About The Position

Human Agency owns residential property in St. Louis and is expanding its client footprint in the market. This role is for someone who takes ownership of every property they touch and treats it like their own. This is not a call-center-dispatched maintenance gig. You'll be the first person contacted, the one who catches problems before they become expensive, and the face of Human Agency to tenants and partners. As a small operation in St. Louis, there is room to grow with the company as it expands its portfolio and property relationships. The ideal candidate can diagnose plumbing issues, hang a door, coordinate contractors when necessary, and provide clear updates to ownership.

Comfortable using a smartphone and basic apps for communication, photo documentation, and task management.
Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for travel across the St. Louis area.
Ability to source and vet local contractors and vendors independently.
Track record of reliability and follow-through on tasks.

Nice To Haves

Treats other people's property as if it were their own.

Responsibilities

Perform routine inspections, preventive maintenance, and repairs across St. Louis residential properties to maintain excellent condition year-round.

Serve as a responsive, professional point of contact for maintenance requests, ensuring quick resolution and clear communication with tenants.
Maintain clear records of completed work, ongoing issues, costs, and upcoming maintenance needs for ownership.
Take on expanded responsibilities and help establish scalable systems as Human Agency adds more properties in the St. Louis market.
