Supporting seasonal property needs, including snow and ice removal
Participating in a rotating on-call schedule for true maintenance emergencies
Communicating respectfully with residents, coworkers, vendors, and property leaders

Can independently complete common repairs and know when additional assistance is needed
Have experience with plumbing repairs, electrical troubleshooting, appliances, unit turns, painting, or carpentry
