Groundskeeper

About the role

Weinstein Properties has been family-owned for over 70 years, operating more than 60 apartment communities across Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia. The Addison at Swift Creek community in Midlothian is looking for a Groundskeeper to join the on-site team.

Schedule

Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm — genuinely one of the better schedules in residential property management for an hourly role.

What the work involves

The work is physical and repetitive. You'll be outside year-round, which in central Virginia means hot, humid summers and cold, wet winters. Lifting up to 50 pounds regularly is part of the routine, not the exception.

• Pick up trash and pet waste daily
• Trash out vacant units
• Use backpack blowers, power washers, and a golf cart or trailer to move around the property
• Some days you'll do light painting or housekeeping tasks

Career path

Weinstein trains people into Maintenance Technician roles — a meaningful step up in pay, skill set, and long-term career options. The groundskeeper position is where a lot of solid maintenance techs get their start because they spend time learning the property, building relationships with the maintenance team, and developing habits around proactive care. If you come in with a good attitude and stick around, that trajectory is real.

Pay

Starts at $16.50 per hour with quarterly bonuses. There's also a $1,000 stay-on bonus available after 90 days in good standing.

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401k
• PTO and paid holidays
• Birthday time off
• Employee Assistance Program
• Rent discount if you live at a Weinstein community

Who succeeds in this role

• Shows up on time, consistently, without needing to be followed up on
• Takes initiative when they see something that needs attention, without waiting to be told
• Handles repetitive, unglamorous tasks without cutting corners
• Communicates well with the maintenance and leasing teams and pitches in when needed
• Is genuinely open to learning maintenance skills over time

Requirements

No specific experience is required. What Weinstein is selecting for is reliability and work ethic. If you've got those, the rest can be taught.
