01 / The decision

What does this hire really come down to?

You face a common struggle when industrial tenants report roof leaks or damaged dock levelers that halt distribution. You need someone who distinguishes between standard office maintenance and the heavy-duty structural requirements of warehouse space. We help you find managers who look beyond the lobby to inspect rack-supported fire suppression and concrete apron durability. Before you interview, decide if you require a manager who handles daily physical site safety or primarily manages lease administration and vendor invoicing.

Your industrial asset requires specific technical oversight for HVAC systems designed for large-volume warehouse cooling and heating. You must hire someone who understands how to manage large-scale pavement sealing projects and roof membrane replacement without disrupting your tenants' shipping schedules. We ask you to define how much autonomy this person has regarding contractor selection for emergency repairs. We search for candidates who demonstrate a clear methodology for resolving disputes between landlord and tenant maintenance obligations.

Property owners often find that the biggest hurdle is identifying a manager who tracks pro rata NNN reconciliations accurately across multiple bays. You need to know if this person handles complex tenant recovery charges for taxes, insurance, and common area expenses. We ask you to confirm your expectations regarding their role in budget variance reporting. Finding the right fit depends on whether you need a manager who prioritizes site inspections or one focused on financial reporting.

02 / Questions

What do we check before you see anyone?

  1. 01Does the candidate calculate complex pro rata NNN reconciliations correctly when occupancy levels fluctuate significantly during the middle of the fiscal year?
  2. 02Can the candidate describe the specific structural difference between managing standard commercial office roofing and the required membrane for a massive warehouse?
  3. 03Does the applicant provide a detailed plan for managing a large capital project involving significant concrete apron replacement in a busy yard?
  4. 04Can the candidate discuss the exact safety protocols required for industrial loading docks including hydraulic levelers and bumpers during their daily inspections?
  5. 05Does the applicant clearly explain how to monitor utility usage across multiple industrial tenant bays to identify potential leaks or waste issues?
  6. 06Can the candidate detail their specific experience in managing waste disposal contracts and recycling requirements for large industrial distribution and warehouse tenants?

03 / Context

Where do we find people who are not applying?

  • We identify professionals currently working for private industrial REITs or third-party logistics firms who handle multi-site portfolios. These individuals often transition when they seek to move from managing smaller regional assets to larger industrial parks with more complex capital project requirements. They typically operate within groups that manage regional distribution centers for global freight companies. Professionals in this space possess deep knowledge of warehouse load-bearing requirements and net lease structures, making them candidates for your specific site needs.
  • Candidates frequently come from large commercial brokerage firms that manage regional industrial distribution hubs for institutional owners. These professionals may move to your firm to secure more autonomy over capital expenditure decisions or to work closer to their home geography. They understand the nuances of managing high-traffic trucking yards and the regulatory reporting required for industrial waste disposal. We look for individuals who have spent significant time monitoring site safety for warehouse tenants and managing common area maintenance services.

04 / Pitfalls

Which hiring mistakes should you avoid?

  • Owners often hire someone with only office management experience, failing to recognize that office managers lack expertise in heavy-duty loading dock maintenance.
  • Buyers sometimes overlook the candidate's inability to reconcile complex NNN charges, resulting in significant revenue loss during the end-of-year tax season.
  • Many owners fail to ask about capital project management, which leads to hiring a person unable to oversee pavement or roof replacements.

05 / Next steps

Your search in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Review Lease Documents

    Compare the specific NNN provisions for every tenant in your portfolio. Verify the candidate can correctly identify landlord versus tenant maintenance responsibilities for roof systems and asphalt before any reconciliation begins.

  2. 2

    Evaluate Site Conditions

    Inspect loading docks and warehouse floors for signs of heavy equipment damage. Determine if the candidate can develop a prioritized schedule for structural repairs to ensure facility safety and tenant productivity.

  3. 3

    Audit Vendor Contracts

    Assess current agreements for janitorial, parking, and security services against your actual property needs. Determine if existing contracts provide sufficient coverage for industrial scale logistics and your specific high-volume requirements.

06 / Questions

What do owners ask before they hire?

What is the primary difference between office and industrial management?

Industrial management requires focus on warehouse throughput and heavy equipment maintenance like dock levelers. Office management emphasizes internal HVAC comfort and public-facing aesthetics for professional service tenants.

How is the contingency fee calculated for this role?

We perform this search as a permanent contingency placement with no upfront costs. You only pay a fee if you hire for your logistics team, per your signed client recruiting agreement.

Do I need a state real estate license?

State regulations determine the licensing requirements for individuals managing third-party commercial property. You must verify the current license mandated by the state where your industrial site operates.

What technical skills are necessary for industrial facilities?

You must confirm proficiency in the operation of fire pump systems and industrial-grade rack sprinkler layouts. Familiarity with managing asphalt, concrete, and roofing materials is also mandatory for long-term maintenance.

How should I present my NNN experience?

Provide concrete examples of how you audited tenant recovery charges for tax and insurance expenses. Explain your specific methodology for handling partial-year reconciliations when occupancy levels fluctuate significantly.

When do we pay the recruiting fee?

No upfront fee. You pay only if you hire under the standard contingency agreement. The signed agreement sets the terms; read the fee page before authorizing the search.

How long does it take to see a short list?

The scope of the job, candidate availability and your interview decisions affect the search. We explain the market response and agree next steps rather than promise a numeric deadline.

What if our chosen candidate gets a counteroffer?

We ask about the reasons for a move before an introduction. You still need a clear offer and an honest account of the job; an increase in pay alone may not resolve why someone considered leaving.

What are the replacement terms?

We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.

What do you not do?

We do not sell job-board reposting or send an unqualified resume stack. Standard permanent search is not hourly consulting or a retained assignment. Different engagements require agreed terms.
