We are looking for a dedicated and detail-oriented Environmental Services Technician to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for maintaining a clean, safe, and sanitary environment in healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, clinics, and long-term care centers. Your work will directly contribute to the health and well-being of patients, staff, and visitors by preventing the spread of infections and ensuring a hygienic setting.
As an Environmental Services Technician, you will perform a variety of cleaning and sanitizing tasks, including disinfecting patient rooms, operating rooms, restrooms, and public areas. You will also be responsible for handling and disposing of medical waste, restocking supplies, and following strict infection control protocols. Attention to detail, time management, and the ability to work independently or as part of a team are essential for success in this position.
This role requires physical stamina, as it involves standing, walking, bending, and lifting for extended periods. You must be comfortable working in a healthcare environment and interacting with patients, visitors, and medical staff in a professional and respectful manner. Training will be provided, but prior experience in environmental services or janitorial work is a plus.
We value individuals who take pride in their work and understand the importance of cleanliness in a medical setting. If you are reliable, hardworking, and committed to making a difference in the lives of others, we encourage you to apply for this vital role in our healthcare team.
