Floating Facility Manager

JOIN OUR TEAM!

We invite you to apply to the Floating Facility Manager position(s) in the South Valley area (Bakersfield, Shafter).

OVERVIEW

The Floating Facility Manager performs the full range of Facility Manager duties on an as-needed basis at multiple Derrel's Mini Storage locations. Unlike a site-assigned Facility Manager, this position is not assigned to a single facility; instead, the Floating Facility Manager is placed at facilities as needed to cover vacancies, vacations, leaves of absence, and periods of increased business need. This position may be scheduled on a full-time or part-time basis and requires a high degree of flexibility, adaptability, and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision while quickly becoming productive at an unfamiliar location. Work schedules and assigned locations are determined by business needs and are subject to change with reasonable notice. Floating Facility Managers are eligible for placement to full-time or part-time manager positions as they become available.

Enforce company policies, rental agreement terms, and facility rules; resolve customer concerns and disputes professionally, with appropriate documentation and escalation.
