ABOUT BIRDWATCH PBC:

Birdwatch exists to simplify the lives of modern homeowners. We put people at the center of all we do – our clients, our staff, and our communities. It's a recipe for success. Our one-of-a-kind service takes the hassle out of homeownership. We coordinate preventive maintenance, handle repairs, and assist owners in making improvements to their homes.  Birdwatch builds on the 14-year track record of the well-known and loved property management company Flock DC.  We are committed to taking exceptional care of our clients, their properties, our community, and, most importantly, our team members.

Our model is one of accountability and trust. We work to earn that every day. In providing a reliable service built by exceptionally talented, fairly compensated staff, we believe our clients are much better off in the long run.

THE OPPORTUNITY:

Our membership is growing fast, and we need to add more of these team members for episodic, part-time work in the DMV area. Schedules are flexible, and career opportunities are available. 

We are fanatical about customer service and building a terrific place to work. We’re eager to meet highly talented candidates who want to make a difference in our members’ lives, who want to be valued in doing valuable work, and who want to be part of expanding our company culture. Our team is our greatest resource and we do everything we can to take great care of them, the same way we do our members’ homes.  

Work Hours: Including travel time, any accepted Home Evaluation visit will take up 3-4 hours of time in prep, data collection, and submission. Appointments would be scheduled generally in normal business hours, Monday to Friday 8:30 - 5:30 (unless you had other preferred times that we make available to members). Aside from some light visit prep work on a computer that you can do anywhere, the work is in the field at residential homes.

We value curiosity, professionalism, and genuine connection, and we make sure our people feel supported every step of the way. At Birdwatch, your skills are respected, your voice is heard, and your impact is visible—not only in the homes you evaluate, but in the lives you help improve.
