• Oversee inventory management, ordering, and distribution of maintenance supplies and materials.
• Communicate with property management regarding ongoing projects, maintenance needs, and tenant concerns.
• Provide leadership, guidance, and training to maintenance staff to support their success and professional development.
• Perform hands-on maintenance work (carpentry, plastering, painting, flooring) as needed to support the crew.
• Provide support for emergency maintenance requests and after-hours on-call coverage when required.
