Job description

We have a fantastic Porter / Groundskeeper opportunity available!

Weinstein Properties, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia owns and manages over 60 apartment communities in Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia. Still owned and operated by the Weinstein family after 70+ years, our continued success is attributed to our hands on approach to daily operations and our focus on the customer experience.

Location: The Bowery at Southside

Schedule: Monday – Friday 8am-5pm. 40 hours per week!

Pay: $16.50 per hour plus quarterly bonuses (several holidays off paid, even your birthday is a paid day off!)

This role is ideal for someone who is reliable, detail-oriented, self-motivated, and takes pride in their work. Porters are essential members of our team, keeping our communities clean, beautiful, and welcoming. At Weinstein Properties, we do things differently. We invest in people, not just resumes. We believe in training talent from the ground up.

Ideal Characteristics of Successful Porters

• Reliability & Punctuality: Shows up on time, dependable, and trustworthy.
• Independence & Initiative: Works well independently, is a self-starter, and takes initiative to go beyond assigned tasks.
• Attention to Detail: Notices issues proactively and maintains a clean, well-kept appearance of the community.
• Strong Work Ethic: Keeps busy, completes tasks thoroughly, and doesn’t shy away from dirty or repetitive jobs.
• Team Player: Communicates and collaborates well with maintenance and leasing teams; helps out when needed without hesitation.
• Positive Attitude & Pride in Work: Takes pride in maintaining the property and contributes to community appearance.
• Adaptable & Versatile: Willing to take on various responsibilities such as light painting, housekeeping tasks, or supporting maintenance as needed.
• Growth Mindset: Open to learning new skills, with potential to grow into maintenance tech or other roles.

Things Candidates Should Know Before Starting

• You will get dirty: Tasks include picking up trash, cleaning pet waste stations, trashing out apartments, and other potentially unpleasant (but necessary) duties.
• Repetition is part of the job: Many tasks (like picking up litter and pet waste) are daily, recurring responsibilities.
• Opportunity for Growth: Team members with a great attitude and willingness to learn can grow into more advanced roles in maintenance.
• This is a physically demanding role: This position requires prolonged periods of standing and walking while performing tasks, frequently lifting and carrying items weighing up to 50 pounds or more, using hand tools and operating equipment (including backpack blowers, power washers), operating golf carts/trailers, frequently bending and stooping for planting, weeding and maintenance of outdoor spaces, and working in conditions with loud noise levels at times. This position also requires working outdoors year-round in potentially inclement weather conditions (i.e. heat, cold, rain, humidity). The person in this position must be able to complete all physical requirements of the job with or without a reasonable accommodation.
