Environmental Services Technician - 3rd Shift (Hospital Housekeeping)
Job Description
This role focuses on cleaning and sanitizing hospital rooms and common areas, with a strong emphasis on discharge room turnover between patients. You will work primarily on 3rd shift in a fast-paced hospital environment, performing a wide range of housekeeping and environmental services tasks to support a safe, clean, and sanitary facility for patients, visitors, and staff.
Responsibilities
Clean and sanitize hospital patient rooms, especially after patient discharge, ensuring rooms are ready for the next patient in a timely manner.
Perform detailed cleaning of multiple floors, including wiping down equipment, dusting surfaces, sweeping, mopping, and disinfecting high-touch areas.
Empty trash receptacles and replace liners throughout patient rooms, corridors, and designated areas according to hospital protocols.
Clean up spills promptly and thoroughly, following appropriate safety and infection-control procedures.
Use hospital-issued iPhones to receive daily assignments and work orders, and follow digital instructions for cleaning tasks.
Access and follow cleaning tutorials and procedures via the iPhone when clarification or guidance is needed.
Navigate a large hospital facility and learn the floor plan within a reasonable time to respond efficiently to assigned areas.
Walk extensively throughout the shift, moving between floors and departments while carrying out housekeeping duties.
Adhere to environmental services and infection-control standards required in a hospital facility, including proper sanitizing and disinfecting techniques.
Follow all safety guidelines, including proper lifting techniques when handling supplies or equipment up to 50 pounds.
Work a rotating schedule that includes every other weekend and every other major holiday as assigned.
Maintain reliable attendance in alignment with the established attendance policy.
Collaborate professionally with hospital staff and respond courteously to requests related to environmental services.
Adapt to working in a level 1 trauma center environment, which may involve exposure to situations that can be emotionally or visually challenging.
Demonstrate patience and professionalism during onboarding, including any waiting period for security badges or access credentials.
Why Work Here?
Employees who transition to direct employment with the hospital gain access to highly competitive medical, dental, and vision benefits, along with generous paid time off. The organization emphasizes long-term stability and offers the opportunity to build a career in a respected healthcare environment. You will contribute directly to patient safety and well-being while working with modern tools and technology that support your day-to-day responsibilities.
Work Environment
This position operates on 3rd shift, typically from 11:00 p.m. to 7:30 a.m., Monday through Friday, with a rotating schedule that includes every other weekend and every other major holiday. The hospital is a large facility, requiring extensive walking and time on your feet throughout the shift. The pace is very fast, with frequent room turnovers and a constant flow of assignments delivered through hospital-issued iPhones. As a level 1 trauma center, the environment can be intense, and employees may encounter situations that could be jarring to many individuals. Patience and resilience are important, especially during onboarding, as it may take several weeks to receive a security badge and full access. The role involves regular use of cleaning tools and equipment, adherence to strict safety and infection-control standards, and a professional appearance consistent with hospital housekeeping and environmental services expectations.
