About Cleaning Excellence

Cleaning Excellence is a growing, family-owned commercial cleaning company servicing medical centres, offices, childcare centres and other commercial facilities.

Our goal is to raise the standard of the cleaning industry by delivering dependable service, maintaining high professional standards and supporting our people to perform at their best.

About the Role

This is not simply a cleaning position. It is a hands-on leadership role for someone ready to take responsibility for the performance of the Central Coast depot.

An excellent cleaner is responsible for their own work. A Depot Manager is responsible for the performance of the entire depot.

You will supervise and support approximately 10–20 cleaners while completing regular commercial cleaning work.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supervising, supporting and guiding team members

• Preparing, checking and adjusting rosters

• Responding to absences and helping arrange shift coverage

• Using FreshOps to manage rosters, timekeeping and site information

• Completing site inspections and following up quality concerns

• Training and onboarding new employees

• Monitoring cleaning standards and team performance

• Managing depot stock, equipment and laundry

• Communicating professionally with clients and team members

• Completing reports and operational records on time

• Identifying problems early and following them through to completion

• Performing approximately 25–30 hours of commercial cleaning each week

The position may include early-morning and evening work to align with client cleaning schedules.

What We’re Looking For

You are someone who enjoys taking ownership, helping others perform well and bringing order to a busy working environment.

You will need:

• At least two years’ cleaning experience, preferably in commercial cleaning

• Experience supervising, coordinating or supporting a team

• Strong organisation and time-management skills

• Confidence using email, tablets and digital systems

• The willingness and ability to learn FreshOps

• Professional written and verbal communication

• The confidence to provide respectful, practical feedback

• The ability to remain calm and make sensible decisions under pressure

• High cleaning and presentation standards

• Strong attention to detail and follow-through

• A valid Australian driver’s licence and reliable vehicle

• The ability to work independently without repeated reminders

Your leadership experience may come from cleaning or another service-based industry. Training in Cleaning Excellence’s systems will be provided, but you must already be comfortable with technology, responsibility and supporting a team.

How to Apply

Please submit your resume with a short introduction telling us:

• Why this opportunity appeals to you

• Your cleaning and leadership experience

• The size of any team you have supervised or coordinated

• Your experience using rostering or workforce-management systems

• An example of a workplace problem you took responsibility for and resolved

If you are ready to move beyond completing your own cleaning work and begin leading the performance of a team, we would like to hear from you.
