Job description

Butler Plus is a leading provider of doorstep trash, pest control, porter services, bulk and junk removal, sustainability solutions, and pressure washing for multifamily communities across the country. We currently service more than 350,000 units across 1,200+ communities nationwide and are known for delivering reliable service, strong operational support, and an elevated experience for both residents and property teams.

Butler Plus has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, TIME Magazine, and on CNBC. We take pride in hiring professional team members who make a difference every day and in fostering a culture built around our five Core Values: Figure It Out, Champion of Change, Do the Right Thing, Never "Not My Job," and Expect Excellence.

Who You Are:

As a Full-Time Porter, you are the reason a community looks and feels cared for. You will work a consistent 40-hour week on a schedule built around the needs of your assigned communities, keeping the common areas, amenities, and grounds of your assigned communities clean, safe, and guest-ready. Depending on the market, you may be dedicated to one community or cover a route of several communities on a set weekly schedule. You take pride in details residents and property teams notice — a spotless lobby, a clean elevator, a litter‑free breezeway — and you communicate clearly with your on‑site property contacts. This is a "Never Not My Job" role for someone who is dependable, self‑directed, and holds a high standard for their work.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Common Area & Amenity Cleaning

• Clean and maintain leasing offices, lobbies, clubhouses, fitness centers, business centers, conference rooms, and other amenity spaces — dusting, surface wiping, glass and mirror cleaning, trash removal, and floor care (sweeping, mopping, vacuuming).
• Clean and sanitize common‑area restrooms, including fixtures, counters, mirrors, and floors, and restock paper products and soap.
• Clean elevators (cabs, doors, tracks, and panels), residential hallways, breezeways, and stairwells, including carpet vacuuming and spot cleaning.
• Service trash chute rooms and garage trash areas — remove overflow, wipe down surfaces, and keep rooms clean and odor‑free.

Exterior & Grounds

• Walk the property to pick up litter and debris from grounds, parking areas, sidewalks, and landscaped areas.
• Clean pool decks, outdoor kitchens, grills, and furniture; empty exterior trash receptacles.
• Service pet waste stations — empty, clean, and restock bags.
• Maintain cleanliness of the compactor and dumpster area, and identify abandoned bulk items for reporting.

Documentation & Communication

• Clock in and out, complete task checklists, and capture before/after photos in our proprietary system for every visit.
• Report maintenance issues, safety hazards, damage, and resident concerns to your supervisor and on‑site property team promptly.
• Maintain a professional, courteous presence with residents, guests, and property staff at all times.

Safety, Supplies & Equipment

• Use cleaning chemicals and equipment safely and as trained, following label directions and Safety Data Sheets (SDS).
• Keep supplies stocked and equipment clean and in good working order; notify your supervisor before supplies run low.
• Support other Additional Services as needed, which may include but are not limited to: pressure washing, bulk item hauling, doorstep trash coverage, and light community cleanliness tasks.
• Comfortable working indoors and outdoors in Florida/Southern weather, walking long distances on properties, and performing physical tasks such as lifting up to 50 pounds, bending, kneeling, climbing stairs, and standing for extended periods.
• Perform additional duties as assigned.

Schedule & Hours:

• Full‑time, 40 hours per week — weekly hours remain consistent.
• Days and shift times vary based on the needs and schedule of your assigned communities; shifts are primarily daytime.
• Weekend coverage may be required depending on property needs.
• Schedule is set in advance by your supervisor and may be adjusted as community needs change.
• Must be able to report to different communities within the market as scheduled.

Position Requirements:

• High school diploma or equivalent required.
• Prior experience in janitorial, housekeeping, porter, or facilities cleaning preferred; multifamily, hospitality, or commercial cleaning a plus.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Prior experience delivering high‑quality customer service, ensuring client satisfaction and retention.
• Clear oral and written communication skills; comfortable using a smartphone app to log work and photos.
• Must have reliable transportation to and from assigned communities (no company vehicle is provided for this role).
• Must be comfortable working in both indoor and outdoor settings and walking the distance of a property.

Benefits, Perks, and Culture:

• Healthcare Plans (Medical, Dental, Vision, Life)
• 401k Company Matching Plan, after 90 days of employment
• Maternity, Paternal, and Additional Leave Options
• Flexible Personal Time Off (PTO)
• Fun and collaborative work environment with training and a feedback‑rich culture.

Offer of employment is contingent upon the candidate successfully passing a preemployment criminal background check and clean driving history.
