Our teams bring dedication, professionalism, and purpose to every site we serve. We are looking for a proven Lead Janitorial Worker who takes pride in their work and wants to grow with us.

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.

Train new and existing staff on cleaning procedures, equipment use, and safety standards.
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.

Requirements:

What We're Looking For

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.

Physical Requirements

Must be able to lift up to 50 lbs., stand and move throughout the entire shift, and operate powered custodial equipment.
