Core Spaces (Core) is more than a real estate company; it is fundamentally a people company, emphasizing the importance of building relationships alongside building properties. With a diverse team ranging from researchers and architects to designers and operators, Core embodies a culture of risk-taking and dreaming big, united by a mission to invent the future of living. Central to their operations are six cultural values that guide their daily efforts: PUSH (Invent Better Places to Live), GRIT (We Got This), LIFT (Help Each Other Win), SHINE (Bring Your Full Self), UPHOLD (Never Break Trust), and GROW (Always Get Better). This culture of collaboration and innovation drives every aspect of their work, enabling them to consistently enhance the resident experience and deliver spaces and services that redefine modern living.

Founded in 2010, Core is a vertically integrated real estate investment manager with a focus on acquiring, developing, and managing properties across two primary residential sectors: student housing and build-to-rent (BTR). Their portfolio includes over 59,000 student housing beds currently owned or managed and an additional pipeline of over 50,930 beds in development. The BTR division is actively developing and leasing over 3,000 homes across high-growth metropolitan areas nationwide. Each community Core creates features world-class amenities, progressive design elements, and hospitality-driven service, reflecting their commitment to creating vibrant, desirable places to live.

The position of Porter at Core Spaces is a crucial on-site role responsible for maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and aesthetic appeal of residential properties. The Porter ensures that groundskeeping tasks are executed efficiently as directed by supervisors, contributing significantly to the overall resident experience by maintaining exteriors, amenities, and common areas. Key responsibilities include trash removal and preparation for waste pickup, daily cleaning including mopping and vacuuming, landscaping upkeep between third-party service visits, and ensuring that all amenity and common areas meet brand and company standards for presentation and cleanliness. This role requires working full shifts on-site with flexibility to work additional hours including evenings, weekends, and overtime when necessary, particularly during peak times such as move-outs, turns, and move-ins.

Working as a Porter involves physical tasks such as lifting and moving objects up to 50 pounds regularly, as well as bending and stooping throughout the workday. The ideal candidate will have at least a high school education or equivalent, be proficient with basic computer tasks, and possess previous maintenance or skilled trade experience. Experience within the student housing or multifamily residential industries is a distinct advantage.
