About The Position

University Edge & Dickinson Lofts is a student-focused community in the heart of Greenville, North Carolina — the "Emerald City" — serving East Carolina University's 27,000+ students. Located steps from ECU's campus at 550 Pitt-Greene Connector, the community features fully furnished studio, one-, two-, and four-bedroom floor plans, a private bathroom in every bedroom, a heated pool and sundeck, a clubhouse with fitness center and game room, and study space with a computer lab. A clean, sharp-looking property is the first thing prospects and residents notice — and the Porter is the person who keeps it that way every single day. As Porter, you keep the community clean, safe, and looking its best across all common areas, grounds, and amenity spaces. This is a hands-on, on-your-feet role for someone who takes pride in a spotless property, works well independently, and understands that curb appeal and cleanliness drive both leasing and resident satisfaction. You'll be a key part of the maintenance team, especially through the summer turn and August move-in.

A service-first, team-oriented attitude and professionalism around residents and guests.
Availability to work a schedule that ramps up during turn and move-in, including some weekends.

Sanitize high-touch surfaces, restock supplies, and keep restrooms and common areas fresh throughout the day.
