Job Description

HES is a premier national provider of facilities management services with a dedicated focus on educational institutions. Headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, HES has been serving the educational sector since 1972, earning the trust and confidence of more than 150 education partners across 29 states. The company specializes in delivering exemplary custodial, maintenance, grounds, and landscaping services designed to maintain and enhance school facilities. With 13,000 team members and over 200 million square feet under daily management, HES prides itself on its expert leadership team composed of hands-on executives and facilities experts committed to providing best-in-class programs tailored to the unique needs of educational environments.

The role of General Cleaner at HES is key to maintaining the cleanliness and upkeep of the assigned facilities. This full-time position requires a dedicated individual capable of performing a variety of cleaning tasks to uphold the high standards required in school environments. The work schedule from 8 AM to 4:30 PM ensures the facilities are well-maintained during operational hours, contributing to a safe, healthy, and welcoming environment for students, staff, and visitors alike. General Cleaners at HES contribute significantly to the daily functioning of the schools by performing a mix of cleaning duties such as window and glass cleaning, sweeping, dusting, vacuuming, carpet extraction, floor stripping and waxing, trash removal, and restroom sanitization.

This physically demanding role requires the ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment with significant attention to detail. Candidates must be capable of extensive walking, standing for prolonged periods, and lifting objects up to 50 pounds occasionally. The position also involves working in varying temperature conditions, showcasing the need for flexibility and resilience. Successful candidates must have a reliable means of transportation and pass a background check, emphasizing the company’s commitment to safety and reliability in school settings. While a high school diploma is preferred, prior cleaning experience is essential to thrive in this custodial role.

Overall, this role is not just about cleanliness; it is about creating an environment conducive to learning, where every corner of the facility reflects safety, hygiene, and care. Joining HES means becoming part of a team that values personal accountability, teamwork, and excellence, where your efforts directly support educational success by ensuring the schools are immaculate and well-maintained every day.
