  • Operate a commercial pressure washer to clean sidewalks, concrete surfaces, building entrances, and other exterior areas.
  • Empty exterior trash and recycling receptacles.
  • Monitor the property for graffiti, vandalism, property damage, spills, trip hazards, water leaks, and other maintenance concerns, reporting issues promptly.
  • Follow daily, weekly, monthly, and annual task schedules to ensure all assigned work is completed accurately and on time.
  • Maintain a professional, friendly, and customer-focused attitude while interacting with tenants, visitors, vendors, and the public.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Physical Requirements

  • Ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions.
  • Frequently stand, walk, bend, kneel, stoop, reach, and climb stairs throughout the workday.
  • Frequently lift and carry up to 25 pounds independently and occasionally lift or move up to 50 pounds with or without assistance.
  • Ability to safely operate pressure washing equipment and other cleaning tools.

Schedule

  • Part-time position: Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
  • Additional hours are frequently available at other company-managed properties for team members interested in expanding their schedule.
  • Overtime may be available based on business needs.

Qualifications

  • Positive attitude with a strong work ethic.
  • Reliable, punctual, and dependable.
  • Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision.
  • Reliable transportation to and from work.
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record and the ability to be approved to operate company vehicles.
  • Comfortable using smartphones or web-based applications to receive and complete work assignments.
  • Personal email address required.
