Job Description

We are looking for a driven, detail-obsessed Lead Aircraft Cleaner to join our growing ground operations team at Akron-Canton Regional Airport. This is not your average cleaning role. As an Aircraft Appearance Specialist, you are an integral part of the aviation maintenance organization — responsible for the cleaning, organizing, and presentation of aircraft interiors and exteriors to an uncompromising standard. You will be the reason passengers step onto a spotless aircraft. You will be the reason operators trust us with their fleet. If that matters to you, keep reading.

What You’ll Do

As a Lead Aircraft Appearance Specialist, you will serve as a key contributor to our ground operations team, upholding the cleanliness and presentation of every aircraft entrusted to our care. Your responsibilities will include:

•    Executing RON (Remain Overnight) cabin reset operations in accordance with airline service standards, including passenger trash removal, full cabin disinfection, vacuuming, and material reset

•    Cleaning and organizing aircraft interiors to a consistent, professional standard — encompassing seating, galley compartments, lavatory modules, overhead storage, tray tables, and all passenger-facing surfaces

•    Coordinating with FBO ground personnel and airline operations teams to ensure all assignments are completed within designated aircraft turnaround windows

•    Conducting cabin inspections to identify damage, discrepancies, or maintenance concerns, and escalating findings through the appropriate channels

•    Modeling professional conduct and work standards in a lead capacity, ensuring shift objectives are met with accuracy, efficiency, and attention to detail

What We’re Looking For

•    A strong work ethic and genuine pride in the quality of your work
•    Prior experience in aircraft cleaning, commercial cleaning, hospitality, or janitorial services — aviation background strongly preferred
•    The ability to perform at a high level in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
•    Physical stamina to stand, bend, kneel, and lift up to 30 lbs throughout a shift
•    Reliable transportation and consistent availability for overnight and early morning shifts
•    Eligibility to obtain a SIDA badge (TSA background check required)
•    Authorization to work in the United States
