Maintenance Professional

Job Description

We are on a mission to become the leading international force in residential property management. What we do matters to billions of people in their everyday lives.

Residential real estate is the world's largest asset class, and for most families, buying a home is the single biggest financial decision they will ever make. For too long, residential property management has fallen short of homeowners' and residents' expectations, and the industry is ready for change. Odevo was formed to make that change happen.

In just six years, Odevo has grown more than 70-fold, establishing us as the leading international player. We are more than 12,000 people across the US, the UK, the Nordics, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, and Italy building Odevo. Together, we aspire to break new ground through innovation and cultivate a workplace where we help each other succeed, where ideas matter more than titles, and where kindness is a strength.

By combining the power of people and technology, we set a new standard for how homes are managed. Our technology-enabled services simplify living for residents and create a better experience for property owners and boards.

UpKept Services is the maintenance and construction division of the Odevo US family of companies. We deliver professional, responsive maintenance solutions to residential community associations across the country. Operating in Charlotte, Tampa, and expanding into new markets, UpKept Services combines skilled field professionals with technology-enabled workflows to raise the standard for HOA maintenance. We are a team that takes pride in our work, supports one another, and is committed to making communities better places to live.
