Property & Tenant Technology Coordination

Network & Infrastructure Support

• Assist with managing the network hardware (routers, switches, hubs, UPSs) that supports CCTV, access control, radio, video management, turnstile, and elevator interface systems.
• Support voice/data cable infrastructure for building and security systems.
• Partner with the broader IT team on network connectivity and asset management for building-technology equipment.

General

• Provide executive-level customer support, including senior management, across multiple offices as building-technology issues arise.
• Assume ownership of related incidents, whether resolving directly or by consulting with, monitoring, and following up with colleagues and/or outside vendors.
• Provide on-site coverage during normal business hours and on-call support as needed, including before/after normal working hours.
• Maintain asset inventory for building and security system components.
• Additional duties as assigned.

Qualifications

Key Qualifications:

• Experience in building and security systems management for a Class A retail, office, and/or mixed-use asset.

• Ability to perform written assignments, including preparation of reports, proofreading, and editing.
• Highly organized and goal-oriented; able to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
