About The Position

At Porte, our commitment to real estate has been unwavering since 1968. For more than 57 years, we’ve learned that we’re not just building properties — we’re shaping communities and enriching lives. This passion shows up in everything we do: our developments, our charitable initiatives, and the dedication of every team member. When people find fulfillment in their work, incredible things happen.

A career with Porte means joining a supportive, diverse team where growth is encouraged, contributions are valued, and fun is part of our culture. Alongside meaningful work, you’ll enjoy a variety of Porte Perks, including:

Kickstart Mondays with coffee and weekend banter.
Weekly fitness training sessions.
Friday happy hour (rooftop edition, when the sun’s out!).
Ongoing training and learning opportunities throughout the year.
A vibrant social committee that makes sure we celebrate together.

Our commitment to community-building is woven into our culture. Through the Porte Cares initiative, every team member can make an impact — from holiday food bank fundraising, to participating in Cassie + Friends, to seeing their own charitable contributions doubled with Porte’s donation matching program. On top of this, every new home we build contributes $100 to the Breakfast Club of Canada, helping ensure no child goes to school hungry.

By joining Porte, you’ll be part of a second-generation, family-run company with a proud legacy and progressive leadership in real estate. With ambitious plans to expand our residential rental and commercial portfolios across BC and Calgary, we’re providing homes for hundreds of homeowners each year — and shaping communities along the way.

At Porte, every role offers the chance to make a meaningful impact. Welcome to Porte — where growth, community, and success are more than values; they’re how we live and work.
