Job Description
Marriott International is a globally recognized leader in the hospitality industry, renowned for its commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences across its diverse portfolio of hotels and resorts. Among its prestigious brands is JW Marriott, a collection of luxury hotels located in prime cities and resort destinations worldwide. JW Marriott hotels uphold a tradition of excellence and luxury while fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment for employees. As part of Marriott International, JW Marriott emphasizes the importance of employee well-being, growth, and diversity, ensuring that those who work at their properties are valued and empowered to bring their best selves to the role.
The position available is for a Part-Time Porter at the JW Marriott located at 1401 SW Naito Pkwy, Portland, Oregon. This non-management role falls within the Rooms and Guest Services Operations category, integral to the overall guest satisfaction and hotel success. Porters at JW Marriott play a vital role in creating memorable and seamless guest experiences by supporting multiple departments and delivering exceptional service. They act as the backbone ensuring the smooth operation of hotel services by coordinating with housekeeping, engineering, banquet teams, restaurants, front desk, and other operational areas.
This role is much more than moving items from one place to another; it requires a strong commitment to service excellence, professionalism, and adaptability. Porters are entrusted with the responsibility of delivering items directly to guest rooms, assisting diverse departments with their logistics needs, and maintaining the hotel’s standards and policies. The work environment is dynamic, requiring physical activity such as standing, walking, climbing stairs, and maneuvering through tight spaces. Porters must handle items up to 55 pounds and perform various physical movements like reaching, kneeling, bending, and stretching.
Success in this role demands a dedication to creating a safe workplace, respecting confidentiality, and protecting company assets. Porters must present themselves professionally, adhering to uniform standards, appearance, and communication protocols at all times. They are expected to work collaboratively, demonstrate initiative, and be hands-on in performing tasks essential for guest satisfaction and hotel operational success.
JW Marriott is committed to equal opportunity employment and values diversity in all forms, fostering an inclusive environment where every employee feels welcomed and respected. The company actively promotes accessible opportunities and does not discriminate on the basis of disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristics. Employees at JW Marriott benefit from a workplace culture that prioritizes holistic wellness, ongoing training and development, recognition, and camaraderie among a diverse and talented workforce.
Joining JW Marriott means becoming part of a luxury hospitality brand that honors the legacy of its founder, J. Willard Marriott, blending innovation with tradition to deliver outstanding guest services. Employees here are trusted, genuine, and intuitive, contributing to a brand known worldwide for its excellence. The ‘JW Treatment’ philosophy begins with caring for employees, recognizing that happy team members translate into happy guests. With over 100 hotels globally, JW Marriott offers a unique work experience where you can grow your career, fulfill your purpose, and become the best version of yourself within an amazing global community.
