Dream is looking for an Assistant Property Manager

We are always looking for the best and brightest to join our thriving community. Dream’s Property Management team is currently looking for an Assistant Property Manager to support our Downtown Operations team.

This role will require strong experience in anticipating the needs of tenants, building relationships, and a keen attention to detail.

Who are we?

Dream is a leading Canadian real estate company with $12 billion of assets under management in Canada. We develop, manage, and invest in master-planned communities and income properties. We proudly build communities from the ground up: from land development to buildings, homes and condominiums, and from providing retail centres and driving renewable energy projects to managing assets across the country.

Our employees are the heart and soul of our business performance, which is why we believe in putting people first.

What are your characteristics and attributes?

Over the three years you’ve worked in commercial property management, you’ve proven that you are not afraid to think outside the box to find the best approach to achieve results. You are proactive, leading by example rather than sitting back. You consider the bigger picture when focusing on new initiatives, and you thrive on driving improvement and efficiency. Your understanding of our tenant needs is apparent through your clear written and verbal communication skills. You are team-oriented, and people enjoy collaborating with you.

We want to hire someone who is eager to learn, work hard, and have fun. In other words, we want you to fit in here. This is an opportunity for you to take on responsibilities, build on your already strong skill set, and help your team achieve its goals, all in a work environment that is fast-paced, dynamic, and fun.

What will you do as an Assistant Property Manager?

Below are some of the primary responsibilities you will be taking on in this role:

• With the guidance of the Property Manager, establish and maintain a professional working relationship with tenants by responding to all requests in a prompt and courteous manner;
• Monitor DreamPlus as required and dispatch requests to Operators;
• Maintain insurance binders for designated properties and ensure tenant insurance certificates are current, compliant, and in accordance with the relevant terms of the lease;
• Assist with the preparation of tenant communication;
• Assist as necessary in the coordination and administration of property initiatives, including sustainability and environmental initiatives, building maintenance and repairs programs, capital improvement projects, and leasehold improvements;
• Assist in the co-ordination of the emergency response and fire warden training for each property;
• Assist Property Manager in the administration of building service contracts; preparation of tender and standard service agreements as necessary;
• Maintain all necessary databases for portfolio, including tenants, contracts, service providers, and emergency contact information;
• Assist the Property Manager in the efficient administration of the parking facility inventory;
• Coordinate tenant events and initiatives, including health and fitness programs, charitable fundraising opportunities, building social events, and special celebrations;
• Actively participate in the annual operating and corporate budgeting process and monthly financial reporting;
• Monitor the A/R and work with the Property Manager to ensure prompt payment of all tenant charges;
• Participate in internal meetings and maintain necessary forms regarding Capex and Leasing Commitments;
• Provide support and backup in the entering of purchase orders, processing of payable invoices, and manual billings.

What type of experience is required?

These are only some of the things we’d like you to bring to the table. We can cover the rest when we meet.

• Experience in commercial property management; demonstrated proficiency in lease and contract interpretation.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office: Excel and Word.
• Experience in Angus Systems Tenant Services Request and JD Edwards Enterprise One systems would be an asset.
