About the team

The maintenance organization’s mandate is to preserve and repair our homes at every stage with best-in-class efficiency. Our mission is to repair any damaged or non-functional elements of a home as quickly and cost effectively as possible in order to provide affordable housing for our tenants. The R&M ACE team plays a pivotal role in attributing repairs to the most appropriate parties, keeping tenants informed during repairs, and seeing projects through to completion.

You

You are a “hands on” entrepreneurial operator, with an innate ability to understand and maintain priorities. You plan ahead to ensure smooth sailing, but you’re quick to react and correct course when things start to break. You thrive in a challenging and sometimes chaotic environment where decisions need to be made quickly and often.

You have construction knowledge that allows you to be an elite strategist of every work order. You will know when something is an emergency, who is the best to fix it, and what is an accurate cost in order to have the work done.

You’re thrilled at any opportunity to serve tenants with top-shelf customer service. You are not afraid of expansive CRMs. You are empathetic to the issues that our renters may face - and make it your personal mission to ensure they have a clean, safe, and functional home to return to every day.

What you’ll do

Triage tenant repair requests in each of our metros by determining whether or not work is required, if we will service using in-house technicians or a third party vendor, and follow the request all the way to completion. Along the way, you’ll keep the tenants informed on repair progress, timelines, and ETA so they are never in the dark.
