We are looking to hire an energetic floor tech to keep our community’s floors clean. The floor tech will be responsible for the maintenance of all floor areas, and for sustaining high standards of cleanliness and sanitation. You will remove spots from carpets, perform bonnet and extraction carpet cleaning, dispose of trash. You will operate floor sweepers, back pack vacuum cleaners, and shop vacuums.

To be successful in this role you will protect residents and visitors by keeping floors free from dirt and debris, and by being mindful of slip, trip, and fall hazards. Preferred candidates are motivated, meticulous, and able to work with numerous interruptions.

Job Summary

A Floor Technician in an independent living, assisted living, or memory care facility is responsible for maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and aesthetic appeal of all flooring surfaces, including carpet, vinyl, tile, and hardwood.

• Daily cleaning and polishing of high-traffic areas, including hallways, dining rooms, lobbies, and elevators.
• Perform deep cleaning projects, including scrubbing baseboards, cleaning exterior entrances, and moving furniture for full-room floor treatments.
• Remove trash and bio-hazard waste, transporting it to designated disposal areas.
• Perform all other duties as assigned.

Requirements and Qualifications

• Previous experience operating commercial floor care equipment (auto scrubbers, buffers, burnishers, extractors) required.
• Janitorial or facilities maintenance experience in healthcare, senior living, or hotel environment strongly preferred. Prior experience in floor care, janitorial, or housekeeping services is typically preferred.

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
