Job Overview

Are you looking to break into real estate or property management but don't have experience yet? This is a great place to start.

We're hiring a dependable and motivated Field Operations Assistant to support our growing property management operations in the Birmingham area. This is an entry-level, contract-to-hire position designed for someone who is eager to learn and ready to gain hands-on experience in residential real estate.

Because we don't have a local office in Birmingham, this role is ideal for a self-starter who can work independently, manage their own schedule, and stay organized in the field.

You'll be the eyes and ears on the ground, communicating remotely with our team in Dallas and Houston while handling property inspections, rental readiness checks, basic field support, and light administrative tasks.

No prior real estate experience is required — we will train the right person.

This role begins as a contracted position with a 90–180 day probationary period. Candidates who demonstrate a strong work ethic, reliability, and initiative may be offered a full-time position.

Salary Range: $13.00 - $15.00 per hour
