• Coordinate with internal teams (property operations, landscaping, vendor management) to ensure seamless execution.

• Assist with hiring, onboarding, and performance management of operational staff as needed.

• Identify process gaps and recommend practical solutions that improve efficiency and resident experience.

Required Qualifications

• Direct construction, facilities, or property maintenance experience with the ability to evaluate and resolve a wide range of building and site issues.

• Strong leadership, coaching, and accountability skills with field teams.

• Ability to read and interpret plans, scopes of work, and technical specifications.

• Excellent organizational and prioritization skills in a multi-site environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in multifamily property operations, construction or large-scale residential portfolios.

• Background developing SOPs or training programs for technical teams.

• Knowledge of common multifamily systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, life safety, exteriors).

Compensation
