Description

THE TEAM:

Porte has been serious about real estate since 1968 and in those 55+ years we've realized we aren't just developing or managing properties, we're helping build communities and enriching lives.

You'll find that spirit in our award-winning developments, extraordinary charitable work and in every employee who proudly calls Porte their place of work.

When people feel this good about doing their job, amazing things happen.

There are countless reasons to consider a career with Porte. For starters, you'll be part of an encouraging, supportive team with plenty of room for growth.

Plus, you'll enjoy many Porte Perks, these are just a few:

Kickstart Mondays with coffee and weekend banter
Weekly fitness training sessions
Friday happy hour (on the rooftop when weather permits)
Training and educational events throughout the year
A social committee that plans creative gatherings to make sure we are having fun

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.
