Job description

We are a commercial janitorial company in Rockledge, Florida. Our clients are large facilities: healthcare,
schools, corporate campuses, mixed‑use outdoor retail.

Our Core Focus is Creating Healthy Environments Where People Thrive. Every facility we clean is
someone’s workplace, classroom, healthcare space, or community. When those environments are clean
and healthy, the people inside them can focus, collaborate, perform, and feel good about where they
are. We don’t just clean buildings. We create environments where people thrive.

We are also a systems driven company. We don’t wing it. Every facility we service runs on documented
processes, trained protocols, and consistent standards. When something needs to change, we adjust the
system, not just the person. For you that means written procedures and clear expectations rather than
guesswork about how things get done.

Our field crews are the face of Progressive Cleaning to every client and every guest who walks the
property, which is why we invest in training, equipment, and clear procedures for every crew member.

Who Thrives Here

These are our core values. We hire, review, and promote against them.

Reliable

You show up — on time, every shift, every commitment. Our clients trust us because our team is consistent. When you say you'll be there, you're there. Reliability isn't just about attendance; it’s about being someone your teammates and clients can count on without having to check.

Coachable

You're open to feedback and willing to grow. You don't have all the answers, and neither do we — but we're always improving. Being coachable means you listen, you adjust, and you get better. The moment you stop learning is the moment you stop growing with us.

Do the Right Thing

When no one is watching, you still do it right. Whether it's reporting a supply issue, flagging a safety concern, or treating a client's space with care — integrity isn't situational. We don't cut corners because it's faster or easier. We do the right thing because it's who we are.

Do What We Say

We keep our commitments — to our clients, to each other, and to ourselves. If we say the facility will be ready, it will be ready. If we say we'll follow up, we follow up. Trust is built one kept promise at a time, and broken by one that isn't.

Committed to Excellence

Good enough isn't our standard. We take pride in the work — not because someone is grading us, but because a clean, healthy environment matters to the people inside it. Excellence isn't perfection; it's the relentless pursuit of doing our best work every single time.
