Job Description

BGSF is a specialized staffing company focused on property management workforce solutions, particularly catering to apartment and student housing communities during their busiest turnover periods. Headquartered with operations in Columbus, OH, the company thrives on delivering reliable and hardworking talent that ensures smooth, efficient, and timely transitions for property turnovers. BGSF's reputation is grounded on its commitment to quality service, providing skilled personnel who excel in hands-on, physically demanding roles tailored for short-term contract assignments. The company emphasizes diversity, inclusion, and equal employment opportunities, welcoming applicants from all walks of life without discrimination based on race, color, national origin, or other protected characteristics.

This current opening is for a Porter/Groundskeeper position on a short-term contract basis, specifically designed to support a student housing community in Columbus, OH 43212, during peak move-out and move-in seasons. This role is essential in maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and operational readiness of student housing units as students vacate or occupy them. The position is highly physical, requiring individuals who are dependable and prepared to engage actively in tasks such as trash removal, grounds cleanup, light construction assistance with furniture installation, and general maintenance of community areas.

As a Porter/Groundskeeper under this contract, you will be part of an energetic and focused team responsible for ensuring that the community environment remains move-in ready. The role requires availability exclusively on specific scheduled dates across July and August, reflecting the high-intensity nature of the student housing turn season. Importantly, the job offers a competitive pay rate of $18 per hour and is predominantly daytime work, typically from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This temporary engagement is ideal for individuals seeking short-term employment while contributing meaningfully to a structured and fast-paced work environment that values physical stamina, punctuality, and a team-oriented mindset.

This opportunity is well suited for those who have prior experience in similar roles such as porters, groundskeepers, or move-out/turn support staff. Candidates must demonstrate physical capability, including the ability to lift and carry heavy items and perform extended physical tasks efficiently and safely. Alongside these physical demands, reliability and a commitment to attending all scheduled dates are crucial for success in this role. Overall, BGSF offers a unique opportunity to gain valuable experience in property management staffing while earning competitive wages during a vital seasonal window.
