Facilities Maintenance & Repair Technician

**At Catalyst Condo Management, we set out to disrupt industry norms, and bring a new approach to the old-school world of Condo Property Management. We’ve flipped the service model on its head, curating a team of specialists who drive and champion their service area, rather than expecting everyone to be an expert of all things at once. And it works!**
Over the past 6 years, Catalyst has grown as a startup, to an established name in Calgary’s Condo Management scene. We also believe that the effective use of technology can bring incredible results and efficiencies to what we do, so we’ve jumped in with both feet to integrate the latest technologies into our workflow.
