Background

About James Duck

I am a talented Facilities Operations and Maintenance Facilitator. A professional with over 20 years experience overseeing building administration and equipment maintenance, as well as renovation projects and equipment installations. My property and business management background has provided me with the excellent people and communication skills necessary to succeed in this field. I am able to arrange contracts with all service and maintenance providers, and monitor activities to ensure complete and proper work is performed at all times. I have an extensive background as a Director of Maintenance, as well as an award-winning record of accomplishments in fast-paced environments. Specialties I am adept at negotiating contracts, preparing and submitting bids, managing purchasing and payroll functions, scheduling employees, and acting as liaison to city agencies, inspectors, tenants, and Boards. I am familiar with the financial aspects of management as well, including budgeting, forecasting, and reporting. A team player, I am highly organized and able to handle multiple tasks simultaneously even in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments. When I’m not on the job, I love spending time with family, gardening, golfing, cooking, and indulging in my passion for fine dining.
