Comstock operates a significant mixed-use portfolio in the Reston and Reston Town Center corridor, where public-facing common areas see heavy foot traffic from residents, office tenants, and retail visitors well into the evening. This porter role sits at the intersection of facilities upkeep and guest experience. The afternoon-to-evening shift means you're on the ground when the plaza is most active, which makes professionalism and visible presence just as important as the cleaning work itself.
On a typical shift, you'll move through assigned common areas, lobbies, restrooms, and sidewalks, keeping everything clean and presentable according to daily checklists. Pressure washing, window cleaning, trash collection, and routine cleaning tasks make up the core of the work. When events or public gatherings are scheduled, you'll help with setup and breakdown, then handle the cleanup that follows. The schedule runs Wednesday through Sunday, so weekend availability is a genuine requirement, not a formality.
You'll track supply inventory, use cleaning chemicals according to safety protocols, and document any safety hazards or maintenance issues you spot during your rounds. At the end of each shift, you'll complete required paperwork and hand off clearly to the next shift. Covering for teammates during absences is part of the expectation.
The candidates who stand out in this kind of role aren't just thorough cleaners. They notice things proactively, a spill that hasn't been reported, a light that's out, a door that's sticking, and they communicate those observations clearly to management. That attentiveness is what separates a good porter from one who advances into lead or supervisory positions within a facilities or operations team.
Comstock offers medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) with employer match, and life insurance. Additional benefits include free parking, EV charging, parental leave, and annual professional development funding. Growth opportunities exist within Comstock's expanding portfolio for those who want to build a long-term career in property operations.
