Order Team member

CYM Living LLC - Where caring meets innovation. We are a national real estate firm with corporate headquarters in Chicago, IL, and just outside of New York City. Our mission is to provide our residents with an exceptional living experience, nurture a culture of community, and empower growth from within. As a vertically integrated firm, we lead operations by taking a hands-on approach to real estate investment and property management.

We accomplish our mission by incorporating data and technology with hyperlocal customer service to all units.

We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Work Order Team Member to support the cleanliness, safety, and overall appearance of our residential properties. This role plays a critical part in maintaining a safe, well-maintained, and welcoming environment for our residents.

This is a hands-on position responsible for completing the specialized custodial and light maintenance work that goes beyond standard building upkeep - power washing, trash-outs, carpet shampooing, appliance moves, touch-up painting, seasonal groundskeeping, and snow removal. Rather than servicing a single property, the Work Order Team Member works from a daily assignment of work orders and moves between buildings throughout the day based on need.

Because the role involves transporting large items - furniture, appliances, debris from trash-outs, and cleaning equipment - a personal pickup truck is required.

This position requires travel between multiple properties throughout the day and participation in an on-call rotation to address after-hours emergencies. We are looking for someone who shows up consistently, works with urgency, works independently, and takes pride in maintaining high standards across every property they service.
