Dedicated to patient care, safety, and community well-being, OU Health integrates the latest in medical technology and evidence-based practices to offer comprehensive care to diverse patient populations. The organization fosters a collaborative and inclusive work culture focused on continuous improvement, professional development, and employee wellness.
The Housekeeper / EVS Tech I position within OU Health's Environmental Services Department plays a critical role in maintaining cleanliness, sanitation, and infection prevention throughout the healthcare environment. This role is vital in ensuring that patient rooms, clinical areas, restrooms, offices, and public spaces meet high standards of hygiene and safety. Operating primarily on the 2nd shift from 3:30 pm to 11:00 pm, this role supports infection prevention protocols by performing routine cleaning, waste management, basic floor care, and linen distribution.
In this position, individuals are responsible for dusting, sweeping, mopping, disinfecting surfaces, and handling waste including biohazardous materials according to established safety guidelines.

This dynamic position requires the ability to work independently, prioritize tasks effectively, and maintain a professional service-oriented attitude when interacting with patients, staff, and visitors.
OU Health places significant importance on a well-maintained, safe environment and recognizes the essential contribution of Environmental Services staff in achieving this goal. The role provides opportunities to develop skills in infection control, environmental safety standards, and customer service within a healthcare setting. OU Health supports its employees through comprehensive benefits, a supportive work environment, and commitment to employee growth and well-being.
