Job Description

Wood is a global leader in engineering and consultancy, specializing in energy and the built environment. With operations in over 60 countries and a workforce of approximately 40,000 employees, Wood delivers comprehensive consulting, project management, and operational solutions to some of the most critical challenges facing industries worldwide. The company is committed to innovation, safety, and sustainability, supporting clients across diverse sectors to achieve their goals while maintaining high standards of quality and environmental responsibility. Wood's global presence and diverse portfolio make it a dynamic and influential employer in the engineering and consulting fields.

This position is for an experienced Janitor within Wood, particularly focused on the oil and gas petrochemical industry—a sector known for its complex industrial environments and stringent safety requirements. The janitor role involves performing a wide variety of cleaning and maintenance tasks across office spaces, coffee rooms, entrances, lunchrooms, restrooms, and industrial plant site areas. Attention to detail, adherence to safety regulations, and proficiency in handling cleaning chemicals and equipment are essential for success in this role.

The Janitor will be responsible for maintaining cleanliness and orderliness in all assigned areas by effectively executing tasks such as vacuuming, mopping, dusting, stripping, waxing, and buffing floors. The role is crucial in upholding the overall hygiene and safety standards within a chemical plant environment, which entails working near moving machinery, dealing with potential chemical exposure, and operating in noisy conditions. A thorough understanding and application of safe conduct rules, proper use of protective equipment, and chemical handling procedures are mandatory.

Candidates must demonstrate the ability to interpret work orders, follow safety guidelines, and manage time efficiently while coordinating with other team members. Physical fitness is also important as the job demands activities such as climbing, bending, lifting, pushing, pulling, and working in elevated positions. The role requires manual dexterity, good hand-eye coordination, and the ability to work effectively in varying environmental conditions.

Wood emphasizes diversity and inclusion, welcoming applicants from all backgrounds and offering equal opportunities based on merit. This job is classified as OTHER employment type, with no sponsorship provided for work authorization. Prospective employees must have the legal right to work in the United States. The company provides thorough training tailored to the chemical plant setting to ensure employees are equipped to meet the specific challenges of the job.

If you have a minimum of one year of experience in commercial cleaning within industrial environments and possess strong communication, coordination, and time management skills, this janitorial role at Wood offers a rewarding opportunity to contribute to a leading company recognized for its engineering excellence and commitment to safety.
