Turnover & Renovation Project Coordinator
Uptown Properties
📍 7401 SW Capitol Hwy, Portland, OR 97219
Full-Time | On-Site
Run the projects that keep our properties moving.
Uptown Properties is looking for a Turnover & Renovation Project Coordinator to lead the fast-moving work that happens between residents and during property improvement projects.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a high-energy, fast-paced environment, can juggle multiple projects at once, communicates well with vendors and internal teams, and takes pride in getting properties turned, improved, and ready on time and at a high standard.
If you’re someone who loves managing timelines, solving problems quickly, coordinating people, and making things happen, this is a role where you can make a big impact every single day.
At Uptown, this isn’t just about maintenance coordination—it’s about owning the process, keeping projects moving, and helping deliver a high-quality experience for both owners and residents.
Why This Role Is Exciting
No two days in this role look exactly the same.
One day you may be coordinating painters, flooring installers, cleaners, and maintenance vendors to get a property rent-ready before move-in. Another day, you may be helping manage a renovation scope, resolving timeline conflicts, or ensuring a home is completed to Uptown’s standards.
This is a great fit for someone who enjoys:
