As an Area Manager, your time will be split between field leadership, quality control, and administrative oversight. Your core duties will include:

Team Leadership & Development: Recruit, onboard, train, and motivate a dedicated team of commercial cleaning associates.

Operational Excellence: Conduct routine inspections of client facilities to guarantee contract compliance and exceptional quality control.

Client Relations: Act as the primary point of contact for local businesses, addressing requests promptly and maintaining high customer satisfaction.

Resource Management: Manage labor hours, schedule shifts, cover open assignments when necessary, and track supply/equipment inventory across multiple sites.

Safety Compliance: Enforce company policies, chemical safety guidelines (OSHA), and secure building lock-up procedures.

What We Look For

Proven experience in a supervisory, management, or team lead role (cleaning, retail, hospitality, or logistics experience is a huge plus).

Excellent communication skills to effectively connect with both entry-level staff and corporate clients.

Strong problem-solving abilities and a self-motivated attitude to work independently in the field.

A valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and a clean driving record (travel between local sites is required).

Flexibility to work evening hours, as most commercial cleaning operations take place after standard business hours.

Competitive salary with growth opportunities.

Comprehensive hands-on training and leadership mentorship.

Paid time off and holiday pay.

Company-provided communication tools and mileage reimbursement.

A supportive, team-oriented work environment
