Groundskeeper / Porter

Comstock's ParkX team keeps a mixed-use portfolio in Reston looking the way a Class A environment is supposed to look. This exterior porter role covers the Wed-Sun, 3PM-10PM shift, which means you're on property during peak foot traffic, evening events, and the hours when common areas take the most visible abuse. Cleanliness at this hour is a direct input to resident and tenant satisfaction scores, and those scores matter to NOI.

What You'll Actually Do

The core of this role is maintaining exterior and common area cleanliness across assigned sites. That means pressure washing hardscape, cleaning windows, clearing trash, and keeping lobbies, sidewalks, restrooms, and public gathering spaces presentable throughout your shift. When events happen on property, you're part of the setup and breakdown crew. You'll monitor cleaning supply inventory, use chemicals safely and correctly, and keep your janitorial closet organized and hazard-free.

End-of-shift documentation matters here. You're responsible for a clean handoff to the next shift and for flagging any maintenance issues, safety hazards, or equipment damage to management before you leave. This is an active, physical position. Expect to be on your feet for most of your shift, lifting up to 50 pounds, working in variable outdoor conditions, and covering ground quickly when a cleanliness concern comes in.

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Valid driver's license with no major violations
  • Availability for the Wed-Sun, 3PM-10PM schedule, including event coverage
  • Physical ability to stand, lift, kneel, climb stairs, and work outdoors in variable conditions
  • Strong communication skills and a professional demeanor with residents, tenants, and visitors
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision

What You Bring

Reliability is the core qualification here. Comstock's properties run on schedules and checklists, and the team needs someone who shows up in uniform before shift start, follows cleaning procedures accurately, and covers for coworkers when needed. The evening shift interacts with residents and visitors at some of the busiest times of day, so a professional, courteous presence is as important as the physical work.

Porter roles at mixed-use properties like Comstock's Reston sites are good entry points for candidates who want to grow into facilities coordination or operations management. Attention to detail, equipment care, and the habit of documenting and reporting issues are the same fundamentals that show up in senior maintenance and property operations roles. The annual professional development funds the company offers make that trajectory more accessible than it is at most employers in this category.
