The Lincoln is a vibrant community-focused establishment dedicated to providing exceptional living experiences in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Known for its commitment to fostering a diverse culture, The Lincoln prides itself on delivering outstanding service and maintaining beautiful, well-kept grounds that enhance the overall appeal and comfort of the community. Located in a thriving area, The Lincoln offers residents access to a range of amenities designed to enrich their day-to-day lives. The management team is passionate about employee empowerment and engagement, creating a workplace where all staff members feel valued and encouraged to grow professionally.

We are currently seeking a motivated and energetic Groundskeeper/Porter to join our maintenance team. This full-time role is essential in maintaining the pristine condition and curb appeal of our community grounds and shared spaces. The successful candidate will play a critical part in ensuring that all outdoor and public areas—ranging from landscaping and gardens to the leasing office and parking lots—are clean, safe, and inviting. The Groundskeeper/Porter will operate various landscaping equipment, including commercial-grade power mowers and edgers, and handle other maintenance duties to uphold the overall aesthetic and functionality of the property.

The role also involves light maintenance tasks such as assisting with apartment make-readies, inspecting and replacing outdoor lighting, and contributing to pool area upkeep. Candidates must be comfortable working with tools, performing routine landscaping tasks like planting, trimming, and fertilizing, and adhering to safety standards outlined by OSHA and company policies. A positive attitude, strong work ethic, and the ability to interact professionally with residents, vendors, and team members are critical for success in this position.

This opportunity comes with a competitive benefits package designed to support your health, financial security, and professional development. Employees enjoy health, dental, and vision insurance options, a health savings account with employer contributions, and a 401k plan with company matching. Additional perks include life insurance, disability coverage, paid time off, holiday pay, and continuous education initiatives. The Lincoln values work-life balance and flexibility, with schedules that may include evenings, weekends, and holidays to meet the needs of the community.

Joining The Lincoln means becoming part of a forward-thinking team that values quality, teamwork, and a can-do spirit. If you are looking for a role where your contributions to community upkeep and resident satisfaction are recognized and appreciated, this Groundskeeper/Porter position offers an excellent career path with room for growth and development within a supportive and respectful work environment.
