Responsibilities

• Clean and maintain all public areas: lobbies, hallways, restrooms, pre-function spaces, meeting / banquet / event rooms, corridors, stairwells, elevators, and back-of-house common areas.

• Sweep, mop, vacuum, shampoo carpets, scrub, wax, polish, and spot-clean floors, carpets, tile, marble, and other surfaces. 

• Dust and polish furniture, railings, fixtures, metalwork, glass, windows, signage — including high-touch surfaces — to maintain a polished, guest-ready look. 

• Clean and sanitize restrooms: sinks, toilets, mirrors, floors, dispensers; restock paper goods, soaps, and other supplies; ensure restrooms are maintained, especially during events. 

• Empty trash receptacles and recycling bins regularly; safely transport waste to designated disposal areas; handle trash, bins, and cleaning supplies properly.

• Respond promptly to spills, accidents, or urgent cleanup requests in public or event spaces. 

• Monitor public areas throughout the shift, checking for cleanliness, hazards (wet floors, trash, debris, maintenance issues) and reporting any maintenance or safety concerns immediately to supervision.

• Restock housekeeping closets / supply rooms with necessary cleaning supplies, linens, paper products, and amenities as needed. 

• Maintain cleaning equipment and carts: ensure vacuums, mops, buckets, carts, and other tools are clean, organized and stored properly.

• Follow hotel safety, sanitation, chemical-handling, and lost-and-found policies; use personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling cleaning chemicals.

• Provide friendly, professional guest service when encountering guests in public spaces — help with guest requests or direct them as needed.

• Perform special cleaning projects or deep-cleaning during low-occupancy times or pre-/post-events as assigned (carpet shampooing, deep floor cleaning, set-up/breakdown) especially for banquet / event spaces.

• Collaborate with the Housekeeping / Banquet teams to ensure that public and function spaces meet the resort’s cleanliness and presentation standards at all times.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent preferred. 

• Prior experience in housekeeping, janitorial, custodial, or public-area cleaning — hotel or hospitality experience preferred but not always required.
