Project Manager, Turn (seasonal)
About Campus Make Ready
Campus Make Ready specializes in student housing turn services, providing expert painting, cleaning, and make-ready work during the fast-paced turn season. Our focus on organization, communication, and technology ensures units are completed on time and within budget—helping property managers stay stress-free and fully prepared for student move-ins.
​
About the Role
The Project Coordinator is a seasonal, on-site role responsible for overseeing vendor crews and tracking unit progress during the student housing turnover process. Turns typically take place over a 10–21 day window in late summer, when hundreds of students move out and new residents move in shortly after.
Training begins 1–2 weeks before move-out day and is led by your Regional Project Manager along with the on-site property team. You’ll be trained on the specific turn process for your assigned community, introduced to tools like Entrata and Google Sheets, and prepared for contractor coordination and on-the-ground execution.
