• Inventory & Asset Management: Oversee tool tracking, equipment maintenance, and shop inventory to ensure field crews are properly equipped.
• Process Improvement: Collaborate with company leadership to streamline work order workflows, reduce turnaround times, and identify cost-saving maintenance solutions.

Qualifications

• Experience: 3+ years of experience in residential property maintenance, facility management, or construction trades, with at least 1–2 years in a lead, supervisory, or dispatching capacity.
• Technical Proficiency: Broad working knowledge of residential plumbing, electrical, HVAC basics, carpentry, and rental turn requirements.
• Communication & Tech Skills: Strong interpersonal skills; comfortable utilizing smartphone apps, property management software (work order portals), and email for real-time reporting and documentation.
• Organizational Ability: Proven ability to manage multi-property priorities, solve logistical bottlenecks, and maintain quality under tight timelines.
• Driver’s License: Valid Wisconsin driver’s license with a clean driving record (required for operating company vehicle).
