• Building Upkeep: Ensuring hallways, entryways, and common areas are clean, safe, and free of debris.
• Inspections: Walking the properties to identify potential safety hazards or necessary repairs before they become emergencies.
• Tenant Relations: Communicating clearly and respectfully with a diverse group of residents.

Requirements

• Bilingual (Spanish/English) is MANDATORY: You must be able to speak fluent Spanish to communicate with residents and staff.
• Vehicle Required: You must have a valid driver’s license and your own reliable car/truck to travel between buildings daily (Essex County area).
• Experience: 2-3+ years of maintenance, super, or handyman experience. Experience with Section 8 or older buildings is a plus.
• Tools: Must have your own basic hand tools (drills, wrenches, screwdrivers).
