Job Overview
We are seeking a reliable and detail-oriented Warehouse Janitor to maintain the cleanliness, safety, and operational readiness of our industrial facility. Unlike a standard office cleaning role, this position requires operating heavy-duty cleaning machinery across a large warehouse floor. The ideal candidate will be a self-starter who understands the importance of keeping walkways clear, floors spotless, and the environment safe for our warehouse team and equipment.

- Floor Care & Heavy Machinery Operation
- Powered Floor Sweeper: Safely operate a ride-on or walk-behind powered sweeper to clear large aisleways of dust, debris, pallet wood, and plastic wrap.
- Industrial Floor Scrubber: Drive and maintain a powered floor scrubbing machine to deep-clean concrete surfaces, remove tire marks, and eliminate spill hazards.
- Equipment Maintenance: Perform basic daily checks on cleaning machinery (emptying tanks, cleaning brushes, checking battery fluid levels or fuel) and report mechanical issues immediately.
- General Warehouse Sanitation
- Debris & Waste Management: Empty warehouse trash cans, recycling bins, and dumpsters throughout the shift. Break down excess cardboard and load materials into the compactor.
- Facility Cleaning: Maintain clean and sanitized restrooms, breakrooms, locker rooms, and office areas. Replenish soap, paper towels, and other essential supplies.
- Spill Response: Quickly and safely clean up chemical or liquid spills according to OSHA standards, utilizing appropriate absorbent materials.
- Safety & Compliance
- Keep pedestrian walkways, emergency exits, and electrical panels clear of all obstructions.
- Strictly follow safety protocols, including wearing proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and setting up "Wet Floor" or hazard signage.
- Safely handle, store, and label industrial cleaning chemicals in compliance with SDS (Safety Data Sheets) guidelines.

- Physical Stamina: Ability to stand, walk, bend, and lift up to 50 lbs consistently throughout an 8-hour shift.
- Environment Adaptability: Comfortable working in a fast-paced warehouse environment with moving forklifts, changing temperatures, and moderate noise levels.
- Reliability: Strong time-management skills and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
- Preferred experience
- Prior experience working in a logistics, manufacturing, or distribution center environment.
- Forklift or specialized heavy equipment certification (a major plus, but not required).
