Maintenance Vendor Coordinator - Work From Home

Join a Team That Gets Stuff Done!

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.

Are you:

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?

We're Hiring a Maintenance Coordinator

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.

Salary: $7.00 - $9.00 USD per hour

Monthly Bonus: 12% opportunity for performance based bonus

Book Club: Up to $500 per year for reading approved books

Referral Program: $1,000 bonus for referring a candidate who gets hired

Professional Development: A budget allocated to support team members who want to grow

Paid Time Off: 10 days of accrued PTO per year

Paid Birthday: Take your birthday or another day that month off, on us

Paid Holidays: 7 paid holidays per year

Culture of ownership: We don't babysit. We collaborate, solve problems, and deliver results

What You'll Do

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

What You Bring to the Table

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

You'll Thrive Here If You:

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
