Arlington, Virginia, United States
Groundskeeper / Porter

Comstock's ParkX division keeps a portfolio of office properties running smoothly across the Arlington area, and the Day Porter role sits right at the center of that daily operation. This is a Monday through Friday position, 12PM to 9PM, so you'll be present through the full afternoon and evening cycle of tenant activity, including the wind-down hours when thorough cleaning and restocking actually gets done properly.

What You'll Actually Do

Your day covers the full range of commercial janitorial work: floors, restrooms, kitchens, meeting rooms, and common areas across an office environment. You'll empty trash and recycling, monitor supply levels, maintain your janitorial closet in organized and hazard-free condition, and complete end-of-shift documentation before handing off to the next shift. Beyond the cleaning checklist, you're also a visible presence for tenants and visitors. ParkX positions its porters as part of the property-facing team, so greeting people professionally and responding to cleanliness concerns quickly is genuinely part of the job, not an afterthought.

You'll report directly to a Senior Operations Manager and work within established schedules and checklists. When equipment needs attention or a safety issue comes up, you document it and flag it to management rather than letting it slide. Flexibility matters here: the role includes availability for after-hours and weekend coverage during events or peak periods.

What You Bring

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Valid driver's license with a clean record
  • Comfort working independently with minimal supervision once trained
  • Physical ability to stand for extended periods, lift up to 50 pounds, and work in variable temperature and chemical exposure conditions
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to prioritize tasks when multiple things need attention at once
  • A professional, approachable manner with tenants, guests, and coworkers
  • Willingness to cover for colleagues and flex into weekend or event shifts when needed

Context Worth Knowing

Arlington's office market has seen significant flux over the past few years, with mixed-use and transit-oriented properties holding up better than traditional suburban office stock. Comstock's ParkX properties tend to sit in that better-positioned category, which means consistent occupancy and tenant expectations that run high. A porter who treats tenant-facing interactions with the same care as the cleaning work itself will stand out here. The 12PM to 9PM shift is a real advantage for candidates who prefer afternoon hours, and the free parking and EV charging benefit is genuinely useful given the cost of commuting in Northern Virginia.
