Janitor

What You'll Actually Do

Dexter Street Commons in Pawtucket is a residential property that depends on consistent, daily care to stay clean, safe, and presentable for the people who live there. As the on-site janitor, you'll work a Monday through Friday schedule (8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) covering the full range of common area upkeep: hallways, stairwells, entrances, laundry rooms, elevators, and grounds. That means sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, dusting, and washing surfaces on a regular cycle, plus picking up trash and keeping the exterior tidy throughout the day.

Beyond the routine cleaning work, you'll replace light bulbs and assist with minor maintenance tasks, coordinate with outside contractors and suppliers when they're on site, and pitch in during situations that fall outside the normal day, including deliveries, furniture moves, emergency response, and snow removal. This is a hands-on, physical role where no two days look exactly the same.

What You Bring

• A high school diploma or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience
• Working knowledge of cleaning equipment, chemicals, and safe handling practices
• The ability to follow detailed instructions and communicate clearly in English
• Dependability and a safety-first mindset
• Willingness to pass a background check and drug screening

The Role in Context

John M. Corcoran and Company has been managing residential communities across New England since 1951. The company's portfolio spans the region, and Dexter Street Commons reflects their focus on well-maintained, community-oriented housing. The janitor role sits within the property's maintenance team, which means your work directly shapes the first impression residents and visitors get every day. Clean common areas, clear grounds, and a well-kept building signal to residents that management is paying attention. That consistency matters more than most people realize.

Pawtucket's residential rental market has been tightening steadily, and properties that keep up their physical standards tend to hold occupancy and resident satisfaction more reliably than those that don't. In that context, the janitor is a real part of what keeps a community competitive. JMC offers a $2,500 sign-on bonus, pay in the range of $22 to $27 per hour, medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, paid time off and holidays, and a 401(k) with a company match. For someone who values a predictable daytime schedule and steady work within a company that promotes from within, this is a reasonable place to build a foundation.
