FirstService Residential is a leading property management company specializing in residential community management across the United States and Canada. With a portfolio of over 9,000 residential communities and a team of 19,000 dedicated associates, the company is renowned for its commitment to quality service, associate satisfaction, and professional growth. FirstService Residential fosters a positive and inclusive workplace culture, as evidenced by its Great Place to Work certification, and offers competitive salaries along with comprehensive medical, dental, and retirement benefits. The company also prioritizes career training and ongoing professional development to empower its workforce.
This particular opportunity is for a Porter/Janitorial role, a vital position responsible for maintaining cleanliness and orderliness in building facilities, restrooms, and common areas. The role operates on a part-time schedule specifically on Saturdays, Sundays, and a flexible Monday shift, from 6am to 3pm, offering an hourly wage between $17 and $19. This position plays a crucial role in ensuring that the environments managed by FirstService Residential remain clean, safe, and pleasant for all residents and visitors.
The responsibilities of the Porter/Janitorial staff include performing various cleaning duties such as sweeping, mopping, scrubbing, vacuuming floors, washing walls and glass surfaces, cleaning showers and restrooms, polishing furniture and fixtures, and removing rubbish. The worker is also tasked with some routine maintenance activities like notifying management of repair needs and cleaning debris from common areas. Meeting and maintaining positive relationships with residents is emphasized to create an inviting and cooperative atmosphere within the community.
This job requires employees to handle a range of daily operational tasks including the preparation of cleaning solutions, power washing pool decks, removing graffiti, organizing events by setting up and removing decorations and furniture, and ensuring the safety precautions are strictly followed. The position also demands regular maintenance of the cleaning cart and providing courteous service to residents and tenants alike.
Beyond the practical cleaning and maintenance duties, this role involves an element of vigilance and administrative responsibility such as filling out logs, completing work orders, requisitioning supplies, and communicating effectively with supervisors and managers. The ideal candidate should demonstrate good judgment, be able to prioritize tasks, work both independently and as part of a team, and handle the physical demands of the job which include lifting up to 50 lbs, standing for long periods, and working outdoors under varying environmental conditions.
FirstService Residential also supports diversity and equal opportunity employment and is committed to compliance with all relevant federal, state, and local laws. Accommodations are provided to individuals with disabilities to enable them to perform the essential functions of the job. The company uses an Automated Employment Decision Tool (AEDT) to objectively assess candidates based on job-related qualifications and characteristics.

This role sets the foundation for a clean and well-maintained living space enhancing the quality of life for residents and supporting the overall community’s well-being.
