Job Description

ABM (NYSE: ABM) is a globally recognized leader in facility services and solutions, dedicated to creating cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable environments. Established in 1909, ABM has expanded its reach and capabilities to provide comprehensive service offerings that span janitorial services, engineering, electrical and lighting, HVAC and mechanical, parking, landscape, and mission-critical solutions. Serving a vast array of industries including commercial office buildings, airports, hospitals, universities, manufacturing plants, entertainment venues, and distribution centers, ABM boasts an impressive workforce of over 100,000 employees across more than 350 offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, and other international locations. This long-standing heritage and forward-thinking approach have positioned ABM as a trusted partner for over 20,000 clients worldwide.

The Maintenance Porter role at ABM is a key position based at the 999 18th St. location in Denver, Colorado. This role is designed for individuals who are eager to enter or re-enter the workforce with limited experience, making it an excellent opportunity for military veterans or candidates transitioning from other fields. This full-time position operates Monday through Friday from 3:00 PM to 9:30 PM and offers a competitive hourly pay rate of $20.00. The Maintenance Porter is responsible for maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and proper functioning of critical facility areas including parking garages, building lobbies, elevators, and designated floors.

A significant aspect of this role involves operating an industrial power-sweeping machine used for keeping the parking garage clean. The Maintenance Porter not only operates this heavy machinery safely but also performs routine inspections, basic troubleshooting, and minor maintenance such as cleaning and lubrication to ensure optimal equipment performance. In addition to equipment operation, this role supports general janitorial duties such as trash removal, replenishment of supplies, spot-cleaning surfaces, and assisting with seasonal or special event cleaning projects.

The job requires a blend of technical aptitude and physical stamina, including the ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds routinely and operate machinery requiring hand-eye coordination. The position demands strong attention to detail to consistently maintain a professional and safe environment. The working conditions include exposure to typical indoor building environments as well as the conditions present in parking garages, such as dust, fumes, and temperature variations.

ABM highly values safety awareness and effective communication skills, as the Maintenance Porter regularly interacts with building staff and tenants. The role emphasizes the importance of following all safety guidelines, facility rules, and operational protocols, ensuring the delivery of high-quality and reliable service throughout the shift. In summary, this position offers a comprehensive and engaging entry point into facility maintenance careers with opportunities for growth supported by ABM's commitment to employee development and diversity.
