Job Description

Asset Living is a respected third-party property management firm that has been fostering thriving communities across the United States since its founding in 1986. With over three decades of experience, the company has grown from a small property management operation into one of the nation's most trusted partners in real estate management. Asset Living manages an extensive portfolio of properties that span multiple sectors, including multifamily housing, single-family home rentals, affordable housing, build-to-rent communities, active adult developments, and student housing. The company's remarkable growth and success stem from its team of talented individuals from diverse backgrounds who bring innovation and excellent results to clients and communities alike. Asset Living operates with a core philosophy summed up in its motto, "Together We Lead, Together We Succeed," emphasizing collaboration, leadership, and continuous improvement both for individuals and the organization.

Recognized nationally as one of the Best and Brightest Places to Work and ranked among the top 50 professionals in the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC), Asset Living maintains a reputation for its workplace culture, growth opportunities, and commitment to excellence in property management. The company holds memberships and accreditations from respected industry organizations, including The Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) and the Accredited Management Organization (AMO) designation. When joining Asset Living, employees become part of a dynamic, unified team that values every voice and fosters a culture of winning and professional development.

The Porter role at Asset Living is essential in maintaining the high standards of the properties managed by the company. As a Porter, you will be responsible for assisting in various maintenance activities, including corrective, preventative, routine, and cosmetic maintenance under the direction of the Maintenance Supervisor and Community Manager. This position involves ensuring the ongoing upkeep and cleanliness of the community by handling trash removal, maintaining the grounds, buildings, breezeways, and all shared interior and exterior spaces. With a strong emphasis on safety, efficient maintenance, and community appearance, Porters help sustain the company's commitment to creating attractive and safe living environments.

The role requires regular onsite attendance and active engagement with residents and management through responding promptly to maintenance requests and work orders. Porters will inspect community areas daily to identify and correct any hazardous or problematic conditions, contributing to the preventative maintenance program designed to extend the property's life and minimize future repair costs. Asset Living places high importance on adherence to key policies, safety standards, and OSHA guidelines, which the Porter supports by keeping maintenance shops organized, adequately stocked, and promoting safe work practices.

In addition to maintenance responsibilities, Porters play a pivotal role in fostering positive relationships with residents by delivering excellent customer service and consistency in enforcing community policies. The role involves participating in unit inspections, reporting violations, managing resources efficiently, and being available for emergency on-call situations. Physical demands of the job include maneuvering across various terrains, moving heavy objects, and operating machinery, so candidates should be prepared for a physically active and varied work environment.

Asset Living offers a competitive wage for this full-time position, ranging from $17 to $18 per hour, recognizing factors such as skills, experience, certifications, and training. Alongside their pay, employees benefit from a comprehensive total rewards package that includes medical, dental, vision, life, accidental and disability insurance, a 401(k) plan with employer matching, and performance bonuses when applicable. Full-time employees also receive paid sick days and company holidays, supporting work-life balance.

Overall, working as a Porter at Asset Living means being part of a company that values teamwork, leadership, professional growth, and community impact. Candidates who thrive in a collaborative environment and are committed to upholding property standards and fostering strong resident relations will find this role rewarding and full of opportunity for career development.
