Groundskeeper / Porter

Overnight facility cleanliness is one of those operational foundations that residents notice immediately when it slips and almost never consciously appreciate when it's working. For a company like Comstock, whose ParkX brand positions itself around premium parking and mobility experiences, the overnight cleaning crew is doing real brand work between 11 PM and 6 AM while most of the organization sleeps.

This Lead Cleaner position covers Thursday through Monday on the overnight shift at a Reston, VA property. The lead component matters here. You're not just running a checklist; you're taking ownership of the shift, completing required end-of-turn documentation, and ensuring a clean handoff to the next crew. That accountability structure is closer to a shift supervisor function than a standard porter role.

What the Work Actually Looks Like

The core of this role is maintaining common areas, lobbies, restrooms, sidewalks, and public-facing spaces to a standard that holds up to daylight inspection. Pressure washing, window cleaning, and trash collection are regular duties. When events run late or the next day brings a scheduled gathering, you'll support setup and breakdown of those spaces as well. You'll also monitor cleaning supply inventory, keep the supply room organized, and flag any equipment damage or maintenance concerns to management. The shift runs independently, so self-direction is genuinely required, not just a line on a job description.

Physical demands are real. Expect extended time on your feet, lifting up to 50 pounds, working in variable temperatures (outdoors in Northern Virginia winters), and regular exposure to cleaning chemicals. A valid driver's license without major violations is required.

Qualifications Worth Having

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Valid driver's license with a clean record
  • Ability to work Thursday through Monday, 11 PM to 6 AM, including occasional extended hours around events
  • Strong reliability and time management; overnight shifts amplify both when supervision is minimal
  • Comfort working with a diverse range of residents, guests, and property staff in a professional, courteous manner
  • Problem-solving instincts for situations that come up mid-shift without a manager on-site

Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) matching, life insurance, free parking with EV charging, parental leave, and annual professional development funds. Comstock also notes genuine advancement opportunities within its growing portfolio, which matters for anyone thinking about where overnight facilities work can lead.

On that point: lead cleaner roles at mid-rise and mixed-use properties often serve as a practical entry point into facilities coordination or property operations. The documentation habits, inventory tracking, and shift-handoff discipline you build here transfer directly to maintenance tech roles and, eventually, facilities management positions. The overnight schedule is demanding, but the independence and lead-level responsibility compress your learning curve faster than a supervised daytime role where someone else is making the calls.
