Comstock's ParkX division runs a portfolio of parking and mixed-use assets in the Herndon corridor, and this part-time exterior porter role sits at the front line of how those properties present themselves every single day. The schedule is straightforward: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 7 AM to 11 AM. Four hours, three days a week, outdoors and moving from the moment you clock in.
The work itself is physical and repetitive in the honest sense of that word. Pressure washing hardscapes, clearing trash from common areas, cleaning windows, keeping sidewalks and public spaces looking sharp before the morning traffic picks up. You'll report to the Senior Operations Manager for Janitorial and follow established checklists, but the expectation is that you spot problems without being told. A spill in a lobby, a hazard near an entrance, a supply running low. You notice it, you handle it or report it, you move on.
Event support is part of the role when the calendar calls for it, which means occasional weekend or after-hours availability. That's worth knowing up front. It won't be every week, but it's real.
One thing that separates a good porter from an average one in a mixed-use environment like this: the ability to read the property's rhythm. A parking structure or retail-adjacent common area at 7 AM has a specific window to get right before people arrive. Porters who treat the checklist as a floor rather than a ceiling, and who communicate proactively when something's off, tend to be the ones who stick around and move into lead or supervisory roles in facilities and operations.
Benefits are available and include medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, and life insurance, though coverage varies by role. Comstock also offers annual professional development funds and free parking with EV charging, which is a practical perk for a site-based position in Northern Virginia.
