About the Role

KV Office Cleaning welcomes applications from organised, reliable and motivated candidates interested in leading commercial cleaning teams across Sydney. The Team Leader / Site Lead role is suited to people who can coordinate daily cleaning activities, guide team members, maintain service standards and help ensure workplace tasks are completed safely and efficiently.

Team leaders play an important role in connecting cleaning staff, site requirements and operational priorities. The position requires clear communication, practical problem-solving, attention to detail and a responsible approach to workplace safety. Specific duties and experience requirements will depend on the advertised position.

About the Team Leader / Site Lead Role

As a Team Leader or Site Lead, you may coordinate cleaning activities at an assigned commercial workplace or support operations across designated sites. The role involves helping team members understand their duties, organising tasks according to site requirements and monitoring progress throughout the work schedule.

You may also communicate with supervisors, cleaners and relevant workplace representatives to address service concerns, report operational issues and keep assigned activities organised. The exact level of responsibility depends on the site, team size and requirements of the position.

Key Responsibilities

Depending on the assigned role and workplace, responsibilities may include:

• Coordinating cleaning staff and allocating duties according to site requirements.
• Communicating cleaning schedules, priorities and workplace instructions to team members.
• Monitoring completed tasks and checking that agreed cleaning standards are maintained.
• Supporting team members with day-to-day operational questions and task-related issues.

Workplace Safety and Service Standards

Safe work practices and consistent service standards are important parts of site leadership. Team leaders may need to reinforce relevant cleaning procedures, ensure staff understand site instructions and identify issues that could affect safety or the quality of completed work.

Depending on the assignment, this may include checking that cleaning products are handled according to instructions, appropriate protective equipment is used, warning signs are displayed when required and equipment is stored safely. Hazards, spills, damaged equipment and other concerns should be reported through the appropriate workplace process.

Team leaders should also respect building access rules, restricted areas and instructions relating to sensitive equipment or workplace operations. Site-specific procedures and responsibilities will be explained as applicable to the role.

Working Arrangements and Site Responsibilities

The role is intended for Sydney, NSW. Actual work locations, site coverage, travel expectations, roster arrangements and employment conditions must be confirmed in the vacancy details.
