Drive Efficiency: Manage and maintain our corporate vans and inventory stock, ensuring supplies and tools are always available and organized Each day begins at the office, where you pick up your equipped "Pit Stop Van" before heading out into the city. Your tasks are clearly scheduled, ensuring efficiency as you complete 3-4 full unit turns. Upon arriving at each unit, you conduct a detailed inspection, addressing any maintenance needs, assisting with some housekeeping alongside the cleaning team, and preparing the space for the next guest. Whether troubleshooting appliances, replacing keys, or refreshing paint, every step ensures the unit meets high-quality standards. Once the first unit is ready, you drive to the next property and repeat the process, adapting to each location's unique needs. Throughout the day, you coordinate logistics, problem-solve on-site challenges, and maintain a smooth workflow.
