What are the responsibilities and job description for the Cleaner position at GC Realty & Development, LLC?

Love keeping things spotless and running smoothly?

CHICAGOLAND CLEANER OPPORTUNITIES!

Do you take pride in a job well done-even if no one sees you do it?

Do you believe clean, safe spaces can make someone's day?

Do you want to join a fast-moving team where your work is essential, valued, and appreciated?

If you're nodding yes, GC Realty & Development wants to meet you.

Why Work With GC Realty?

We manage over 1,500 homes and multi-units across Chicagoland-and we're known for speed, quality, and a team that always shows up. Our Cleaners are the secret weapon behind happy residents, glowing reviews, and great first impressions.

This is a role for someone who's detail-oriented, dependable, and ready to GSD.

What You'll Do

Every day looks a little different-but your mission stays the same: leave each unit cleaner than you found it, and every common area shining like new.

You'll

  • Tackle full turnover cleanings for vacant rental units
  • Clean and disinfect kitchens, bathrooms, floors, appliances, walls, and fixtures
  • Wipe down railings, ledges, windows, and glass until they sparkle
  • Remove cobwebs, scuffs, and soap residue like a pro
  • Sweep stairwells, gangways, and entryways to keep our properties spotless inside and out
  • Vacuum, mop, dust, and detail with precision and care
  • Change lightbulbs, replace smoke detector batteries, and handle light tasks on-site
  • Spot minor issues-like leaks or appliance trouble-and report them ASAP
  • Upload notes/photos, communicate with dispatch, and move to the next assignment

Best part? You work independently, on the go, and make a visible impact every single shift.

What You Bring

  • 1 year of professional cleaning experience (2-5 years preferred)
  • Knowledge of cleaning tools, supplies, and chemicals-and how to use them safely
  • The ability to clean efficiently while keeping high standards
  • Your own vehicle and valid driver's license
  • Comfort working in multiple property types (residential units, common areas, apartments)
  • Ability to lift up to 30 pounds and stay active throughout the day
  • A sharp eye for detail-and a drive to leave things better than you found them
  • A team mindset and a "no excuses, let's solve it" attitude

What You'll Get

  • Hourly Pay: $16-$20/hour, based on experience
  • Monthly Bonus: Performance Based Compensation program paid out monthly
  • Full Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, life, disability
  • Paid Time Off: 10 days your birthday
  • 7 Paid Holidays
  • 401(k) with company plan
  • $150 Weekly Gas stipend
  • Better Book Club: We pay you up to $500/year to read books that help you grow
  • A team that respects the work you do and a manager who's got your back

The GC Realty Experience™

We've been doing property management for over 21 years-and our Cleaners are a cornerstone of that success. This role matters, and we treat it that way.

Our Values Guide Us Daily

  • Own It - Take full responsibility and follow through
  • GSD - (No, really-we Get Stuff Done)
  • Better Results - Don't just clean it-improve it
  • Responsive - Communicate clearly and act quickly
