The Scion Group is a recognized leader in the multifamily property management industry, known for delivering exceptional residential living experiences across its portfolio. With a commitment to operational excellence and customer-centric services, The Scion Group specializes in managing luxury apartment communities, offering residents quality living environments with attentive service and professional management. Founded with a mission to build long-term relationships with residents and provide well-maintained properties, the company has established itself as a trusted name in property management, emphasizing innovation, integrity, and community engagement.

This job posting is for an immediate opening at The Scion Group for the position of Porter/Gatekeeper, a vital role responsible for maintaining and enhancing the quality and functionality of common areas within residential properties managed by the company. This is a full-time position primarily focused on ensuring that outdoor and indoor common spaces are clean, safe, and well-maintained to enhance residents' living experience and uphold The Scion Group's standards. The Porter/Gatekeeper will undertake a variety of physically demanding tasks ranging from trash removal, landscaping duties such as mowing, trimming, pruning, and seasonal planting installations, to minor repairs and maintenance work including pool cleaning and irrigation system upkeep.

Being on-call (excluding paid time off) to address urgent situations after hours or weekends is part of the job expectations, reflecting the company's commitment to maintaining a high standard of living and safety at all times. This role plays a crucial part not only in the maintenance team but also in promoting a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment at the properties managed by The Scion Group.

Candidates interested in this position should be prepared to demonstrate reliability, physical stamina, and the capability to perform various maintenance tasks efficiently. This role offers an opportunity to grow within a respected property management firm that values its employees through benefits like health, dental, and vision insurance, 401k matching, paid parental leave, and discretionary annual bonuses. Employees also benefit from learning reimbursement programs, encouraging continued professional development.
