Job Description

Forbes Group Property Management is seeking an experienced to join a fast-paced, high-performing property management team. This role is perfect for a professional with 2–4 years of experience in maintenance or project coordination within property management or construction who can work independently and as part of a team, exercise sound judgment, and take ownership of outcomes. You’re tech-forward, highly organized, detail-driven, and consistently deliver concierge-level service while managing multiple priorities and time-sensitive issues.

This is not your average 9–5. You’ll start your day in the office reviewing and coordinating work orders, communicating with vendors, residents, and property managers, then spend time in the field inspecting projects, verifying quality, and keeping work on track. You are accountable for execution—from vendor coordination through completion—across multiple residential and commercial properties. This role requires flexibility and on-call availability for emergencies. A clean background and clean driving record are required, and a company vehicle is provided for day-to-day business needs.

We Know You

You exercise sound judgment and approach challenges with professionalism and integrity. You are skilled at navigating difficult conversations and communicating clearly to keep all parties informed. Colleagues recognize your ability to adapt quickly, take ownership, and follow through. You enjoy supporting a team of property managers and take pride in ensuring both office coordination and on-site operations run smoothly across multiple properties.

  • Communicate with residents, property owners, vendors, and internal teams regarding work order status and project updates
  • Track work orders, follow up on repairs, and ensure quality and completion standards are met
  • Conduct on-site inspections for complex or high-value projects (e.g., kitchen or bathroom renovations)
  • Visit properties for annual inspections, unit turns, and quality checks to verify work is completed to standard
  • Maintain accurate documentation and real-time updates in maintenance and property management systems
  • Assist with improving maintenance workflows, vendor coordination processes, and administrative efficiencies

How to Qualify


  • 2–4 years of experience as a Maintenance Coordinator, Administrative Project Coordinator, or similar role
  • Prior experience in property management or construction is required
  • Strong knowledge of maintenance terminology, vendor coordination, work order systems, and scheduling processes
  • High comfort level using technology and software systems daily
  • Proficiency in AppFolio, PropertyWare, Yardi, or similar property management platforms

  • Clean background and clean driving record required
