Day Porter

Day Porter

The City of Hillsboro is hiring one full-time Day Porter to support the Shute Park Aquatic & Recreation Center (SHARC) and Hidden Creek Community Center (HCCC).

This is a hands-on, customer-facing custodial position in two active recreation facilities. You will help keep public areas clean, stocked, and ready for use while building positive relationships with staff and patrons. Successful employees notice what needs attention, respond to changing priorities, and manage their time effectively throughout the shift.

The regular work schedule is:

• Sunday: 6:00 a.m.–2:30 p.m.
• Monday–Thursday: 11:00 a.m.–7:30 p.m.

A typical day may include:

• Sweeping, spot mopping, and vacuuming lobbies, hallways, and other shared spaces.
• Cleaning and sanitizing tables, chairs, counters, and other frequently touched surfaces.
• Cleaning and restocking restrooms.
• Monitoring lobbies and common areas to quickly identify spills, waste, or other issues requiring attention.
• Emptying trash and recycling containers and keeping disposal areas orderly.
• Responding to urgent custodial needs, including spills, clogged toilets or sinks, and biohazard cleanups.
• Maintaining cleaning supplies and notifying appropriate staff when inventory needs to be replenished.
• Providing friendly and responsive service to patrons and City staff.
• Coordinating with facility staff while independently managing assigned tasks and priorities.

SHARC and Hidden Creek Community Center are busy public facilities serving community members with a wide range of backgrounds and needs. The work requires regular interaction with patrons and staff while cleaning during operating hours.

Travel between the two facilities may be required during the workday. A City vehicle will be available for authorized work-related travel.

The strongest candidates will bring the following skills on their first day:

• A customer-service mindset and the ability to build respectful working relationships with staff and patrons.
• Strong attention to detail and the awareness to quickly identify what needs immediate attention.
• The ability to accept direction, communicate clearly, and respond positively to feedback.
• Dependability, time-management skills, and the ability to manage assigned work with limited supervision.
• The ability to adjust priorities while maintaining consistent cleaning and service standards.
• Comfort working with people from varied backgrounds and providing respectful service to everyone.

Spanish language skills are helpful but not required. Training on approved cleaning chemicals, proper mixing procedures, site-specific practices, and required safety procedures will be provided after hire.
