About The Position

CCS Facility Services is seeking a detail-oriented Janitor to clean and maintain a cancer research laboratory according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards. Cleanliness, accurate documentation, and strict adherence to written procedures are essential to protecting research integrity and staff health and safety. The role requires greater discipline than standard commercial janitorial work.

The Janitor cleans and disinfects laboratory areas and other facility spaces, follows contamination-control and infection-prevention practices, handles waste appropriately, and completes cleaning documentation in real time. The role also involves maintaining supply inventory, reporting safety or maintenance concerns, following site-specific access and PPE rules, and securing doors and exits at the end of the shift. Training is provided in bloodborne pathogens and biohazard awareness, chemical safety, GMP and contamination control, and PPE and gowning procedures.

This position involves night-shift work in a laboratory environment, potential exposure to cleaning chemicals and biological or hazardous materials, and physical activity including lifting up to 50 pounds and standing, walking, bending, kneeling, reaching, and climbing stairs for extended periods. PPE and training are provided.

Requirements

• Previous janitorial experience is required.
• Ability to follow detailed written and verbal instructions precisely.
• Ability to read, understand, and complete documentation in English.
• Reliable and trustworthy, with the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Willingness to pass a background check and complete required vaccinations or health screenings, as permitted by law and required by the client.
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds, with or without reasonable accommodation.
• Ability to stand, walk, bend, kneel, reach, and climb stairs for extended periods.
• Ability to work night shifts.
• Work involves exposure to cleaning chemicals and a laboratory environment that may involve biological or hazardous materials; PPE and training are provided.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in a laboratory, healthcare, pharmaceutical, or cleanroom environment is strongly preferred.
• Knowledge of GMP principles, contamination control, and infection prevention is a plus.
• Bilingual English/Spanish ability is preferred.

Responsibilities

• Clean and disinfect laboratory areas, cleanrooms when applicable, offices, corridors, lobbies, break rooms, elevators, stairs, and locker rooms according to written SOPs.
• Vacuum, sweep, and mop floors using approved methods and equipment, such as HEPA-filtered vacuums and color-coded mops or cloths, to prevent cross-contamination.
• Clean from the cleanest area to the dirtiest and from top to bottom in accordance with contamination-control protocols.
• Dust and wipe surfaces using approved low-lint materials, remove stains from chairs and upholstered furniture, and clean windows, interior glass, and mirrors.
• Disinfect high-touch surfaces using approved disinfectants and required contact times.
• Clean and sanitize restrooms and restock supplies as needed.
• Prepare, dilute, label, and store cleaning chemicals according to SDS and manufacturer instructions; never mix chemicals and use only facility-approved products.
• Empty and clean trash and recycling containers, transport waste to designated disposal areas, and correctly separate regular waste, recyclables, and regulated waste.
• Immediately report spills, sharps, or suspected biohazards to a supervisor and do not attempt cleanup without required training and authorization.
• Complete cleaning logs and checklists accurately and in real time for each area cleaned and inspected.
• Follow SOPs, GMP requirements, client-specific protocols, gowning, hand-hygiene and PPE requirements, and restricted-area access rules; promptly report deviations.
• Maintain cleaning-supply inventory and request missing materials from supervisors.
• Inspect and report unsafe conditions, equipment problems, and maintenance needs to supervisors.
