Job Description

Kellermeyer Bergensons Services (KBS) is the largest privately held provider of facility services in North America, managing and maintaining over 2 billion square feet of space daily. KBS serves industry leaders across a broad range of essential sectors including retail, industrial and logistics, healthcare, education, manufacturing, and many others. The company is committed to delivering clean, efficient, and welcoming environments that support the core operations of their clients. With a dedication to respect, opportunity, and pride in service, KBS fosters a culture where team members are valued and provided with pathways for growth and leadership within a fast-paced and dynamic atmosphere.

The opportunity available is for a Porter to join KBS's Janitorial Services Team. This is an hourly, non-exempt position with a starting pay of $16.90 per hour and shifts available from 10pm to 6am. This role is well-suited for individuals eager to jumpstart their career in facility services and become part of a growing team that offers leadership opportunities.

The Porter plays a critical role in maintaining high standards of cleanliness and customer service at client sites that often experience heavy traffic and high volumes of work. Responsibilities include interacting closely with customers daily, prioritizing work based on immediate customer requirements, and ensuring janitorial duties are fulfilled efficiently and effectively. The Porter must have broad knowledge of cleaning processes and janitorial techniques, and possess excellent customer service skills to support positive client relations throughout each shift.

Moreover, the role requires physical stamina, as Porters will need to lift items up to 49 pounds, stand, walk, and move throughout the facility for extended periods—up to 10 to 12 hours. The ability to communicate clearly and carry out detailed or written instructions is essential, as is the capacity to interpret safety documents and procedures, typically in English, with support for Spanish when legally required. KBS supports the use of mobile technology for timekeeping and training through the KBSPresence app, and provides reimbursement for cellphone use in compliance with local laws.

KBS values diversity and inclusiveness, offering equal employment opportunities without discrimination on any protected grounds and providing reasonable accommodations for those with disabilities. Joining KBS as a Porter means becoming part of a company that not only provides stable employment but also a comprehensive benefits package and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
