Property Manager

Targa Real Estate Services manages over 150 multifamily communities across the Pacific Northwest. We’re big enough to offer stability and support, but small enough to care about the people behind the work.

Our entry‑level maintenance and porter team members are the backbone of keeping our communities clean, safe, and welcoming. If you’re hardworking, dependable, and ready to learn, this is your chance to grow into a long‑term career in property maintenance.

• You show up on time, ready to work, and don’t mind getting your hands dirty.
• You’re reliable, hardworking, and comfortable being outdoors in all seasons.
• You like keeping things clean, organized, and in good working order.
• You may not know every tool yet, but you’re eager to learn.
• You’re a team player who takes direction well and takes pride in a job well done.

• Keep the property looking its best—inside and out—by completing daily cleaning, light repairs, and upkeep.
• Support with apartment turns: cleaning, painting touch‑ups, hauling items, and helping prepare units for new residents.
• Assist with basic maintenance tasks (plumbing, electrical, appliance checks, and minor fixes) under the guidance of the Maintenance Lead.
• Maintain curb appeal: pick up debris, pressure wash sidewalks, care for landscaping, and keep common areas safe and tidy.
• Report maintenance or safety issues promptly and support the team with seasonal needs (snow/ice removal, sprinkler prep, etc.).

• A strong work ethic, reliability, and willingness to learn.
• Physical ability to lift, carry, bend, and work both indoors and outdoors.
• A positive attitude and ability to work well with your team and residents.
• No prior experience required—just bring your dedication.
• Previous groundskeeping, janitorial, or general labor experience is a plus, but not required.

• $25/hour, full‑time
• Medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) with company match
• Paid holidays, PTO, and sick time
• A supportive team that will train you and help you grow
• Opportunities to move into higher‑level roles as you build your skills

We don’t just want you to clean up—we want you to step up. This role is the start of a career path in property management and maintenance. Show us your hard work, and we’ll give you the tools, training, and opportunities to build your future here.
