You set the pace, assign areas, verify work, and keep the client happy. When a team member is out, you cover the route, and you report issues or low supplies before the client notices. The ideal candidate has janitorial leadership experience and takes personal ownership of how the building looks.

• Train new team members on cleaning standards, chemicals, equipment, and safety procedures.
• Set the pace on the floor by working alongside the crew, not watching from the side.

Job Summary

We're hiring a Janitorial Team Lead to run the nightly crew at one of our commercial accounts. This is a working lead role: you'll clean alongside a team of 2 to 6 people, and you'll also own the results for the whole building.

You set the pace, assign the areas, check the work before anyone clocks out, and keep the client happy. When a team member calls out, you cover the route. When something breaks or a supply runs low, you're the one who reports it before the client notices.

The ideal candidate has janitorial experience, has led people before (formally or informally), and takes personal ownership of how the building looks. If you'd rather be told what to do than decide what gets done, this isn't the job.
