This position is based on-site at Launch Partments and plays a critical role in maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and aesthetic appeal of the community. As a key team member reporting directly to the Maintenance Supervisor, the Porter/Groundskeeper is entrusted with the responsibility of daily grounds upkeep, including trash removal and cleaning of common areas such as hallways and courtyards. Beyond these essential tasks, the role involves preparing vacant units for new residents, ensuring appliances and fixtures are in pristine condition, and assisting with property turnover tasks to help the property maintain its value and welcoming atmosphere.

In addition to cleaning duties, the Porter/Groundskeeper performs light maintenance work, reporting unusual conditions or repair needs to the supervisory team and replacing minor fixtures as needed both inside and outside the property. Safety is paramount, and the role requires adherence to OSHA guidelines, participation in safety training, and proper use of safety equipment to maintain a hazard-free environment. The position may also involve maintaining pool and spa facilities in compliance with local safety and certification standards.

The candidate should be adaptable, technologically proficient, and open to obtaining a Carbon Literacy Certification. Yugo offers a rich benefits package, including health, dental, vision insurance, 401k with employer matching, paid time off, paid holidays, parental leave, and more, to reward its employees' dedication and support their well-being.
