Ideal Experience & Skills:

• Experience implementing preventive maintenance programs.

What Does a Typical Day Look Like?
A Maintenance Coordinator’s day revolves around keeping tenant maintenance needs resolved quickly and vendors accountable. You will:

• Monitor the maintenance queue, logging new requests and prioritizing emergencies.
