THE BACKGROUND THAT FITS

• Experience coordinating, recruiting, scheduling, or managing a high-volume hourly, temporary, seasonal, contractor, or field workforce.

• Backgrounds in commercial staffing, high-volume recruiting, painting or building-material operations, equipment rental, hospitality, property services, or other blue-collar service environments can translate well.

• Highly resourceful and comfortable finding people quickly when crews cancel, availability changes, or unexpected staffing needs arise.

• Comfortable managing contractors directly, including difficult conversations around performance, quality, scheduling, pay, and expectations.

• Spanish fluency is a significant plus, particularly for positions supporting cleaning operations.

• Comfortable spending time both in the office and in the field checking active jobs and interacting directly with contractors.

• Competitive, accountable, and motivated by an environment where advancement is based on performance rather than tenure.

• Painting or cleaning expertise is not required; the organization can teach the technical side of the services, while resourcefulness and the ability to manage crews are the bigger priorities.
