Whole Foods Market is a pioneering grocery store that is committed to nourishing people and the planet through its high-quality, natural, and organic products. Founded with a vision to transform the way people eat and engage with food, the company has been a leader in promoting sustainable agriculture, supporting local communities, and advocating for environmental stewardship. Whole Foods Market is more than just a retail establishment; it is a catalyst for positive change, funding grants for school gardens, improving access to fresh and healthy foods in underserved areas, and working to alleviate poverty in developing countries. By joining Whole Foods Market, you become part of a community of passionate world-changers dedicated to setting the standards of excellence in the grocery industry.
This role focuses on maintaining the overall cleanliness and safety of the store environment, including the sales floor, seating areas, restrooms, and back offices. The position is vital for ensuring a positive customer and team member experience by adhering to Whole Foods Market's core values, quality standards, and health and safety regulations. As a maintenance team member, you will be responsible for performing duties such as completing daily and weekly cleaning tasks, supporting various store teams with cleaning projects, performing minor repairs and improvements, and participating in supply ordering to support store maintenance. The role also involves responding to emergencies, managing landscaping and parking lot upkeep, and continually cleaning all store departments to maintain a welcoming atmosphere.

Reporting safety hazards immediately and adhering to store, regional, and national leadership directives is also essential. This position provides a great opportunity for entry-level individuals with no prior retail experience to develop a strong work ethic, communication skills, and an understanding of Whole Foods Market culture. The physical demands require lifting up to 50 pounds, standing or walking for the majority of an 8-hour shift, and the ability to handle tools and equipment such as box cutters and electric pallet jacks. This role plays an important part in supporting Whole Foods Market’s mission of excellence and community impact.
The wage range for this position is $17.00 to $25.40 per hour, commensurate with experience. Whole Foods Market offers comprehensive benefits under its "Whole Benefits" program, which includes eligibility for a store discount, paid time off, financial wellness programs, health and wellness support, and other team member perks. This is a unique chance to work for a company that values diversity, equal employment opportunity, and personal growth within an inclusive workplace that fosters meaningful change on a local and global scale.
