Foreside Real Estate Management is seeking a reliable, skilled maintenance subcontractor to support our property maintenance, remodeling, and turnover projects on an as-needed, project basis. This is a subcontractor role covering a broad range of maintenance and remodeling trades — including carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and general repair work — across our residential and light commercial properties. If you take pride in your craftsmanship, run a professional operation, and want steady work from a company that respects your time and your business, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a subcontractor position — you'll bid or quote on assigned projects, work independently, carry your own insurance, and use your own tools and equipment. This is not a W-2 employee role.

Scope of Work

• Remodeling projects including kitchen, bathroom, and unit renovations, from small updates to full turnkey remodels

• Carpentry work including framing, trim, cabinetry, partitions, doors, and general wood repairs

• Plumbing repairs and installations, including fixtures, supply lines, drain lines, and minor troubleshooting

• Apartment unit turnover work (repairs to cabinets, doors, trim, flooring transitions, fixtures, etc.)

• Inspecting and repairing damaged windows, doors, walls, and floors

• Occasional related trades work as needed on a per-project basis: drywall repair, minor flooring, painting

• Reviewing scopes of work and providing accurate estimates/quotes per project

• Sourcing and supplying your own materials when applicable, or working from provided materials per project agreement

• Completing assigned projects on schedule and to code

• Documenting completed work (photos, notes) for property records

• Communicating professionally and directly with property managers and, when needed, tenants

• Minimum 2+ years of professional experience in maintenance, remodeling, carpentry, plumbing, or electrical work

• Working knowledge across multiple trades (carpentry, plumbing, electrical) strongly preferred; specialists with strong general maintenance skills also welcome

• Active business license and liability insurance (certificate of insurance required)

• Appropriate trade licensure for plumbing and electrical work where required by state or local code

• Ability to provide a valid W-9 and proof of insurance before work begins

• Own reliable transportation, tools, and equipment

• Familiarity with local building codes and safety standards

• Ability to read blueprints or technical drawings preferred

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

• Strong communication and time-management skills; able to give reliable timelines and honor quoted pricing

• Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision

• References or a portfolio of past maintenance, remodeling, or trade work preferred
