Do you have experience in US property management and are looking to take your career to the next level? Have you worked in a Maintenance department handling resident work orders? If yes, then keep scrolling!

GC Realty & Development is hiring a Work Order Approval Specialist-a systems-savvy, maintenance-literate operator who owns the approval process from start to finish and keeps both residents and internal teams flowing with fast, accurate, and fair decisions.

The Mission: Turn Chaos into Clarity. Every Time.

In this role, you're not just clicking "approve." You're the bridge between maintenance chaos and customer satisfaction.

You'll work alongside our Resident Services team to:

• Review and approve (or reject) maintenance work orders with accuracy and authority

• Communicate directly with residents on maintenance needs and chargebacks

• Spot red flags, resolve disputes, and escalate issues before they become fires

• Monitor timelines, follow up on delays, and ensure nothing slips through the cracks

• Support internal teams by owning your lane and anticipating what's next

You Are...

Not afraid of messy details. You're calm under pressure and proactive with gaps.

• Fluent in maintenance speak - You know what's urgent, what's fair, and what's missing

• Systems-driven - You use tools to find answers before asking questions

• Self-directed - You don't wait for permission to make the next right call

• Clear and composed - You know how to defuse a tense conversation with confidence

• Detail-focused - You know accuracy is everything when money and expectations are on the line

What You Will Get:

• $5.00 - $7.00 Per Hour (USD) based on experience
• 10 days of Paid Time Off (PTO)
• 7 US holidays that are paid for!
• 1 additional day of PTO to celebrate your birthday!
• Google Reviews - Get paid for each 5 star review you get
• Join our Better Book Club! The more you read, the more you get!
• Opportunities for professional growth and fun team activities.
• Ability to have influence and make an impact right away. We want you to take initiative from the start.

What You Bring

• 6+ months in a maintenance coordination, dispatcher, or remote property management role

• 1+ year in customer-facing or operations support roles

• Experience reviewing scopes of work or maintenance pricing preferred

• Strong English writing and speaking skills (B2/C1 level or higher)
