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.
