This is an independent, hands-on role for someone who is proactive, dependable, and comfortable managing multiple properties, vendors, and maintenance needs.

• Ensure all properties remain clean, safe, secure, and compliant with applicable local regulations and company standards
• Coordinate repairs, maintenance projects, and property improvements with outside contractors and service providers
• Manage vendor scheduling, service quality, and follow-up to ensure work is completed properly and on time
• Oversee exterior property needs, including parking lots, lighting, grounds, fencing, gates, signage, and general upkeep
• Respond to urgent facilities or maintenance issues as they arise
• Manage access control, keys, security systems, and related building protocols
• Support internal teams by ensuring workspaces and shared areas are properly maintained and operational
• Track facilities-related spending and assist with budgeting for repairs, services, and property needs
• Serve as the main point of contact for all facilities and maintenance matters across the Houston properties

 

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in facilities management, property management, building operations, maintenance management, or a related field
• Experience managing vendors, contractors, and service providers
• Working knowledge of general building systems, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, security, and basic maintenance
• Ability to manage multiple properties or locations simultaneously
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize competing needs
• Reliable, proactive, and able to work independently with minimal day-to-day oversight
• Strong communication skills and the ability to coordinate with internal teams and external vendors
• Comfortable being hands-on and addressing issues directly when needed
• Valid driver’s license required, with the ability to travel between Houston-area properties

 

What We’re Looking For
We are looking for someone who takes ownership, follows through, and keeps facilities running smoothly without needing constant direction. The ideal candidate is practical, dependable, responsive, and able to spot issues before they become larger problems.
