Groundskeeper / Porter

Comstock's ParkX Porter team keeps Alexandria's shared spaces running at a standard that residents and visitors actually notice. This exterior porter role covers the common areas, sidewalks, lobbies, restrooms, and public-facing spaces across an assigned site, and the work shows up directly in how a property feels to everyone who walks through it.

What You'll Actually Do

Daily responsibilities center on keeping common areas clean and presentable from the start of every shift. That means walking assigned zones, collecting debris, pressure washing hardscape surfaces, cleaning windows, and working through scheduled checklists with attention to what's actually done versus what's just initialed. You'll stock and organize the cleaning supply room, track inventory, and handle chemicals according to safety protocols. When events come up, you'll support setup and breakdown on the ground level. You document anything that needs management attention: safety hazards, maintenance issues, equipment damage. At shift end, you complete required paperwork and hand off cleanly to the next shift.

This role also puts you in direct contact with residents, staff, and guests throughout the day. Greeting people professionally, responding to cleaning concerns as they come in, and staying composed in a high-traffic environment are all part of the job. Weekend availability is expected, especially around events or high-activity periods.

What You Bring

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Valid driver's license with no major violations
  • Flexibility to work weekends and outside standard hours when needed
  • Ability to lift, push, or pull up to 50 pounds and stay on your feet for extended periods
  • Comfort working in variable conditions: heat, cold, outdoor exposure, cleaning chemicals
  • Strong time management and the ability to prioritize without close supervision
  • Reliable, punctual, and professional in all interactions with residents and staff
  • Genuine attention to detail, not just speed

The Bigger Picture

Porter work sits closer to the operational core of a property than most people assume. Cleanliness scores feed directly into resident satisfaction, and resident satisfaction connects to renewal rates and overall occupancy. A site that consistently looks sharp costs less to lease and holds residents longer. Porters who build strong habits around documentation and communication often move into lead or facilities coordinator roles as they develop familiarity with the property and its systems. Comstock offers annual professional development funds and internal growth paths across a growing portfolio, which makes this a reasonable place to build from if you want more responsibility over time.

Comstock provides medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) matching, life insurance, free parking, EV charging, and parental leave. Benefits may vary by position.
