  • Monitor supply usage and report needs to the manager to help control costs and maintain inventory.
  • Analyze operational data (e.g., inspection scores, project completion times) to measure performance against standards, identify areas for improvement, and support supervisors with data-driven coaching.
  • Monitor custodial operations to ensure service standards are consistently met; review performance metrics and implement interventions to achieve quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction goals.

What you will Need

  • High School (HS) Diploma or GED equivalent.
  • 2 - 4 years of direct experience in a supervisory or leadership role within a custodial, facilities, or operational setting, with demonstrated responsibility for managing staff performance, training, and scheduling.
  • May require working early morning, evening, or weekend shifts based on site needs.
  • Must maintain an unrestricted driver’s license and possess a clear driving record (in accordance with company insurance policy) to drive the company vehicle.
  • Ability to make effective decisions with a focus on business acumen.
  • Excellent organizational and project management skills to oversee multiple supervisors, schedules, and initiatives simultaneously.
  • Proficient in using standard computer software for supervisory tasks such as email communication, timekeeping approvals, and generating daily reports.

Nice to have

  • Associate Degree in Business Management, Facilities Management, or a related field.
  • Experience managing multiple teams or shifts.
  • OSHA 10-hour certification
  • Strong communication skills and ability to build relationships with internal and external customers.
  • Proven ability to lead, coach, and develop other leaders, utilizing strong communication and interpersonal skills to foster accountability and a positive team culture.
  • Advanced problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, with proficiency in using computer software to analyze data and track performance metrics to identify and resolve operational challenges.
  • In-depth knowledge of custodial operations, including industry best practices, quality assurance standards, and safety/compliance regulations (e.g., OSHA).
  • Strong financial acumen with the ability to manage resources, control costs, and make sound, fiscally responsible recommendations regarding staffing and supplies.
