THE TEAM:

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, treats + weekend banter
• Casual Fridays & Friday Happy Hour
• RRSP matching because future-you deserve it
• Extended Benefits & a Wellness Reimbursement Program
• A stocked office kitchen, great coffee, and healthy snacks for all-day fuel.
• Give back with Porte Cares – fundraise, volunteer, or have your personal charitable contributions matched
• Year-round learning and development opportunities

Our focus on building communities is carried out in many ways and everyone at Porte is encouraged to get involved. We fundraise each holiday season for the Food Bank, we set aside a budget to match employee charitable donations, and we run a charity from our office called Cassie + Friends that is dedicated to changing the lives of children who are living with Juvenile Arthritis.

Plus, we give back to the community through each of our new developments by donating $100 per home that is built to the Breakfast Club of Canada to help ensure kids don’t go to school hungry.

And, of course, you’ll be an integral part of a family company building on over 54 years of success, and progressive leadership in the real estate industry. We have big plans to continue to grow, which include increasing our residential rental and commercial portfolios, expanding into new markets across BC and Calgary and happily housing hundreds of homeowners each year.
