Core Spaces (Core) is a dynamic real estate investment management company that goes beyond just developing properties. Founded in 2010, Core focuses on acquiring, developing, and managing residential communities within the student housing and build-to-rent (BTR) markets. The company is committed to creating exceptional living environments that fuse progressive design, world-class amenities, and hospitality-driven service. Over the years, Core has grown to operate a significant portfolio comprising over 74,440 student housing beds and more than 3,000 BTR homes across various high-growth metropolitan areas. The organization’s culture is deeply rooted in six core values—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)—which guide their team in delivering innovative housing solutions and improving the resident experience continuously.

Core Spaces prides itself on being a ‘people company’ that emphasizes building relationships as much as constructing buildings. The company encourages collaboration, innovation, and a sense of belonging among employees by offering a supportive and inclusive work environment. Employees benefit from competitive pay, comprehensive health plans, paid flexible time off, special holiday recognition including birthdays, paid parental leave, volunteer time off, wellness perks, and robust retirement options like 401(k) matching. Core is invested in the growth and development of its workforce through monthly workshops, reduced meetings for greater collaboration, and employee assistance programs. This environment fosters a culture where every team member’s voice matters and contributions are valued.

The role of Porter at Core Spaces plays a vital part in maintaining the quality and appeal of Core’s residential communities. Responsible for the overall groundskeeping and cleanliness of the property, the Porter ensures that both interior and exterior common areas meet the company’s high standards. From trash removal and preparing waste for pickup to daily cleaning tasks such as mopping and vacuuming, this role demands attention to detail, physical stamina, and a commitment to sustaining a welcoming environment for residents. Porters also support the upkeep of landscaping, pool areas, and property furniture arrangement, fostering a pristine appearance that aligns with Core’s brand standards.

This position requires the ability to work a full shift on site, including evenings, weekends, and overtime when necessary. Physical demands include the frequent lifting and moving of objects up to 50 pounds, with tasks involving bending, stooping, and other manual activities typical of groundskeeping work. The Porter reports directly to the Maintenance Supervisor and plays an essential role in supporting move-outs, move-ins, and turnover services beyond regular working hours.

Ideal candidates will have a high school diploma or equivalent, be proficient in basic computer skills, and bring at least one year of experience in maintenance or a skilled trade. Experience in student housing or multifamily housing communities is highly preferred, as it provides valuable insight into the unique requirements of managing residential properties in these sectors.

Joining Core Spaces means becoming part of a team that values diversity, equity, and inclusion. The company promotes a culture where every individual is respected and empowered to bring their authentic self to work. Core Spaces is an equal opportunity employer committed to creating an equitable and inclusive environment that fosters a genuine sense of belonging and pride among its employees.
