We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Commercial Cleaning Supervisor to serve as a key leader in our field operations. This is not a desk job — the right person thrives in a dynamic, physical work environment, takes ownership of quality, and communicates effectively with both our cleaning teams and our clients.
This role is a working supervisor position. You will spend your time in the field completing cleaning assignments alongside our technicians, leading quality inspections, operating specialty cleaning equipment, and serving as the primary point of contact between management, employees, and clients.
If you are a self-starter with a strong commercial cleaning background, natural leadership ability, and the flexibility to work a schedule that serves our clients — we want to hear from you.

Quality Inspections & Training (40%)
QA walkthroughs for new and recurring clients, photo documentation, inspection reports, technician coaching, client feedback and issue resolution
Individual Cleaning Assignments (approximately 30%)
High dusting, vacant/move-out office cleaning, and similar standalone tasks completed independently
Specialty Cleaning Projects (approximately 20% )
Operating floor scrubbers, carpet extractors, and large cleaning equipment; coordinating helpers on project days. Training provided.
New Account Installation (approximately 10% )
Prepare and deliver cleaning kits, communicate internally to ensure readiness and circle back post servicing account

Schedule & Work Expectations
This role requires flexibility. Our clients are serviced across daytime and evening windows, and the schedule shifts accordingly. You will not work a standard 9-to-5.

- Most client locations are within a 45-minute drive of the Charlotte metro area; a small number of accounts are located further north in Concord, China Grove, and Mooresville
A gas stipend of one full tank of gas per week is provided to offset field driving if personal vehicle is used.
