Job description

Hands-on, client-facing role supporting safety, structure, and daily operations across RECO's residences and Towers HQ.

We’re glad you’re considering RECO to help further your career and skillset. Before you apply, we want to make sure we are aligned with who you are, and that this will be a relationship that is a good fit for both of us.

At RECO, we are looking for a very specific type of individual that stands out amongst their friends and fellow employees. If you think this might be you, please continue reading.

• You always have a smile on your face. Your friends would describe you as the glass half full type because you operate from a place of kindness and positive thinking, always. You might even be the person who laughs while stuck in traffic or dances in the rain.
• You know there are two sides to every coin and everyone’s shoes have traveled a different path. Because of this you have learned the true meaning of patience and understanding. In your mind, there is no place for judgement, only compassion for where others have been, and the desire to help get them where they are going.
• You have a strong moral compass and you follow it. Your previous employers know who you are at your heart and so do you! You stand for what you believe and know is right.
• You’re the first one to offer a helping hand. Yes, even when a friend asks for help with a big move into a new apartment. People’s schedules are chaotic these days, but your friends and your employers know when it comes down to needing someone, the first person they can depend on, is you.
• You love making people feel good. You make sure every interaction you have leaves the person you met better, not worse. You probably have a slew of friends that have become family.
• Your health and well-being are something you care for in your daily routine, and activities. You enjoy finding new ways to improve yourself, and mood or mind-altering substances are not supportive in that journey for you personally.
• You might have a past, we all do, however, the only significant impact it has on you today is that it helped build you into the amazing person you are in your present. Your friends, family and former employers know that you are honest about your actions back then and today.
• You know the definition of integrity without having to check the dictionary because you live by it.
• You lead by example. You know the best way to treat people is how you would like to be treated. You give to your team what you would like from your team. Your previous employers might describe you as a hard worker, a team player, and everyone would be thrilled to work beside you.

At RECO,

• We value our employees and partners like they are our family. We treat every employee how we would like to be treated and live by this golden rule in our interactions with every client and member of our team.
• We are methodical, detail-oriented, and particular. We never settle for less. At RECO, we are raising the standard of treatment in this field. That starts with ourselves, our work, and how we handle each task no matter how small.
• We are committed to fostering a unique, transparent and fun work environment. We work hard at being the best, but we also have a ton of fun doing it. The way we balance that is by being our honest and genuine selves every day. We take some serious pride in the work we do here as individuals and as a team because we know every action creates the workplace we love and enjoy.
• We are young, creative, and experienced. When we say young, we mean young at heart. We have a youthful optimism for the future and believe the possibilities are limitless for you, for the RECO team, and for our clients. Using our shared and individual experience we are constantly innovating, imagining and improving what our work in this field looks like, feels like, and the outcomes it provides.

If you think we might be a good match, you can find the description of your role at RECO below.
