• Coordinate vendor access and service appointments when specialized contractors are required and verify that work has been completed appropriately.
• Follow established safety procedures and immediately address or escalate conditions that could present a safety, building, or operational risk.
• Support occasional urgent facilities or housing needs outside normal business hours.
