Environmental Services Operating Room Technician (EVS OR Tech) - Environmental Services - UH Lakewood (7a - 3:30p)
About The Position
About the Role: You’re not just cleaning rooms — you’re setting the stage where life-saving magic happens. As an Operating Room Cleaning Specialist, you’ll be part of the behind-the-scenes dream team that keeps surgical spaces spotless, safe, and ready for action. Your mission: fight germs, battle dust, and make sure every surface shines like new. This isn’t your average cleaning gig — you’ll get specialized training, work with cool equipment, and be trusted with one of the most important jobs in the hospital. If you’re someone who takes pride in their work, loves a good shine, and knows that details matter — we want you! What You’ll Be Doing: Give Operating Rooms and surgical areas the VIP cleaning treatment after each procedure. Use high-powered vacuums, scrubbers, polishers, and other pro-level tools like a boss. Master the art of using the right cleaner on the right surface — no streaks, no damage, just sparkling results. Keep things smelling fresh and clean (yes, we mean really clean). Stick to strict safety, cleanliness, and infection prevention protocols. Team up with Environmental Services, Infection Prevention, and OR pros to learn the ropes and keep your skills sharp. Occasionally step into a leadership role when needed and help keep the team on track.
