Position Overview:
Reporting directly to the Operations Manager, the Building Operator role is ideal for someone who is comfortable taking on hands-on repairs but also capable of coordinating with contractors for larger projects. You will be responsible for keeping the property in good condition, carrying out regular inspections, handling fire and life safety checks, and completing pre-move-in and pre-move-out inspections.
Key Responsibilities:
Portfolio Management
Serve as the primary caretaker for your assigned buildings. Oversee day-to-day operations, tenant service requests, vendor coordination, and compliance requirements. Provide weekly updates with early warnings about risks or cost pressures.
Work Orders & Repairs
Receive and complete maintenance work orders. Troubleshoot issues, perform minor repairs within your scope, document the work with photos and notes, and escalate to trades as needed.
Preventative Maintenance
Execute seasonal maintenance programs for roofs, drains, door hardware, lighting, sump pumps, and common areas. Record each task, flag potential failures, and coordinate contractor work when required.
Inspections
Conduct move-in/move-out and routine building inspections with checklists and photo documentation. Verify base conditions, life safety items, and repair lists before closing out tenant files.
Lifecycle & Capital Planning
Review the lifecycle of key systems (rooftop units, boilers, electrical, roofing, cladding, etc.), estimate useful life, and recommend repair or replacement plans with supporting quotes.
Budgeting & Reporting
Develop annual maintenance budgets covering routine services, small capital items, and anticipated repairs. Track costs and provide regular summaries of activity, risks, and vendor performance.
Vendor Coordination
Manage third-party contractors for landscaping, snow, mechanical systems, roofing, and life safety. Verify service completion, collect documentation, and ensure adherence to scope and safety standards.
Emergency Response
Respond to urgent issues such as leaks, power failures, alarms, or weather events. Make safe, communicate promptly, document actions, and coordinate the appropriate contractors.
Housekeeping & Presentation
Maintain curb appeal, tidy common areas and mechanical rooms, and ensure stock of essential supplies and tools.
Documentation
Update maintenance systems daily with photos, notes, and invoices. Use Yardi or equivalent systems for tracking and reporting.
Required Knowledge and Experience:
- Minimum 5+ years in building maintenance or facilities roles for commercial, industrial, or mixed-use properties.
