Property Management Specialist / Caretaker

About the job

Meaningful work. Own properties. In the heart of Zurich.

Are you skilled in crafts, enjoy taking responsibility, and appreciate personal contact with people? At the same time, do you want to organise your work independently and see the results of your efforts at the end of the day? Then this role could be a great fit for you.

The Dr. Stephan à Porta Foundation has been committed for many years to preserving and creating affordable housing. We own and manage around 1,400 apartments in the city of Zurich. With our surplus, we also support charitable institutions in Zurich and the canton of Graubünden.

Socially, ecologically, and economically sustainable action is not just a claim for us, but part of our daily practice.

To strengthen our team, we are looking for a dedicated individual who will manage our properties with a great deal of personal responsibility and ensure that our tenants feel at home.

Your role – Your properties

You will take responsibility for the properties assigned to you and be the first point of contact on site for our tenants.

A varied working day awaits you:

• You independently manage and inspect the properties assigned to you.
• You are a competent and friendly contact person for our tenants and handle concerns related to the properties.
• You monitor technical systems and carry out minor maintenance, repair, and upkeep work yourself.
• You coordinate external craftsmen and service partners and check the work performed.
• You actively support apartment changes, inspections, and minor repairs.
• You work closely with the office.
• Your area of operation: approx. 80 properties in the city of Zurich

What you can look forward to with us

With us, you are not just taking on a caretaking job. You manage our own properties and can take on long-term responsibility.

We offer you:

• A central office in the city of Zurich
• A meaningful role at a non-profit foundation with a social mission
• A varied and independent working day with a lot of personal responsibility
• A committed and collegial team
• Short decision-making paths and collaboration on equal terms
