Daily activities included initiating work orders, coordinating all maintenance, repair & replacements for HVAC systems, plumbing, trash removal, electrical, extermination, carpentry & general contracting, store front signage, doors, locksmith, loss prevention items (CCTV, alarm systems, safes), flooring replacement, telephone lines, etc. This also included the approval and review of all capital expenses required to keep every DOTS store up to standard, like new HVAC roof top units, new flooring, and other large scale expenses at the store level.I'd also ensure that any emergencies were handled as quickly and effectively as possible to provide the safest environment possible for the team members and customers while keeping business needs in mind (break-ins, fires, hurricane preparedness, floods, remediation, etc.). This would all occur in concert with the store teams, and field managers to complete necessary work while minimizing the effect on business.Responibilities of the position also included the review, posting, budgeting, and approval of all invoices for all services at all stores, tracking performance and timeliness of contractors and maintenance providers to ensure that DOTS is getting the best possible work for the best possible price depending on each, unique need and working closely with facility maintenance providers to meet deadlines, control costs, and quality of work.In many cases I worked directly with property managers and landlords of the shopping centers on large scale projects, roof repairs, etc., depending on the responsibilities outlined in the lease agreement.I also assisted with new store startup by scheduling and starting new preventative maintenance services, trash services, and partnered with the store construction team on any warranty work or design improvements to reduce maintenance costs.
