Floor Care Specialist (Floor Crew)

About NW Quality Cleaning

NW Quality Cleaning Co. LLC provides commercial janitorial and autonomous floor care from Roseburg, Oregon, serving healthcare, retail, industrial, hospitality, aviation, and other large facilities across the Pacific Northwest. Our robots scrub mapped hard floors after close; our people own restrooms, high-touch disinfection, trash, and the detail work machines should not guess at. Supervisors inspect. Safety and quality are processes, not posters. Learn more at www.nwqualitycleaning.com.

Position Summary

The Floor Care Specialist (Floor Crew) performs specialized hard-floor and carpet care in commercial facilities. You will operate professional floor equipment (auto-scrubbers, buffers, burnishers, extractors), restore and maintain VCT, vinyl, tile, concrete, and other commercial surfaces, and support NWQC’s hybrid model—working alongside mapped autonomous floor robots by handling edge work, restorative projects, stairwells, and areas robots do not cover. Shifts are commonly after-hours so client spaces are ready for open.

Essential Duties

• Perform hard-floor care including sweeping, mopping, scrubbing, stripping, sealing, waxing, buffing, burnishing, polishing, and refinishing on VCT, sheet vinyl, ceramic tile, concrete, and other commercial flooring
• Complete carpet care including vacuuming, spotting, extraction, and deep cleaning using approved methods and equipment
• Safely operate commercial floor equipment: auto-scrubbers, high-speed buffers, burnishers, carpet extractors, wet vacuums, and related machines
• Mix, dilute, and apply floor finishes, strippers, and cleaning chemicals per manufacturer SDS and NWQC procedures
• Post wet-floor signs and set safety barriers before and during work; leave areas safe for occupants and other trades
• Perform edge work, baseboards/cove base, stairwells, elevators, and other areas outside mapped robot routes
• Support or coordinate with autonomous floor-care programs (e.g., clearing obstacles, noting route issues, completing restorative work robots cannot perform)
• Inspect floors before and after service; complete floor-care logs, checklists, and quality documentation
• Clean and perform routine maintenance on floor equipment; report malfunctions promptly
• Transport equipment and supplies; monitor chemical and pad inventory and report needs
• Report facility hazards, damage, or repair needs to the supervisor
• Follow all OSHA, chemical-safety, infection-prevention (as applicable), and client site rules, including PPE
• Communicate professionally with supervisors, teammates, and client contacts; complete assigned specialty projects
• Perform other related duties as assigned
