• Completes documentation and other paperwork in a timely, accurate, and complete fashion so that service requests can be appropriately documented and tracked.
• Supports cost‑cutting and expense control programs by fixing rather than replacing parts, when possible, not being wasteful with materials and supplies, and practicing the correct use of tools and equipment.
• Assists in maintaining the grounds, common areas, and amenities by picking up trash and debris, pressure‑washing breezeways and pool areas, performing general cleaning, and painting curbs and signage as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated proficiency in OfficeSuite tools.
• Property Management Software experience; experience with RentManager is a huge plus.
