With over 175 years of combined management experience, the company delivers tailored parking solutions that meet the unique needs of clients while ensuring smooth, seamless day-to-day operations across multiple locations. Universal Parking's success hinges on its ability to provide exceptional service through innovative, turn-key parking management strategies designed to improve customer experiences and operational efficiency.

The Maintenance Porter role at Universal Parking is integral to the daily functionality and upkeep of the parking facilities. This full-time position requires a dedicated professional to perform maintenance, repair gate and parking equipment, and maintain the cleanliness and safety of the parking decks. The Maintenance Porter supports multiple properties; therefore, the ability to travel between locations within a short distance is essential. The position operates on a 40-hour schedule, Thursday through Monday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with Tuesdays and Wednesdays off. This scheduling helps maintain consistent facility standards and addresses any issues promptly.

Maintenance tasks include general repair of gate equipment, such as handling broken gates and equipment resets, routine inspection of parking machines, and upkeep of parking deck areas. Painting traffic lines and operating garage sweeping equipment are also key responsibilities to ensure safe and clean facilities. While previous mechanical knowledge is preferred, Universal Parking offers comprehensive training on all specific equipment used at each location. This includes scan-to-pay systems, ticket dispensers, access control systems, and more.

Besides maintenance, the Maintenance Porter plays a significant customer service role, providing courteous assistance, answering parking-related inquiries, and explaining facility procedures to customers. The position involves tasks like issuing parking violations, applying immobilization devices when necessary, cleaning trash receptacles, and maintaining elevator areas. This work requires a flexible approach and an eye for detail to uphold the high standards expected by Universal Parking and its clients.

Working conditions often involve outdoor work and exposure to various weather conditions, which necessitates resilience and the ability to work in diverse environments. Uniforms are provided to ensure a professional appearance. Overall, this position offers a stable work schedule, competitive benefits including medical, dental, and vision insurance, and an excellent opportunity to join a reputable company with a positive culture that values innovation and teamwork. Candidates passionate about maintenance and customer service will find this role rewarding and integral to the success of Universal Parking's operations.
