Job Description

About the Role

We are seeking a Property Operations & Maintenance Assistant to support a growing real estate business in New York's Capital Region.

This hybrid role focuses primarily on property operations, maintenance, reno and repair, with some property management coordination and administrative support. No two days are exactly the same. One day you may be completing a building repair, working on an apartment renovation, preparing a property for a new tenant, meeting contractors or picking up supplies, while the next you may be coordinating maintenance projects and organizing documents.

The ideal candidate enjoys hands-on work, is highly organized, proactive, reliable, and an excellent communicator. They are resourceful, comfortable working independently, and able to interact confidently and respectfully with tenants, vendors, and contractors. Most importantly, they are willing to jump in wherever needed, solve problems, and aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves.

This position is currently part-time, with the potential to grow into a full-time role.
