Industrial Cleaner

You clean production halls, changing rooms, canteens and offices to a written plan for each site. The work covers washing and disinfecting food contact surfaces, machine housings and floors, emptying the waste by fraction, refilling soap and paper, and scrubbing the halls with a ride on machine where the floor allows it. You mix the chemicals to the dose on the card, never by eye, keep the cleaning log for the hygiene inspection and report a broken tap or a burnt out light to the site leader. Two shifts, 06:00-14:00 and 14:00-22:00, with weekends on a rota.
