The job of a porter is to clean facilities, such as hospitals, hotels, business buildings, casinos, and other public buildings like museums and courthouses. As a porter, your duties are to sweep and mop, take out the trash, clean the restrooms, and ensure that all cleaning and sanitary materials remain in stock. You also maintain and repair equipment as needed. Some porters work during regular business hours, while others may work night shifts. At a hotel, a porter’s responsibilities also include unloading luggage from a car or shuttle and carrying it to a guest’s room.
