Job description

Property Assistant

Location: Bakersfield, CA (Onsite)
Salary: $41,600 – $45,760 DOE

A well-established property management company serving commercial and residential communities throughout the Central Valley is looking to add a Property Assistant to its growing team. The organization has built a strong reputation for responsive tenant service, well-maintained properties, and long-term client relationships. This position plays an important role in supporting daily property operations, helping ensure tenants, vendors, and ownership groups receive exceptional service.

The Opportunity

This role exists to support property management leadership with the administrative and operational tasks that keep properties running efficiently. The Property Assistant will serve as a key point of contact for tenants and vendors while helping coordinate maintenance requests, documentation, reporting, and office operations. It’s an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys a fast-paced environment, values organization, and wants exposure to multiple aspects of property management.

What You’ll Do

• Coordinate tenant communications, service requests, and follow‑up activities across assigned properties
• Maintain lease files, property records, contracts, and administrative documentation
• Support property managers with vendor scheduling, work order tracking, and project coordination
• Prepare reports, correspondence, and property‑related documentation for ownership and management teams
• Review invoices, assist with billing processes, and help ensure accurate recordkeeping

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of administrative, property management, real estate, or office support experience
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
• Experience using Microsoft Office Suite, including Excel, Word, and Outlook
• Property management software experience such as Yardi, AppFolio, MRI, or similar platforms preferred

Why This Role Stands Out

• Join a stable organization with an established presence in the local property management market
• Gain exposure to both operational and administrative aspects of managing a diverse property portfolio
• Work closely with experienced leadership and decision‑makers within the organization
• Be part of a collaborative team environment that values communication, service, and professionalism

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys interacting with people, solving problems, and keeping processes organized behind the scenes. Successful candidates are detail‑oriented, proactive, and comfortable balancing tenant service responsibilities with administrative support functions.

The company offers an environment where employees are trusted with meaningful responsibilities and encouraged to contribute ideas that improve operations. Whether coordinating vendors, supporting property managers, or helping tenants resolve concerns, the work you do will have a direct impact on the success of the properties and the overall customer experience.
