About the Role
Are you someone who loves variety, thrives on solving problems, and takes pride in keeping things running smoothly?

No two days are the same in this role. You'll be out in the field supporting our Property Management team — conducting property evaluations, documenting conditions, knocking out small repairs, and keeping properties in top shape between tenants.

- Spackle, caulk, and touch-up paint
- Smoke detector and CO detector installation
- Power washing exteriors, driveways, and common areas
- Light yardwork and exterior upkeep
- Make repair recommendations and document items beyond your scope for vendor follow-up
Work Order Support
- Assist the PM team with work order management and field coordination
- Respond to daily direction and task assignments from the Property Management team
- Communicate status updates in a timely and professional manner
What We're Looking For
- A natural problem-solver who enjoys working with their hands and figuring things out

- Strong written and verbal communication — you'll interact with tenants, owners, and vendors
- Tech-savvy and comfortable using smartphones, apps, and digital tools on the go
- Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple tasks across multiple properties
- Reliable, professional, and positive — someone who shows up ready to learn and grow
- Coachable mindset and a team-first attitude
- Valid driver's license
Nice to Have
- Prior experience in property management, real estate, or residential maintenance
- Familiarity with property management software (AppFolio)
- Basic knowledge of landlord-tenant expectations in NC
