At GC Realty & Development, we're not your average property management company-and we're not looking for average team members either. If you're the kind of person who takes ownership, communicates clearly, and thrives in a fast-paced environment, keep reading.
Calm and collected under pressure, even when vendors miss deadlines or tenants call twice in an hour?
A detail-obsessed organizer who doesn't let anything slip through the cracks?
A people person who can negotiate pricing with vendors and de-escalate a frustrated resident call-all before lunch?
At GC Realty & Development, we pride ourselves on delivering The GC Realty Experience™-which means every work order gets handled accurately, efficiently, and with a high standard of service. The Maintenance Coordinator is the engine behind that experience. You'll assign work orders, communicate with vendors and residents, and keep things moving behind the scenes.
This is a remote position (for international team members), but don't mistake that for easy-we move fast, hold each other accountable, and expect top-tier performance.
Assign and schedule work orders to the right vendors based on skill, urgency, and location
Be the communication hub between vendors, tenants, and the internal property management team
Negotiate fair, transparent pricing on repairs, breaking down labor and material when needed
Monitor work order performance and ensure we're meeting KPIs and SLAs
Review vendor invoices and prepare them for billing-accurately and on time
Maintain strong relationships with vendors so you can rely on them when challenges arise
Make judgment calls on repair quality based on photos and reports-know when it's good enough and when to push back
2+ years of experience managing vendors, general contractors, or subcontractors
Solid working knowledge of residential repairs-HVAC, plumbing, electrical, handyman basics
Familiarity with market repair pricing in the Chicago area is a plus
High attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple tasks without dropping the ball
Strong written and verbal English communication
A track record of owning outcomes and getting results without needing to be micromanaged
Effective time management skills and the ability to stay on task in a dynamic environment
See a work order and immediately think, "What's the fastest path to resolution?"
Can build genuine relationships with vendors while still holding them accountable
Love simplifying processes and finding better ways to work
Aren't afraid to push back professionally when things aren't done right
Never say "that's not my job"-you own the result, start to finish
This isn't just another coordinator role-it's your chance to join a team that's redefining what responsive property management looks like. If you're ready to own your outcomes, drive results, and bring structure to the chaos, we want to hear from you.
