Role Overview: The Maintenance Coordinator is the command center for all work orders: intake, triage, scheduling, vendor coordination, tenant communications, and close-out. You'll prioritize urgent issues, keep preventive maintenance on cadence, and drive down cycle times. This is a performance role with clear SLAs, daily accountability rhythms, and growth into senior coordination/ops leadership.

Core Responsibilities:

• Work Order Intake & Triage
  • Receive requests via portal/phone/email; log with complete scope, photos, access info, and priority tag.
  • Classify by priority (P0–P3) and building/owner rules; verify warranty/recall/recurring issues.
  • Pre-diagnose to reduce truck rolls (simple resets, filter sizes, breaker checks, shutoff guidance).
• Scheduling & Dispatch
  • Assign to the right vendor/tech based on trade, SLA, geography, availability, and cost.
  • Build and update daily/weekly schedules; confirm tenant access, lockbox codes, pet/alarms, parking.
  • Create and track Not-to-Exceed (NTE) amounts; obtain approvals when required.
• Vendor Management
  • Coordinate licensed vendors (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliance, roofing, etc.).
  • Ensure COI/W-9/licenses are current; validate arrival/completion, photo proof, and written diagnosis.
  • Request quotes for >NTE jobs; compare scope/price; route to approval.
• Tenant & Owner Communication
  • Provide clear ETAs, prep steps (water shutoff, clearing access), and progress updates.
  • Set expectations for parts lead times and follow-ups; confirm satisfaction at completion.
  • Escalate sensitively when work impacts health/safety or habitability.
• Preventive Maintenance (PM)
  • Maintain seasonal PM calendars (boilers/furnaces, gutters, dryer vents, smoke/CO checks, filter changes).
  • Batch/schedule PMs to minimize tenant disruption and travel time; track completion.
• Invoicing & Close-Out
  • Ensure work orders have diagnosis, materials, labor, before/after photos, and time stamps.
  • Match invoices to WOs, verify against NTE, route exceptions, and submit to accounting the same day.
• Emergencies & After-Hours Coordination
  • Follow the P0/P1 emergency SOP (gas/water/electrical hazards, no-heat, lockouts).
  • Coordinate on-call vendors, city services, and temporary mitigation.
• Reporting & Quality
  • Produce daily/weekly reports on SLA adherence, WIP aging, cost variance, and vendor performance.
  • Flag repeat issues, recommend root-cause fixes (access hardware, part stocking, vendor changes).
