We are looking for a Senior Housekeeper / Floor Care Lead to join our permanent, on-campus facilities team. If you have deep experience in professional cleaning, specialized knowledge of hard floor maintenance (stripping and waxing), and the leadership skills to help guide a team, this is the perfect stable, long-term role for you.

With a consistent daytime schedule of 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday, you can say goodbye to irregular retail or hotel shifts and enjoy a true work-life balance on a single, steady campus.

Why Work With Us?

  • Great Schedule: Clean, predictable daytime hours with weekends and holidays off.

  • Stable, Year-Round Work: Steady, permanent institutional employment—no seasonal slowdowns.

What You’ll Do

  • Detailed Housekeeping: Perform and oversee high-standard cleaning, sanitizing, and organizing of campus buildings.

  • Floor Care Specialty: Lead and execute floor maintenance projects, specifically the professional stripping, sealing, and waxing of VCT/hard floors.

  • Team Leadership: Assist in organizing daily tasks, training staff on cleaning standards, and ensuring the housekeeping team hits their daily goals.

  • Inventory & Quality Control: Keep track of cleaning supplies, monitor equipment, and maintain a sharp eye for areas that need extra attention.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven Experience: Extensive background in commercial, institutional, or high-end residential housekeeping.

  • Floor Care Expertise: Must have hands-on, practical knowledge of operating floor buffers, stripping old wax, and applying fresh wax coats.

  • Leadership/Management Skills: Prior experience leading, supervising, or training a small cleaning crew is highly preferred.

  • Detail-Oriented Mindset: You don't cut corners; you notice the small things that others pass by.

  • Reliability: Consistent attendance and punctuality for our 7:00 AM start time.

  • Must be able to pass a standard campus background check.
