Residential properties run on first impressions. Lobbies, hallways, restrooms, and exterior walkways set the tone for how residents and visitors experience a community every single day. This porter role at Comstock's Reston, VA location keeps those spaces clean, safe, and presentable across a consistent weekday and Sunday schedule.
The schedule runs Monday through Friday, 7am to 3pm, plus Sunday mornings from 7am to noon. You'll cover common areas throughout the property: lobbies, sidewalks, public restrooms, and shared spaces. Daily tasks include routine cleaning, pressure washing assigned areas, trash collection, and window cleaning. You'll follow checklists provided by the Senior Operations Manager and complete shift-end documentation before handing off to the next team member.
Beyond the daily routine, you'll support event setup and breakdown when the property hosts resident or public gatherings. If a cleaning concern comes up mid-shift, you address it. You'll also monitor supply inventory, flag equipment issues, and report any safety hazards or maintenance problems to management. Covering for teammates during absences is part of the job.
You'll wear the approved ParkX Porter uniform and arrive on site before your shift starts. Residents and guests will interact with you throughout the day, so professionalism and a friendly presence matter here as much as the physical work.
Comstock offers medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) matching, life insurance, parental leave, free parking, and EV charging. The company also provides annual professional development funding, and there are advancement opportunities within their growing portfolio.
One thing worth knowing: porter roles at well-managed residential properties often serve as a reliable entry point into broader facilities or maintenance operations. Candidates who pay close attention to detail, communicate problems clearly, and build trust with the management team frequently move into lead or supervisory positions over time.
