Job Description

The hiring establishment is a property management company focused on maintaining high-quality, safe, and attractive living environments for its residents. This company is dedicated to providing excellent customer service and ensuring that all communal areas within their properties, including clubhouses, offices, model units, hallways, and outdoor spaces, meet rigorous standards of cleanliness and maintenance. The company prides itself on delivering an exceptional living experience through well-kept grounds and highly responsive maintenance services, contributing to overall resident satisfaction and community appeal. This is a full-time, non-exempt role with an hourly wage and eligibility for benefits, emphasizing a stable and rewarding career in property upkeep and resident support.

The position of Groundskeeper is crucial for upholding the safety and visual appeal of the property’s common areas. As a Groundskeeper, you will be responsible for ensuring that both the indoor and outdoor environments of the property are clean, safe, and welcoming. This includes routine maintenance such as litter removal, landscaping care, and regular upkeep of common spaces to prepare for resident move-ins and daily use. Beyond physical maintenance, the role requires strong teamwork, communication skills, and a proactive approach to identifying and addressing issues that could affect the property’s appearance or residents’ satisfaction.

This role demands stamina and the ability to lift up to 50 pounds regularly, while also having a positive attitude and a commitment to embodying the company's culture and values. Training and development are part of the job, with ongoing participation in required sessions such as safety protocols and customer service excellence.

Overall, this Groundskeeper position offers a hands-on opportunity to contribute directly to the community environment, making it a key role in the property’s success and resident satisfaction.
