About HamHed

HamHed LLC is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) providing property maintenance and facility support services to federal, state, and local government customers.

About the Job

This is more than traditional janitorial work. You will work in an active construction environment, helping keep work areas clean, safe, and ready for ongoing construction. As areas of the facility are completed, you will also perform detailed final cleaning to prepare those spaces for inspection and turnover. This position is a good fit for candidates with experience in janitorial work, commercial cleaning, construction cleanup, custodial services, environmental services, housekeeping, or general labor.

• Sweep, vacuum, and HEPA-vacuum construction and completed areas.
• Remove construction dust, dirt, debris, spills, stains, labels, and residue.
• Keep active work areas clean and safe for construction personnel.

• Clean completed surfaces without damaging installed materials.
• Remove debris from concealed and limited-access spaces before areas are closed.
• Vacuum carpets and other soft surfaces.
• Clean concrete and finished flooring.
• Clean and sanitize plumbing fixtures.
• Clean light fixtures, lamps, globes, and reflective surfaces.
• Clean and polish windows, glass doors, mirrors, and other transparent surfaces.
• Clean walls, ceilings, cabinets, partitions, furniture, and other interior surfaces.
• Clean vents, registers, grilles, filters, and accessible equipment surfaces as directed.
• Remove dust and debris from areas such as above ceilings, utility chases, equipment spaces, shafts, and similar limited-access areas.
• Clean exterior paved areas and portions of the project site affected by construction.
• Perform detailed final cleaning to prepare completed areas for inspection and acceptance.
• Follow all project safety procedures and cleaning requirements.

• Able to follow written and verbal instructions.
• Comfortable working independently and with a team.
• Able to perform physical and repetitive cleaning tasks throughout their scheduled shift.
• Able to successfully pass a pre-employment drug screening and background check as a condition of employment.
