Job Description
Hiring.zycto is seeking a dedicated and proactive Live On-Site Building Superintendent to oversee the daily operations, maintenance, and resident satisfaction of our valued property in Dorset Park, Toronto. This isn’t just a job; it’s an opportunity to become the cornerstone of a vibrant community, ensuring a safe, clean, and well-maintained environment for all residents. As a Live On-Site Superintendent, you will be the primary point of contact for tenants, embodying our commitment to exceptional service and responsive management. Your expertise will directly contribute to the quality of life for everyone residing in the building, making their home a place of comfort and security.
Your day-to-day will involve a diverse range of tasks, from conducting routine inspections and performing minor repairs across various trades – including plumbing, electrical, and carpentry – to coordinating seamlessly with external contractors for more complex maintenance issues. You will play a critical role in preventative maintenance, proactively identifying potential problems before they escalate, and implementing cost-effective solutions efficiently. Building strong, positive relationships with residents is paramount, requiring you to address their concerns with professionalism and empathy, and actively foster a sense of community within the building. Your ability to communicate clearly and effectively, whether explaining a repair schedule or resolving a minor dispute, will be key to your success.
Beyond the technical aspects, this role requires a natural leader and problem-solver who can think on their feet. You’ll be responsible for upholding all building policies and procedures, ensuring strict compliance with health and safety regulations, and managing emergency situations with calm and competence, often outside of regular business hours. You will maintain meticulous records of maintenance requests, repairs performed, contractor schedules, and tenant communications, contributing to the overall efficiency and transparency of property management operations. This position offers the unique benefit of on-site living, providing immediate responsiveness to building needs and integrating you fully into the community you serve. If you are passionate about property management, possess a strong work ethic, a keen eye for detail, and are eager to create an outstanding living experience for residents, we invite you to apply and become an integral part of the Hiring.zycto family.
