The Lead Janitorial Worker provides on-site operational leadership for assigned contract location(s), ensuring cleaning and environmental services are delivered to contract specifications, OSHA standards, and The Kennedy Collective's quality benchmarks.

- Conduct quality checks and ensure all work meets contract specifications.
- Enforce OSHA safety standards and proper chemical handling protocols.
- Serve as the on-site supervisor when the Site Supervisor is unavailable.
- Maintain supply inventory, complete required logs, and report issues promptly.
- Support snow removal and exterior maintenance as outlined by contract.
- High school diploma or GED.
- 2+ years of commercial janitorial or custodial experience.
- Demonstrated experience directing or training others.
- Knowledge of cleaning products, equipment (buffers, scrubbers, extractors), and chemical safety.
- Floor care expertise (stripping, waxing, buffing, refinishing).
- Valid Driver's License with Real ID — personal vehicle required on-site.
- Ability to pass a background check.
- Reliable, team-oriented, and safety-focused.
Must be able to lift up to 50 lbs., stand and move throughout the entire shift, and operate powered custodial equipment.
