Janitor and Cleaner in Downtown Seattle: Your Keen Eye for Cleanliness Builds Safer, Prouder Workplaces

Are you the person who notices a smudge on a window from across the room? Do you take genuine pride in transforming a space from cluttered to calm? We are seeking a meticulous and reliable Janitor and Cleaner to become the unseen hero of our vibrant Seattle office building. This isn’t just about sweeping floors; it’s about creating the pristine, healthy environments where businesses thrive and people feel welcome. If you are self-motivated, believe in a job well done, and want consistent hours with a supportive team, your search ends here.

About the Role: More Than Just a Clean

As a Janitor and Cleaner, you will be responsible for the daily upkeep and deep cleaning of our commercial office spaces, common areas, and restrooms. You will follow detailed cleaning schedules and safety protocols to ensure every surface—from high-traffic lobbies to quiet conference rooms—meets our exacting standards. Your work directly impacts the well-being and productivity of hundreds of professionals. We provide all necessary equipment and training; you provide the diligence, integrity, and positive attitude that make the difference between a clean room and a welcoming one.

A Typical Day Involves:

• Executing daily cleaning routines: vacuuming, mopping, dusting, and sanitizing.
• Restocking supplies in restrooms and kitchen areas with a keen eye for inventory.
• Handling waste removal and recycling according to local regulations.
• Performing periodic deep cleaning tasks (e.g., carpet extraction, window washing, high dusting).
• Identifying and reporting maintenance issues, safety hazards, or supply shortages promptly.
• Adhering strictly to all safety guidelines, including proper chemical handling and equipment use.

What We’re Looking For: The Ideal Candidate

We value experience, but a stellar attitude and strong work ethic are non-negotiable. You must be someone who can work independently with minimal supervision, manage your time efficiently across multiple areas, and understand the critical importance of discretion and professionalism when working in occupied spaces.

• Ability to lift 25-50 lbs, bend, stoop, and stand for extended periods.

• Familiarity with basic cleaning chemicals and equipment (buffers, extractors, etc.).
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to following procedures.

Bonus Points If You Have:

• Knowledge of green cleaning products and practices.
• Experience with floor care (stripping, buffing, sealing).
• Bilingual communication skills (e.g., Spanish, Vietnamese).

Comprehensive Benefits & Compensation

We believe in rewarding our team members for their hard work and dedication. This is a full-time, non-exempt position with a predictable schedule (typically evenings or weekends, with some weekday hours).

Salary & Pay:

Estimated Annual Salary Range: $45,000 – $65,000 USD/year, depending on experience, shift differentials, and performance. Pay is issued bi-weekly. Overtime is paid as required by law.

• Paid Time Off: Generous PTO accrual starting on day one, plus paid holidays.
• Life & Disability: Company-provided life insurance and short-term disability.
• Consistent Hours: A stable, full-time schedule you can plan your life around.
• Professional Supplies: All uniforms, tools, and cleaning solutions are provided.
• Team Culture: A supportive, respectful environment where your contribution is seen and valued.
