Walk assigned properties regularly to identify cleanliness, safety, maintenance, or curb appeal concerns.
Report any observed issues to upper management in a timely and professional manner.
Identify and communicate concerns such as vandalism, lighting outages, leaks, trip hazards, unauthorized dumping, pest activity, damaged property, overflowing trash, or resident-related concerns.
Document work performed and property observations as required.

Software and Administrative Responsibilities

Use company property management software to document tasks, updates, work orders, inspections, or property-related notes as assigned.
Communicate clearly and professionally with supervisors, property teams, vendors, and residents when needed.
