- HVAC & Plumbing Upkeep: Troubleshoot basic HVAC issues and monitor mechanical contractor performance on major repairs; handle limited-scope plumbing repairs (excluding behind-drywall piping).
- General Trades & Upkeep: Execute non-structural architectural repairs including painting, basic drywall patching, carpentry, and predictive maintenance inspection routines.
Testing, Inspection & Safety Compliance
- Fire & Life Safety Testing: Conduct routine monthly fire pump tests and maintain comprehensive fire alarm and life safety testing logs.

- OSHA & Safety Standards: Maintain OSHA compliance across all work activities, assist with mandated safety training sessions, and support emergency preparedness protocols.
Property Inspections & Operational Oversight

Vendor, Contract & Regulatory Support (As Directed by General Managers)
- Contractor Coordination: Coordinate with third-party service vendors including janitorial, pest control, landscaping, and security providers.
- Contract Oversight: Assist General Managers with vendor contract compliance reviews, service monitoring, and contract renewals for maintenance-related scopes.
- Regulatory & Inspection Escort: Serve as the Trademark representative to provide property access and accompany inspectors (e.g., Fire Marshal, elevator/escalator authorities), reporting all outcomes back to management.
- Quality Assurance: Monitor third-party contractor and specialty trade work to ensure deliverables meet Trademark scope, schedule, and quality standards.
Records, Inventory & Administrative Duties
- Activity Logging: Accurately document all daily maintenance tasks, preventive routines, and repair activities within property tracking systems.
- Tool & Equipment Inventory: Maintain, audit, and secure all maintenance tools and equipment, maintaining a clear distinction between company-owned assets and personal tools.

Tenant, Event & Cross-Department Support
- Tenant & Buildout Coordination: Support tenant buildout rule compliance, respond promptly to work orders, and maintain a high standard of tenant customer service.
