Job Description

About the Establishment: Located in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, CA, this residential community is a well-established property with 122 units. The management team is committed to maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for all residents. With a focus on quality and professionalism, the community offers a full-time employment opportunity for individuals interested in contributing to the upkeep and smooth operation of the property. The position is based during day shifts, Monday through Friday, ensuring a structured work schedule and consistent hours.

About the Role: The Porter role is essential to the daily maintenance and appearance of the residential community. It is designed for a dedicated professional who will take responsibility for cleaning, polishing, and maintaining common areas as well as vacant units, ensuring the living spaces remain inviting and well-kept. The position commands a competitive salary of $21.00 to $22.00 hourly, reflecting the skills and experience required for the role.

The scope of work includes a variety of cleaning duties such as sweeping, scrubbing, waxing floors, polishing metalwork, and dusting furniture, as well as maintaining outdoor patios and cleaning windows and walls. The porter also supports minor maintenance tasks like changing light bulbs and unclogging toilets to keep the property fully functional. Because the position may occasionally require driving between properties or attending off-site meetings, a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and current auto insurance are essential.

The ideal candidate will have at least two years of relevant experience in a similar role and be proficient in basic computer skills, including using email and calendar functions. Familiarity with Yardi or other property management software is considered a plus. Additionally, the porter is expected to respond promptly to resident requests for service and maintenance emergencies, which may arise after hours or on weekends, thus requiring a flexible and responsible approach to work.

Overall, the Porter serves as an integral part of the property management team, helping to uphold high standards of cleanliness and safety. Full-time employment offers consistent hours—40 hours per week from Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM—along with an attractive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, a 401(k) plan with employer match, and paid vacation plus 15 paid company holidays. This comprehensive role suits individuals seeking steady employment with the opportunity to make a tangible difference in the quality of life within a large residential community. A commitment to excellence, reliability, and effective communication are crucial for anyone looking to succeed in this position.
