Job Description

BH is a people-first multifamily owner and operator that has evolved from a small startup in 1993 to one of the largest commercial real estate companies in the United States. With a portfolio managing over 100,000 units and a workforce exceeding 2,800 employees, BH is renowned for its ethical approach to business and dedication to investing in its team. The company handles all its processes internally and has earned accolades from Fortune Magazine as Best Workplace for Women, Best Workplace for Millennials, and Best Workplaces for Diversity. BH relies on innovation and a proactive mindset to continuously improve and redefine the way multifamily living is managed and enhanced. A culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement is at the heart of BH's identity, making it an exciting and rewarding place to grow a career.

The Porter role at BH is a vital position responsible for maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and overall condition of both exterior grounds and interior common areas within BH-managed properties. The position reports directly to the Community Manager and carries no direct reports. This full-time onsite role focuses on creating an inviting, well-maintained living environment for residents and prospective tenants alike. As a Porter, you will embody BH's core values by demonstrating professionalism, courtesy, and a service-driven approach that reflects positively on the company’s reputation. The role requires a strong commitment to detail and efficiency, applied with a positive attitude and a team-oriented mindset.

Key responsibilities include maintaining exterior landscape areas, parking lots, sidewalks, building exteriors, and gutters to ensure pristine conditions. Inside, duties extend to upkeep of common areas, trash management including move-out trash disposal, and support with pool area maintenance. The Porter is also tasked with organizing and cleaning work areas and maintenance shops, contributing to operational efficiency and workplace safety. Communication responsibilities such as posting community notices when necessary further support smooth property management operations.

Ideal candidates possess prior experience or knowledge in grounds maintenance, landscaping, janitorial, or general building upkeep. A working understanding of basic maintenance tools and cleaning equipment is essential, and familiarity with computer skills to support job functions is highly valued. Physical stamina and mobility are also critical, as the job requires lifting up to 50 pounds, continuous movement including bending, stooping, and climbing stairs, and the ability to work in various weather conditions. For those who enjoy active, hands-on work in a dynamic environment, this role offers both challenge and opportunity to contribute meaningfully to BH’s commitment to excellence in multifamily property management.

The work schedule primarily follows a Monday through Friday routine, though timing may vary as operational needs dictate. BH’s inclusive workplace embraces diversity and encourages applications from all backgrounds, affirming its status as an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer. Compensation is competitive and reflective of market considerations, with pay based on individual expertise and experience. Joining BH means becoming part of a forward-thinking, supportive team that values integrity, innovation, and the drive to shape the future of living spaces in communities nationwide.
