• Clean restroom fixtures and maintain adequate supplies of paper towels, toilet paper, and other necessary items.

• Clean and maintain exterior warehouse entrances and surrounding grounds as needed.
• Collect and separate recyclable materials, including plastic, wood, cardboard, and other materials.
• Follow all company sanitation, cleaning, food safety, and safety procedures.
• Properly read and follow labels and instructions for cleaning products and hazardous materials.
• Safely operate assigned custodial and warehouse equipment after appropriate training.
• Maintain a clean, orderly, and safe work environment.
• Previous warehouse or food facility experience is a plus, but we are willing to train the right candidate.
Work Environment
• Work is primarily performed in a warehouse and facility environment.
• Employees may be required to work in refrigerated Cooler and Freezer areas, including exposure to cold temperatures for portions of the workday.
• Proper safety equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) are required. Steel-toed boots are required where applicable.
• Employees may be exposed to warehouse equipment, pallets, cleaning chemicals, and other normal warehouse conditions.
• Standard schedule is Monday–Friday, approximately 40 hours per week; however, evening, night, weekend, and overtime hours may be required depending on branch and business needs.
