Job Summary
We're hiring a Janitorial Team Lead to run the nightly crew at one of our commercial accounts. This is a working lead role: you'll clean alongside a team of 2 to 6 people, and you'll also own the results for the whole building.
You set the pace, assign the areas, check the work before anyone clocks out, and keep the client happy. When a team member calls out, you cover the route. When something breaks or a supply runs low, you're the one who reports it before the client notices.
The ideal candidate has janitorial experience, has led people before (formally or informally), and takes personal ownership of how the building looks. If you'd rather be told what to do than decide what gets done, this isn't the job.
Responsibilities
Lead the crew
- Assign areas and tasks at the start of each shift and confirm every zone is covered
- Train new team members on our cleaning standards, chemicals, equipment, and safety procedures
- Set the pace on the floor by working alongside the crew, not watching from the side
- Confirm crew attendance, report callouts and no-shows to the Site Supervisor immediately, and cover open routes when the team is short
- Hold the team to the standard and address issues on the spot; escalate repeat problems to management
Own the quality
- Walk the building and inspect completed work before the crew leaves; correct anything that misses the standard
- Complete the nightly inspection checklist and shift report
- Track supply levels and submit orders before you run out
- Report equipment failures, building damage, safety hazards, and needed repairs to management the same night
Do the work
- Vacuum carpets, mop and scrub floors, clean and disinfect restrooms, dust and wipe surfaces, and empty trash
- Clean glass and windows, shampoo carpets, replace light bulbs, restock restroom and paper supplies
- Clean up spills and remove hazards promptly
- Follow all chemical handling, PPE, and safety requirements and make sure your crew does too
Represent the company on site
- Be the on-site point of contact for client requests and pass them to management
- Keep a professional appearance and attitude in front of the client at all times
- Secure the building at the end of the shift: lights, doors, alarm, and keys handled per client procedure
Qualifications
- High school diploma or equivalent
- 2+ years of commercial janitorial experience
- 1+ year leading or training others in any setting (crew lead, shift lead, foreman, military, or similar)
- Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license
- Working knowledge of commercial cleaning chemicals, floor equipment, and safety procedures
- Able to read and complete written inspection reports and communicate clearly with management and clients
- Bilingual English/Spanish strongly preferred
- Able to pass a background check
- Physically able to stand, walk, bend, and lift up to 50 lbs throughout the shift
- Dependable, detail-oriented, and accountable — you show up, and your building is right every night
Compensation: $16.00 - $19.00 per hour
