Job Description

Environmental Services Supervisor

Full-Time | $22.00–$26.00 per hour, commensurate with experience
Reports to: Maintenance Director

Symphony Manor, a 117-bed Adult Home in Lancaster, NY, employs an Environmental Services Supervisor as the right hand to the Maintenance Director. This is a hands-on working role, not a purely supervisory one: the Supervisor spends the majority of each day performing maintenance, grounds, and building work directly, while also supervising the housekeeping and laundry teams — keeping the community clean, safe, and running well every day.

Responsibilities

This is a working position: hands-on maintenance, cleaning, and grounds work are performed daily alongside supervisory duties. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Housekeeping & Laundry Supervision

• Directly supervise, schedule, and train housekeeping and laundry staff across all shifts.

• Set cleaning standards and conduct regular inspections of resident rooms, common areas, and back-ofhouse spaces.

• Oversee laundry operations — resident personal laundry, linens, and infection-control handling.

• Manage cleaning and laundry supplies, chemicals, and equipment, including ordering, inventory, and safe storage.

• Maintain infection prevention and control practices across both departments. Maintenance & Building Support

• Complete work orders and repairs — painting, drywall, fixtures, plumbing, and general upkeep.

• Support preventive maintenance schedules and apartment turnovers alongside the Maintenance Director.

• Maintain grounds — landscaping, lawn care, leaf and debris removal, and exterior upkeep.

• Perform snow and ice removal to keep walkways, entrances, and parking areas safe. •

Assist with fire/life safety checks, drills, and documentation as assigned.

• Set up and break down for community events and activities.

• Share on-call coverage for evenings, weekends, and emergencies on a rotating basis.

• Take on other projects and duties as assigned by the Maintenance Director.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of maintenance, housekeeping, or environmental services experience; senior living or healthcare setting preferred.

• Prior lead or supervisory experience — or a proven track record ready for the step up.

• Hands-on skills across painting, basic repairs, and grounds work.

• Knowledge of infection control practices and proper chemical handling.

• Reliability, attention to detail, and a respectful presence around residents — this building is their home.

• Valid driver's license.

Physical Requirements

This position requires standing and walking for extended periods; lifting and carrying up to 50 pounds; bending, kneeling, climbing ladders, and working from heights; operating powered equipment; and working outdoors in all seasons, including snow removal in winter conditions — with or without reasonable accommodation.
