apply by February 28, 2026

About Us

Founded in 2016 with the management of just one single-family home, Axon Property Management has quickly grown into one of Ontario’s leading property management firms, specializing in providing a full range of services for a diverse portfolio of residential and commercial properties. Today, we proudly manage properties for over 4,500 tenants with a head office based in Kingston, ON and a full-time staff size of 75 employees. Our success is driven by a youthful, dynamic team that’s passionate about delivering results. At Axon, we foster a supportive, growth-focused environment where we help our team members succeed.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be painting and completing light turnover work across our residential properties, helping prepare units for new residents. Working alongside our maintenance team, you'll assist with interior and exterior painting, and general cleanup to ensure units are kept at a high standard. This role is hand-on and fast paced, offering practical experience in property upkeep and renovation support.

Who You Are

We’re looking for someone reliable, hardworking, and comfortable with hands-on work. You take pride in doing things properly, can follow instructions, and are able to work both independently and as a part of a team. Prior painting or renovation experience is an asset but not required.

Why Join Us?

  • Real Impact: You’ll handle meaningful projects that make a real difference in our properties and for our residents and property owners.
  • Learning and Mentorship: You’ll gain guidance from experienced professionals and learn best practices in the industry.
  • Pathway for Future Opportunities: Many of our current staff are recent Queen’s University graduates who started in roles like this. We love to bring back great summer students for future roles, so this can be a stepping stone for your career.
  • Community and Networking: You’ll be involved in projects and operations alongside current Queen’s alumni and even have opportunities to build connections within that community.

We also offer a competitive student wage and regular business hours, so you’ll have evenings and weekends free to enjoy your summer.

Timing

This position is for a summer student between May 1 - August 30.
