About ITEX Group

Founded in 2002, ITEX Group is a privately held real estate investment and property management firm. We own and operate apartment communities across Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Colorado, with a focus on providing safe, quality, and well-maintained homes for our residents. Our team is the foundation of our success, and we are committed to building a workplace where people grow, contribute, and are recognized for their hard work.

About the Role

As a Porter at ITEX, you are the first impression residents and visitors have when they arrive at our community. Your work keeps the property clean, safe, and welcoming. This is a hands-on, outdoor role that involves cleaning common areas, maintaining the grounds, identifying property issues, and supporting the on-site maintenance team with routine tasks.

This is an entry-level position, but it is far from a small role. The Porter is essential to our community. You will work independently with daily direction from your Site Manager, and your work will be visible to every resident, every day. If you take pride in a job well done, enjoy working outside, and want to learn the property management industry from the ground up, this is a strong place to start.

What You'll Do

Keep the property clean and presentable:

• Sweep walkways, hallways, entryways, and parking areas daily
• Remove trash and litter from grounds; empty exterior trash receptacles
• Pressure wash common areas, walkways, and patios on a regular schedule
• Respond to weather events by clearing debris, ice, or standing water

Identify and report maintenance issues:

• Walk the property daily to spot damaged fencing, broken light fixtures, dead landscaping, water leaks, or any safety hazard
• Notify the team when issues are found so they can create work orders.

Support the maintenance team and site operations:

• Change light bulbs and HVAC filters on schedule
• Help prepare vacant units for new residents by removing trash and doing basic cleanup
• Assist with paint, basic fixes, and small repairs that don't require specialized skills
• Do basic checks on reported issues before escalating (breakers, plugs, visible damage)
• Assist with other tasks as directed by the Site Manager

Work safely and professionally:

• Follow all OSHA safety standards and ITEX safety policies at all times
• Use ladders, pressure washers, and hand tools safely and as trained
• Greet residents respectfully; direct resident questions or complaints to the Site Manager

What We're Looking For:

You don't need years of experience to succeed in this role. What you do need is a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and the willingness to take pride in your work.

Specifically, we're looking for someone who:

• Notices the details others miss (a piece of trash near the dumpster, a flickering light, a broken board on a fence)
• Shows up on time, every day, and works hard without needing constant supervision
• Treats residents and team members with respect, no matter the situation
• Takes initiative to fix small things before they become big problems
