Bins & Bins jobs in Ottawa, ON

Be the Person Our Residents Count On

This is not an ordinary apartment building — and this is not an ordinary maintenance job. Our residents have chosen a premium rental lifestyle, complete with a pool and terrace, beautifully landscaped grounds, and finishes worthy of a boutique hotel. Behind that experience is one person who makes it all run: our Building Operator/Superintendent.

We're looking for a hands-on problem solver who takes genuine pride in a building that looks, feels, and functions flawlessly — someone who can patch and paint a suite in the morning, troubleshoot an HVAC call in the afternoon, and greet a resident by name in between. If you're the type who notices the small things before anyone else does, we want to meet yo

Responsibilities

• Building Systems & Preventive Maintenance
• Monitor and maintain the operational efficiency of building systems, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, life safety, and security
• Conduct routine inspections of equipment and systems to catch maintenance needs early and keep everything running properly
• Monitor and adjust building automation systems to optimize energy usage and resident comfort
• Coordinate and execute a preventive maintenance program that minimizes breakdowns and extends equipment life

Resident Experience & Service

• Serve as a key point of contact for resident inquiries, concerns, and service requests, as assigned by the Property Manager and/or VP, Property Management
• Respond promptly and professionally to resident issues — five-star service is the standard, not the exception
• Coordinate and schedule service calls and repairs with internal staff and external vendors, and keep residents informed of maintenance activities and any disruptions

Suite Turnovers & In-Suite Repairs

• Prepare vacant suites for new residents: patching, painting, caulking, basic carpentry, cleaning, and general touch-ups to a move-in-ready, luxury standard
• Complete turnover inspections and ensure suites are ready by scheduled occupancy dates
• Remove garbage, debris, and abandoned belongings from vacated units

Grounds, Amenities & Curb Appeal

• Maintain the cleanliness and appearance of the building exterior, entrances, sidewalks, parking areas, and landscaped spaces
• Care for the pool deck, furniture, terrace, and BBQ areas — including vacuuming the pool and cleaning skimmer baskets — so amenities always look their best
• Shovel snow and apply salt in winter to keep access safe; assist with seasonal maintenance and property upkeep
• Manage waste operations: rotate garbage, recycling, and organics bins to municipal schedules, keep garbage rooms clean and organized, and remove bulk waste appropriately

Safety, Compliance & Records

• Ensure compliance with all relevant safety regulations and standards, including fire safety, building codes, WHMIS, and emergency procedures
• Conduct regular inspections to identify hazards and implement corrective measures promptly
• Maintain accurate records of inspections, maintenance activities, expenditures, invoices, and equipment performance for compliance reporting

Emergency Response

• Implement emergency response protocols, including evacuation procedures, emergency contacts, and disaster recovery plans
• Coordinate with local authorities such as fire departments during emergencies, and provide timely communication and support to residents to ensure their safety and well-being

Experience

• A natural multitasker. You handle competing priorities without dropping the ball — a resident request, a vendor on site, and a turnover deadline can all land on the same day, and you keep them all moving
• Customer-service driven. You're patient, professional, and personable. Residents trust you, and you treat every interaction as a chance to make their day better
• A resourceful problem solver. You diagnose issues independently, know when to fix it yourself and when to call in a specialist, and you don't wait to be told something needs attention
• Skilled with your hands. Comfortable with basic carpentry, drywall repair, patching, painting, caulking, and general repairs — you take pride in clean, finished work
• Organized and accountable. You keep records current, follow through on commitments, and sweat the details that define a luxury property

What You Bring

• 2+ years of experience in building operations, maintenance, or a related trade (residential or hospitality experience an asset)
