Job Description

This employment opportunity is with a professional cleaning services company dedicated to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene across various facilities. The company prides itself on providing impeccable custodial services that comply with industry standards to ensure safe and sanitary environments for clients and their occupants. Operating mainly in administrative offices, lobbies, restrooms, and common areas, the company assures a productive and pleasant atmosphere through its thorough cleaning processes and highly trained staff. As a part-time position paying $15 per hour, this role offers weekly work totaling about 10 hours, scheduled from Monday to Friday between 1 PM and 3 PM, allowing for a balanced work-life arrangement and consistent income.

The Day Porter role is essential within this company, responsible for custodial duties covering areas approximately 4,500 to 5,000 square feet to be cleaned typically within an hour. This position requires attention to detail and a strong commitment to uphold the company’s standards of cleanliness in all assigned zones, including administrative offices, lounges, bathrooms, elevators, and stairways. The Day Porter will carry out sanitation tasks such as mopping, sweeping, dusting, waste collection, and replenishment of restroom supplies diligently to foster a healthy space. The incumbent must operate safely using appropriate safety measures and equipment, including personal protective equipment and proper signage to maintain hazard-free areas for coworkers and visitors. Furthermore, the role involves physical tasks requiring bending, lifting, pushing, and pulling materials up to determined weight limits, demanding reasonable physical fitness and stamina.

The ideal candidate is expected to maintain professionalism and represent the company’s integrity consistently. Responsibilities extend beyond routine cleaning to include identifying safety risks, reporting issues to the management team, and ensuring that custodial closets and equipment are secure and orderly at all times. Flexibility is also important as the company may require variations in work schedules, encompassing weekends or holidays when necessary. This job invites individuals who prefer active roles involving mobility and interaction across various building sections, and those who value the critical behind-the-scenes contribution custodial team members provide to a thriving workplace environment. Opportunities to develop skills related to infection control, safety protocol adherence, and equipment handling are integral parts of the position’s ongoing training process, fostering career growth within building services. Overall, the Day Porter role offers a valuable entry point into facilities management and janitorial services, delivered through a supportive employer providing competitive wages in a part-time capacity.
