Schedule & Travel

Property Management is definitely not a Monday-through-Friday, “nothing ever happens after 5:00” business — we know better than that! Candidates must be dependable and able to work their scheduled hours consistently. Occasional overtime, after-hours resident events, on-call responsibilities, and travel may be required depending on the needs of the community.

Education & Experience

A high school diploma or GED is required. Candidates must be able to read and write English fluently, perform intermediate mathematical calculations, and comfortably use property management and resident management software.

Affordable housing experience is strongly preferred, and candidates with HUD, Section 8, LIHTC/Tax Credit, recertification, leasing, collections, and compliance experience are especially encouraged to apply.

Compensation is anticipated to range from $22.00–$25.00 per hour for a new employee and will depend on relevant factors including experience, qualifications, knowledge, skills, abilities, property/client requirements, budget guidelines, and other job-related considerations. Eligible employees may also qualify for discretionary and/or performance-based bonuses.

Pratum Companies is committed to a diverse workforce and is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
