With more than 700 care sites across the U.S. & from clinics and hospitals to home-based care and virtual care services CommonSpirit is accessible to nearly one out of every four U.S. residents. Our world needs compassion like never before. Our communities need caring and our families need protection. With our combined resources CommonSpirit is committed to building healthy communities advocating for those who are poor and vulnerable and innovating how and where healing can happen both inside our hospitals and out in the community.

As an Environmental Services Specialty Technician, your role will be to provide basic and specialized cleaning services throughout the hospital. Your primary focus will be on the maintenance and cleaning of hard and soft flooring surfaces, including stairwells, hallways, and public spaces, using heavy mechanical equipment such as scrubbers, buffers, polishers, extractors, and wet vacuuming equipment. Moreover, you will play a crucial role in ensuring a safe environment for patients, visitors, and staff members by keeping specialty areas such as surgical services/perioperative suite, cath lab, endoscopy, etc., clean and sanitized. This will help protect everyone from potential illness or injury due to infectious diseases or other hazards.

You’ll succeed in this job if you are thorough and committed to safety. Not only will you perform routine cleaning tasks such as sweeping, mopping, or dusting, you will also use specialized equipment and techniques to further sanitize this facility.

You must learn and adhere to proper disposal techniques for biohazard materials, including bodily fluids or sharp objects. You will learn about and safely use disinfecting chemicals and learn techniques and procedures for cleaning certain specialized rooms or pieces of equipment. You may also refill soap dispensers, paper towel dispensers, tissue holders, and other supplies, as well as deliver clean linens to patient rooms.

You will truly excel in this role if you are friendly and enthusiastic about helping others. You are truly the most important component of safety and comfort for our patients, visitors, and staff. A clean facility with kind staff provides so much comfort and peace of mind to patients, their loved ones, and everyone working here.

If you are committed to social justice, health equity, and prepared to deliver care in new, innovative ways, you belong with us.
