About the role

• Sofive runs indoor and outdoor soccer facilities across the US, where kids, adults and clubs come to play, train and compete every day. As a Janitor, you’ll join the facility operations team at your center and keep the building clean, safe and welcoming for players, families and staff. You’ll report to the Facility/General Manager and work closely with front desk staff, coaches and the maintenance team. Shifts may include early mornings, evenings and weekends, which are our busiest times.

What you’ll do

• Clean and sanitize restrooms, locker rooms, lobbies, offices, party rooms and spectator areas on a set schedule, and restock soap, paper products and other supplies.
• Sweep, mop, vacuum and scrub floors, and keep entrances and walkways free of debris, water and (in season) snow and ice.
• Empty trash and recycling throughout the facility and take it to the dumpsters.
• Clean and tidy the field areas between sessions, including benches, goals and turf edges. Report any damaged nets, turf or equipment.
• Clean glass, doors, railings, water fountains and other high-touch surfaces throughout the day.
• Set up and break down rooms and spaces for birthday parties, camps, tournaments and events.
• Respond quickly to spills and other cleanup needs during operating hours.
• Use and store cleaning chemicals and equipment safely and correctly, and track supply levels so the manager can reorder.
• Report maintenance problems (leaks, lighting, HVAC, broken fixtures) and any safety hazards to the manager right away.
• Follow the facility’s opening and closing checklists, and secure the building when required.

Qualifications

• Prior janitorial, custodial or facility cleaning experience preferred but not required. We’ll train the right person.
• Reliable, punctual and able to work independently from a checklist.
• Takes pride in details and keeps things looking good without being asked.
• Friendly and respectful with customers, including lots of young players and their families.
• Able to stand and walk for long periods, bend, kneel, and lift up to 40–50 lbs.
• Available for flexible hours, including evenings, weekends and some holidays.
• Knowledge of safe chemical handling is a plus.
• Must be 18 or older and able to pass a background check, since the facility serves youth programs.
