  • Project management of major facility capital renovations projects for all City facilities;
  • The role of facilities management for City facilities in terms of maintaining the facility, day-to-day maintenance, preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, coordinating small renovations and repairs;
  • Management of a large number of residential rental properties for short term and long-term rentals;
  • Performing due diligence when any property is purchased that includes a building;
