Groundskeeper / Porter

Location: Charlotte, NC (Mixed Affordable & Senior Housing)
Pay: $17.00 per hour
Status: Full-Time

Role Overview

We are seeking a dedicated and hardworking Groundskeeper to maintain the "curb appeal" and safety of our 334-unit residential community. This role is vital to providing our senior and low-income residents with a clean, prideful place to call home. You will be the "eyes and ears" of the property, ensuring all outdoor areas and common spaces are pristine and hazard-free.

Primary Responsibilities

• Daily Property Upkeep: Walk the grounds daily to remove litter, debris, and pet waste from lawns, parking lots, and breezeways.
• Safety & Accessibility: Ensure all walkways and ramps-especially in senior-designated areas-are clear of trip hazards, leaves, and ice/snow during winter.
• Curb Appeal: Pressure wash buildings, clean leasing office glass, and maintain the tidiness of dumpster areas and compactor enclosures.
• Unit Turns: Assist the maintenance team in "trash-outs" (removing abandoned items) from vacant units to help prepare them for new residents.
• Basic Maintenance: Perform light tasks such as changing exterior light bulbs, assisting with mulch distribution, and minor touch-up painting.
• Resident Service: Maintain a professional and friendly demeanor when interacting with our senior residents and families.

Qualifications

• Experience: Previous experience in groundskeeping, janitorial, or general labor preferred (apartment experience is a plus).
• Driver's License: Must possess a valid Driver's License and have reliable transportation to get to work daily.
• Physical Ability: Must be able to work outdoors in all weather (NC heat/rain), lift up to 50 lbs, and remain on your feet for the duration of the shift.
• Reliability: Strong attendance record and a "can-do" attitude toward repetitive tasks.

Why Join Us?

• Competitive pay at $17/hr.
• Stable, consistent Monday–Friday schedule.
• The opportunity to make a meaningful impact on an affordable housing community.
