No matter a person’s interests or skill set; whether it be a professional career for college students, graduates, military members in transition, and well-qualified candidates seeking a career change, careers in the industry emphasize responsibility, inclusivity, and innovation, as well as provides numerous opportunities to give back to the communities in which people live and work. With housing at the critical need point, especially in the greater Boston area, the job opportunities are many and varied.
Peabody Properties has a track record of success within the industry and with its employees. The organization has been recognized with a number of awards, including being named a 2017 and 2018 Top Place to Work by the Boston Globe and a 2018 and 2019 Glassdoor Best Place to Work (most recently ranked at #10).
