Job Description

Floor Tech Lead — 3rd Shift

Location: Normal, IL

Compensation: $27/hr + benefits

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Floor Tech Lead to join our facilities services team at a large industrial manufacturing campus in Normal, IL. This is a working lead role: you'll perform hands-on floor restoration and care while directing the day-to-day work of a small team. We're looking for a true subject-matter expert who already knows the trade — someone who can walk onto any floor surface, diagnose the problem, and know exactly how to fix it.

Pay & Schedule

• $27.00/hour
• 3rd shift: 10:00 p.m.–6:30 a.m., Sunday–Thursday
• Weekly pay
• Overtime paid at time-and-a-half over 40 hours/week
• Must be flexible — occasional Saturday/Sunday daytime work is required for projects that need floors to dry undisturbed; a weekday off is provided in exchange

  The pay listed is the hourly rate for this position. A specific offer will vary based on the applicant's experience, skills, abilities, and alignment with market data.

What You'll Do

• Perform and lead all floor-care operations across a large industrial campus, ensuring work meets company quality standards
• Diagnose floor conditions and determine the correct restoration process for polished concrete, sealed concrete, terrazzo, and multiple carpet types
• Execute and oversee strip & wax, scrub & recoat, burnishing, carpet extraction, bonneting, and other advanced restoration methods
• Select and mix chemicals correctly for each floor type; maintain strong working knowledge of restoration chemicals
• Operate and maintain floor-care equipment: auto-scrubbers, burnishers, swing machines, buffers, waxers, polishers, and extractors
• Select the correct pad for each surface and service level to restore shine and finish
• Conduct regular inspections of floor surfaces and proactively correct issues
• Maintain accurate documentation of cleaning activities, chemicals used, and equipment checks
• Direct and coach a small floor-care team on nightly workflow
• Adhere to all site, safety, and PPE requirements

What You Bring

• 5+ years of hands-on floor-care experience in an industrial, commercial, or manufacturing environment (not residential or healthcare-only experience)
• Strong working knowledge of floor-care chemicals, restoration processes, equipment operation, and pad selection across concrete, terrazzo, and carpet surfaces
• Experience working in a lead or working-supervisor capacity
• Ability to work independently and direct a small team
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to high-quality work
• Good physical stamina and ability to lift and move equipment
• Comfortable submitting photos of past floor-care work as part of the application
• High school diploma or equivalent

Working Conditions

• Standing, walking, and bending for extended periods
• Exposure to cleaning chemicals and equipment noise
• Must be able to work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends, as needed

Growth & Benefits

This role offers significant room for growth as our team on-site expands, with a path toward a floor-care management position. We offer a comprehensive benefits package — details provided during the interview process.

We are a military and veteran friendly employer; veterans and candidates with relevant military experience are encouraged to apply (related MOS codes: 92S, 92Y, LS, DC).
