Porte Communities Relief Manager
The Team:
Providing people with the best place to live and work since 1968, Porte isn’t just about real estate - it’s about community. For more than 58 years, we’ve been shaping neighborhoods, uplifting lives, and doing work that truly matters, all thanks to our people.
What guides us? Our Porte Promises - a set of beliefs we’ve thoughtfully shaped, lived, and fine-tuned over time. They anchor how we show up every day: People Focused. Committed to Excellence. Trustworthy. Community Builders. When we pair these promises with action, we create change that lasts.
A career at Porte means joining a supportive, welcoming team where you can grow, contribute, and actually have fun at work. We’re proud to be Great Place to Work® Certified, and we offer a variety of Porte Perks designed to help you thrive – and enjoy the ride:
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 58 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.
