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.

Responsibilities

Lead the crew

Assign areas and tasks at the start of each shift and confirm every zone is covered

Train new team members on our cleaning standards, chemicals, equipment, and safety procedures

Set the pace on the floor by working alongside the crew, not watching from the side

Confirm crew attendance, report callouts and no-shows to the Site Supervisor immediately, and cover open routes when the team is short

Hold the team to the standard and address issues on the spot; escalate repeat problems to management

Own the quality

Walk the building and inspect completed work before the crew leaves; correct anything that misses the standard

Complete the nightly inspection checklist and shift report

Track supply levels and submit orders before you run out

Clean up spills and remove hazards promptly

Follow all chemical handling, PPE, and safety requirements and make sure your crew does too

Represent the company on site

Be the on-site point of contact for client requests and pass them to management

Keep a professional appearance and attitude in front of the client at all times

Secure the building at the end of the shift: lights, doors, alarm, and keys handled per client procedure

Qualifications

High school diploma or equivalent

2+ years of commercial janitorial experience

1+ year leading or training others in any setting (crew lead, shift lead, foreman, military, or similar)

Able to read and complete written inspection reports and communicate clearly with management and clients
