The ideal candidate is a strong communicator and problem-solver who can manage multiple priorities, make sound decisions, and work independently in a fast-paced property management environment.

- Monitor the quality of completed maintenance work and ensure issues are resolved to the expected standard.
- Communicate with property management staff, tenants, contractors, and vendors regarding maintenance requests, scheduling, and job status.
- Coordinate outside vendors and contractors when specialized work is required.
- Identify recurring property maintenance issues and recommend appropriate solutions or preventive measures.
- Maintain accurate records and updates for work orders, repairs, and maintenance activities within AppFolio.
- Ensure completed work orders are properly documented and closed out.
- Take ownership of complex, urgent, or unresolved maintenance issues, coordinating appropriate solutions and escalating matters when management input or approval is required.
- Identify opportunities to improve maintenance processes, workflows, and team efficiency.
- Hold maintenance personnel accountable for completing assigned work accurately and within expected timelines.
Required Skills & Qualifications:
- Fluency in both English and Spanish is required, with the ability to communicate effectively in both languages verbally and in writing.

- Strong experience managing maintenance requests and work orders from assignment through completion.
- Proficiency in AppFolio or similar property management software, particularly for managing maintenance requests, work orders, scheduling, and related documentation. AppFolio experience is strongly preferred.
- Strong organizational, time-management, and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage multiple work orders and urgent requests simultaneously.
- Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills, with the ability to independently assess issues and determine appropriate next steps.
