About The Position

The sanitation worker is a member of a cleaning crew whose duties are to clean and sanitize food, beverage, and/or drug processing plants, which are operated by the employer's customers, to meet Quality Control and Bacterial Standards imposed by the customer and applicable governmental agencies, such as the USDA.

The cleaning crew is required to completely clean and sanitize the plant quickly and efficiently during relatively short time periods between the plant's normal production shifts, which typically requires that the sanitation worker work during late evenings/night/early mornings shifts (specific work shift to be determined by the supervisor) and frequent overtime (weekends, days, evenings).

The sanitation worker will also be working around large processing equipment in which chemicals will be used to complete the sanitation process.

The sanitation worker must be able to work as a team along with other members of the crew, under stressful conditions and be flexible and willing to perform varying tasks per the supervisor's instructions and in accordance with all safety guidelines mandated by the employer.
