    Position Overview

    We are seeking a dedicated, highly skilled, and safety-conscious Floor Care

    Specialist to join our facilities team. In this role, you will be directly responsible for

    the maintenance, restoration, and daily upkeep of our extensive polished concrete

    floors, epoxy-coated surfaces, and diverse hard surface environments. Our facility

    features vast warehouse and distribution spaces with specialized concrete and

    resinous finishes, requiring an expert who understands the nuances of heavy-duty

    floor care, industrial machinery operation, and surface preservation.

    The ideal candidate possesses deep hands-on experience in finished concrete

    polishing, epoxy floor maintenance and care, precise floor striping, and

    comprehensive hard surface upkeep in large-scale commercial or industrial settings.

    we invite you to apply.

    • Polished Concrete Maintenance: Operate industrial grinders, burnishers,

    and automatic scrubbers to maintain, hone, and polish large expanses of

    concrete flooring. Apply appropriate densifiers, sealers, and guards to protect

    epoxy-coated flooring systems. Prevent chemical degradation, manage

    floors, and coordinate minor surface touch-ups or repairs as needed.

    • Floor Striping & Line Marking: Execute precise floor striping, safety zone

    marking, and aisle delineation using industrial-grade floor paints and epoxy

    striping equipment to ensure OSHA compliance and facility organization.

    • Comprehensive Hard Surface Care: Perform routine and restorative

    maintenance on various hard surfaces, including VCT (vinyl composition tile),

    sealed tile, and industrial coatings. Tasks include stripping, scrubbing,

    sealing, buffing, and burnishing.

    • Equipment Operation & Upkeep: Daily operation, inspection, and routine

    maintenance of heavy industrial floor care machinery, including ride-on

    sweepers, walk-behind scrubbers, high-speed burnishers, and scarifiers.

    • Safety & Compliance: Adhere strictly to all safety protocols, wearing

    appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), properly handling industrial

    cleaning chemicals, and ensuring that all walkways and aisles remain hazard-

    free during active maintenance operations.

    • Defect Reporting & Inspection: Regularly inspect warehouse floors for

    cracking, spalling, joint deterioration, coating peeling, or safety hazards,

    reporting major issues to facility management for timely remediation.
