Job Description

Being the head laundry attendant, you will be responsible for completing the below tasks similar to regular laundry attendants, but also will assist with training all new staff to ensure that they know how to properly use the machines, handle stains, complete linen rotations, folding and storing techniques, among the other various laundry tasks.

Responsibilities

• Disinfecting and/or stripping (linen, amenities, fireplace ashes, etc.) chalets upon guest checkout
• Sorting linen appropriately to be laundered; sheets, towels, etc.
• Loading washing machines (according to our load volumes) and setting the appropriate formulas/wash cycles/programs, specific to the load/linen at hand.
• Transfer cleaned linen from the washer to the dryers (according to our load volumes) and setting the appropriate drying formula/program (temp/time) to achieve the best quality in the quickest manner.
• Ensuring that no machine stays empty when linen could be transferred. This requires you to quickly and efficiently transfer dirty linen to the washing machine as soon as the previous load is finished, or transferring clean linen from the washer to the dryer as soon as the washer finishes its cycle; this is to ensure that the smooth and efficient flow of linen is constantly maintained and that the linen does not get backed up.
• Properly spray the correct stain removal treatment, based on the type of stain present, on all stained linen as per your initial training, which includes a time frame to do such a task (e.g., near the end of the day). This includes the proper handling and storing of such chemicals.
• Assisting with restocking housekeeping shelves as supplies become depleted (e.g., toilet paper, Kleenex, paper towels).
• Ensuring the laundry room area remains clean and organized at all times, including end-of-day cleaning and disinfection (e.g., lint traps/floors/tables).
• Ensuring inventory levels are maintained or replenished for all washers, spot treatment, and drying chemicals and/or products.
• Ensuring the housekeepers always have an abundance of linen available to them when they need it, including rags.
• Folding all types of linen quickly and efficiently, with attention to detail to identify stains/hairs/rips or tears to ensure linen quality standards are met.
• Sorting and storing all folded linen in a neat and organized manner, as trained; ensuring restaurant linen is folded straight from a warm dryer for a pressed look (no wrinkles).
• Assist with training, coaching and performance appraisals.
• Ensure linen rotation is completed.
• Go through linen daily and perform quality control; remove very thin and worn linen for supervisor review to determine whether to turn into rag or staff linen.
• Assist the housekeeping department as a whole for any task requested to fill in necessary gaps.

Qualifications

• Experience: No experience required but it is an asset.
• Physical stamina and mobility including the ability to reach, kneel and bend; ability to lift up to 50 lbs, push and pull required items (e.g., wet linen).
• A driver’s license is required to drive golf carts.
• Achievement-motivated to meet and surpass realistic goals.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment independently or in a team.
• Must be able to work well under pressure and during stressful situations.
• Excellent time management skills; must be pleasant, friendly and able to address problems or special requests.
• Ability to take the initiative and do what needs to be done.
• Strong communication skills and great team spirit.
• Good attention to detail and the ability to multi-task.
• Integrity and honesty; adaptable, reliable and punctual.
