What You Bring to the Table

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is self-motivated, reliable, and gets things done
• Works well independently and as part of a team
• Has strong attention to detail (you catch the small stuff before it becomes big stuff)

Your Day-to-Day (aka Keeping the Community Alive)

• Perform pre-move-out and final inspections
• Conduct routine property inspections to identify maintenance needs early

Service & Operations

• Deliver top-tier customer service with a 24–48 hour turnaround on work orders
• Maintain accurate records of service requests, inspections, and performance
• Participate in the after‑hours on‑call rotation (because leaks don’t follow a schedule)

Community Upkeep

• Keep the grounds clean, safe, and looking great daily
• Assist with housekeeping tasks when needed
• Help with snow removal and overall exterior safety
• Maintain pool standards (where applicable)
• Ensure emergency lighting, safety systems, and detectors are functioning properly
