Cleaning Operations
This isn’t exclusively a security-management position.
The successful candidate will also supervise cleaning staff and make sure that the company’s required cleanliness and hygiene standards are consistently maintained across the relevant sites.
Applicants should therefore be comfortable managing both security and cleaning operations.
