricing
- Review expenses and look for opportunities to reduce costs without sacrificing quality
- Provide regular reporting to ownership regarding occupancy, collections, leasing, maintenance and property performance
Leasing & Tenant Placement – VERY IMPORTANT
We are looking for someone who understands that successful leasing requires more than simply posting vacancies on Zillow.
The ideal candidate should have existing knowledge, relationships and/or experience with alternative tenant-placement channels in Memphis, including:
- Local tenant-placement and apartment-locator companies
- Small independent/mom-and-pop placement companies
- Housing assistance and relocation organizations
- Charities and nonprofit housing organizations
- Government-supported and housing-assistance programs
- Local employers, community organizations and other referral sources
You should be able to come into the position with a real strategy for generating qualified leads and filling vacancies, rather than relying exclusively on traditional online listing sites.
Collections & Delinquencies – VERY IMPORTANT
Strong collections skills are essential.
We need someone who is comfortable following up consistently with delinquent residents, enforcing payment deadlines, negotiating reasonable payment arrangements when appropriate, issuing required notices and moving the eviction/collection process forward when necessary.
The right person understands how to maintain good resident relationships without allowing collections or lease enforcement to fall behind.
Cost Control & Problem Solving – VERY IMPORTANT
We are looking for someone who treats property expenses as carefully as they would their own money.
You should have a natural ability to:
- Find cost-effective solutions to problems
- Manage maintenance labor efficiently
- Shop around for materials and supplies
- Avoid unnecessary repairs and replacements
- Prioritize projects based on urgency and cost
- Make sure the in-house maintenance team is productive and completing work correctly
- Get the job done properly while spending as little as reasonably possible
We value someone who thinks, “How can I solve this properly for less?” before simply approving an expense.
Qualifications
- Prior apartment/property management experience required
- Strong leasing and occupancy-management experience
- Strong rent collection and delinquency-management skills
- Knowledge of the Memphis rental market
- Experience managing maintenance staff
- Strong communication and organizational skills
- Comfortable enforcing leases and property policies
- Ability to manage multiple priorities independently
- Strong problem-solving and cost-control mindset
- Experience managing a 100+ unit portfolio preferred
We are looking for someone who takes ownership of the properties and their performance — someone who is proactive, resourceful and focused on occupancy, collections, resident satisfaction and controlling expenses.

Pay: $60,000.00 per year

Site Manager Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a site manager in Tennessee?
Most site manager roles in Tennessee require a contractor's license from the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors, which oversees residential, commercial, and home improvement licensing through separate classifications. Candidates typically pursue a degree in construction management, civil engineering, or a related field, then gain field experience as a superintendent or project engineer. Earning credentials such as the OSHA 30-Hour certification and a Project Management Professional designation strengthens a Tennessee application considerably.
Which companies hire site managers in Tennessee?
Tennessee site manager roles are posted by Whistle Express Car Wash, Oracle, and Amazon and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Tennessee's mix of large-scale infrastructure projects, automotive manufacturing campuses, and commercial development keeps demand for site managers broad across both private contractors and owner-operator employers throughout the state.
Which Tennessee cities have the most site manager jobs?
Nashville, Memphis, and Tennessee lead Tennessee for site manager openings. Nashville's rapid commercial and mixed-use development drives the largest share of postings, while Memphis anchors logistics and industrial construction along major freight corridors, and Knoxville benefits from steady federal and utility-sector work tied to the Tennessee Valley Authority's ongoing capital projects.
Are there remote site manager jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, but they're rare. About 15% of site manager openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of overseeing active construction and industrial sites. The portions of the role most likely to allow remote flexibility are pre-construction planning, bid management, and administrative reporting rather than active site supervision.
How can I get hired as a site manager in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through an assistant superintendent or field coordinator role at a mid-size Tennessee general contractor, where on-the-job mentorship is common. Employers such as Turner Construction and Skanska run structured associate programs in Tennessee for candidates with a construction management degree but limited field experience. Starting in scheduling, estimating, or safety coordination at an employer with active Tennessee projects and pursuing a Tennessee contractor's license exam creates a clear progression into full site management responsibility.
Where can I find and apply to site manager jobs in Tennessee?
You can find and apply to site manager jobs in Tennessee on Migrate Mate, which lists current Tennessee openings across commercial construction, industrial facilities, and infrastructure sectors. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level and project type, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
