This is a performance role with clear SLAs, daily accountability rhythms, and growth into senior coordination/ops leadership.

- Ensure COI/W-9/licenses are current; validate arrival/completion, photo proof, and written diagnosis.
- Request quotes for >NTE jobs; compare scope/price; route to approval.
- Tenant & Owner Communication
- Provide clear ETAs, prep steps (water shutoff, clearing access), and progress updates.
- Set expectations for parts lead times and follow-ups; confirm satisfaction at completion.
- Escalate sensitively when work impacts health/safety or habitability.
- Preventive Maintenance (PM)
- Maintain seasonal PM calendars (boilers/furnaces, gutters, dryer vents, smoke/CO checks, filter changes).
- Batch/schedule PMs to minimize tenant disruption and travel time; track completion.
- Invoicing & Close-Out
- Ensure work orders have diagnosis, materials, labor, before/after photos, and time stamps.
- Match invoices to WOs, verify against NTE, route exceptions, and submit to accounting the same day.
- Emergencies & After-Hours Coordination
- Follow the P0/P1 emergency SOP (gas/water/electrical hazards, no-heat, lockouts).
- Coordinate on-call vendors, city services, and temporary mitigation.
- Reporting & Quality
- Produce daily/weekly reports on SLA adherence, WIP aging, cost variance, and vendor performance.
- Flag repeat issues, recommend root-cause fixes (access hardware, part stocking, vendor changes).
