- Minimum 2 years' experience in residential property or facilities
- Proven problem-solving ability in a hands-on role

- Able to work independently and take initiative, while being a reliable team player

- Personable, empathetic, and always willing to go the extra mile
- Solution-focused with a strong sense of accountability and pride in your work
- Flexible and responsive in a dynamic, resident-facing role
