About working at PARC

PARC communities are made for active seniors; inspiring spaces where our residents come to live well and engage with a vibrant community of like-minded people. Each of our residences is purpose-designed to give residents the freedom to live independently, nurturing their physical and mental well-being.

• Performing maintenance services such as cleaning, painting, plastering, snow removal, minor repairs, basic plumbing and electrical work within established timeframes.
• Helping to ensure the overall safety and cleanliness of the building.
• Responding to residents’ maintenance requests (work orders) in a timely and professional manner.
• Assisting with suite preparation for turnover, including carpet cleaning, painting, furniture moving and other tasks.
• Supporting the Building Services Manager as needed, including responding to emergency situations.
