What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate is someone who notices the little things. If there is trash in the parking lot, weeds around a sign, leaves around the pool, an overflowing trash can, or an area the landscaping crew missed, we want someone who sees it and takes care of it without having to be asked.
This is an important position because you will help ensure that our residents and prospective residents see a clean, attractive, and well-maintained community every day.
This position is a great fit for someone who enjoys working outdoors, staying active, maintaining swimming pools, and taking pride in the appearance of the property.
