Job Description
Whole Foods Market is a renowned grocery store chain that goes beyond the traditional retail experience by nurturing personal growth and creating meaningful change within communities and the planet. Established with a mission to nourish people and the planet, Whole Foods Market is dedicated to enhancing the way people eat by providing access to fresh, healthy, and high-quality food. The company actively supports initiatives such as funding school garden grants, improving food accessibility in underserved areas known as food deserts, and contributing to poverty alleviation efforts in developing countries. These commitments reflect Whole Foods Market's philosophy of being not just a grocery store but a catalyst for positive change and social impact worldwide.
As a leader in the grocery industry, Whole Foods Market sets high standards for excellence by revolutionizing retail practices to prioritize wellness, sustainability, and community engagement. Working at Whole Foods Market means joining a team that is passionate about delivering exceptional service and embodying the company’s core values. Team Members are empowered to make a difference locally and globally while advancing their own career and personal development.
The Maintenance team Member at Whole Foods Market plays a critical role in maintaining a pristine, safe, and welcoming store environment. This entry-level position involves performing general cleaning, minor repairs, landscaping maintenance, and facility upkeep to ensure that every area of the store—from the sales floor and seating arrangements to restrooms and back offices—is clean, safe, and inviting. The Maintenance team Member supports the overall store operations by adhering to established safety regulations, food safety requirements, and the company’s quality standards. This role requires a strong work ethic, a passion for cleanliness, and the ability to work collaboratively with different departments to help uphold the store’s image and community commitment.

Team Members receive comprehensive training to perform their duties efficiently and safely, along with ongoing support to grow within the company. In addition to hands-on responsibilities such as performing cleaning tasks, executing minor repairs, and participating in supply orders, the Maintenance team Member is expected to respond promptly to cleaning emergencies and contribute to special cleaning projects as needed. This role offers flexible scheduling, including nights, weekends, and holidays, and requires physical stamina for lifting, walking, and various movements associated with maintenance work. Successfully completing 90 days of employment may also lead to a wage increase.
The position pays between $17.00 and $25.40 per hour, commensurate with experience, and includes access to Whole Benefits, a comprehensive benefits package offering paid time off, health and wellness support, financial wellness programs, store discounts, and other perks for both full-time and part-time employees.
