Facilities Superintendent - Dolphin Mall

It’s love. Not work.

Taubman might be a real estate investment trust, but it’s so much more to its talented team. It’s a place where careers start, and last, for those who love retail, thrive on winning and want to push the envelope - daily.

Our connection to our values last longer than a trip through the lobby where they are showcased. We embody them. They are our north star when things are great, when things are crazy and when we need to re-center ourselves in our work.

At TAUBMAN, we believe with every fiber of our being that the right team can achieve anything. We know we are expected to bring it – and we do. So, whether it’s an opportunity in leasing, marketing, accounting, finance or another area that brings you here, if you respond to what we’re saying, we’d love to hear from you….

Just remember at Taubman, its love, not work.
