Maintenance Coordinator

Position Overview We are looking for an experienced Maintenance Coordinator to oversee and direct our AI-powered maintenance platform, Mason. Mason handles the heavy lifting of work order processing and resident communication, but it requires a seasoned coordinator in the driver's seat: someone who can evaluate what the AI is doing, catch what it misses, and step in with the right judgment when the situation calls for it. The right person for this role has real maintenance coordination experience — ideally managing 200 or more work orders per month — and is comfortable working alongside an AI agent rather than against it. You do not need to be a software engineer, but you do need to understand how to communicate with and guide an AI system effectively. If you are someone who takes pride in solving problems, thinks independently, and knows maintenance operations well enough to spot when something is off, this role is a strong fit. About Mason Mason is an AI-backed maintenance coordination platform that automates work order intake, resident communication, vendor coordination, and troubleshooting guidance. The coordinator's role is to oversee Mason's actions, verify the quality of its responses and recommendations, and inject corrections or additional instructions as needed. Mason executes — you guide.
