POSITION PURPOSE / EXPECTATIONS

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, cost-conscious, and motivated to drive operational ROI by improving internal workflows and supporting scalable systems.

• Provide support with PM calendar tracking and compliance reporting.
• Review PM vendor proposals or combined repair + PM service requests.
• Track assets impacted by frequent reactive issues for lifecycle analysis.
