Reviewing quality audit results and following up where needed
Reporting weekly to the Head of Operations, with clear action plans where KPIs need attention

Experience managing teams or sites in commercial cleaning (retail and/or school cleaning experience highly regarded)
Confidence building relationships with clients and stakeholders at all levels
Solid understanding of OHS practices and legislation
Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
Great time management and the ability to juggle multiple priorities
A problem-solver who takes initiative
