Job Description

Let's be real - hospitals don't sparkle on their own. That's where YOU come in.

We're looking for a confident, hands-on Sr. ES Tech who knows how to make things spotless and keep a team motivated while doing it. If you're part coach, part cleaning pro, and 100% team player, you might just be exactly who we need.

This isn't just about mopping floors and dusting shelves - it's about leading with pride, keeping patients and staff safe, and setting the tone for excellence on every shift.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Be the point person on your shift - giving clear direction and positive energy to your housekeeping crew.
• Train and mentor new team members (you'll help them become rock stars too).
• Make sure cleaning tasks are done right, on time, and up to hospital-grade standards.
• Keep an eye on safety, infection control, and overall cleanliness.
• Roll up your sleeves and jump in when needed - you're not afraid to get your hands a little dirty.
• Communicate with staff, patients, and visitors with a helpful and respectful attitude.
• Know your cleaning gear like a pro: vacuums, floor machines, polishers - you can handle it all.
• Read up on cleaning product labels and safety instructions to use them like a boss.

What You Bring:

• High School Diploma or GED.
• At least 1 year of experience in housekeeping (bonus if it's in a healthcare or institutional setting).
• Confidence using floor machines, vacuums, and other cleaning equipment.
• A strong understanding of how to safely use cleaning products on different surfaces (no scuff marks on your watch!).
• Natural leadership vibes - people listen when you talk and follow your lead.
• Great communication skills (English-speaking and reading abilities required).
• Able to lift and carry 50+ lbs and stay active for a full shift - you've got the stamina!
• If driving is part of the job, you'll need to meet fleet safety requirements.

Bonus Points If You:

• Have previous experience leading a small team or training others.
• Genuinely enjoy coaching people and building a great work environment.
• Take pride in seeing a space go from "ehh" to "AMAZING."

Why You'll Love This Role:

• You're not stuck behind a desk - every day is active, impactful, and full of variety.
• You'll help shape a team that feels more like a family.
• Clean spaces save lives - your work really matters.
• Leadership experience? Check. Career growth? Double check.
