What is a 3rd shift cleaner?

A 3rd Shift Cleaner is responsible for maintaining cleanliness in a facility during nighttime hours, typically after regular business operations have ended. Duties often include sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, sanitizing surfaces, emptying trash, and restocking supplies. This role is common in office buildings, hospitals, factories, and other commercial spaces that require cleaning outside of regular hours. It may also involve working with cleaning chemicals and equipment to ensure a safe and hygienic environment.

What are the typical working hours and expectations for a 3rd shift cleaner?

A 3rd Shift Cleaner typically works overnight hours, such as 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., depending on the employer's needs. The primary responsibility is to clean and sanitize facilities while buildings are less occupied, allowing for more thorough maintenance with fewer interruptions. You’ll usually work independently or as part of a small overnight team, ensuring all assigned areas meet cleanliness standards by the start of the day. This schedule is ideal for those who prefer quieter work environments and can reliably work during late-night hours.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the 3rd shift cleaner position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a 3rd Shift Cleaner, you need basic cleaning and maintenance skills, attention to detail, and the physical ability to stand, bend, and lift for extended periods. Familiarity with janitorial equipment such as floor buffers, vacuum cleaners, and common cleaning chemicals is often required, and some locations may prefer OSHA safety certification. Reliability, self-motivation, and good time-management help individuals excel in working independently during overnight shifts. These skills and qualities ensure a clean, safe environment while meeting quality standards without constant supervision.

Job description

Commercial Cleaners amp; 2nd Shift Supervisor – Multiple Schedules Available

Location: Knoxville, TN – KDP Warehouse
Company: Clean Team Company
Facility Type: Large Distribution/Warehouse Facility
Weekday amp; Weekend Opportunities Available

Join the Clean Team Team in Knoxville

Ready for a job where you can stay active, have a consistent schedule, and see the results of your work every day?

Clean Team Company is growing our team at the KDP facility in Knoxville, TN, and we're looking for reliable people to fill several cleaning and leadership positions.

Current Openings amp; Shift Times

2nd Shift Supervisor
5:00 PM – 1:30 AM

2nd Shift Cleaner
2:00 PM – 10:30 PM

Day Shift Cleaner
6:00 AM – 2:30 PM

3rd Shift / Overnight Cleaner
10:00 PM – 6:30 AM

Weekday and weekend schedules are available for all positions.

Whether you're looking for daytime work, an afternoon/evening schedule, overnight hours, weekend work, or a leadership opportunity, we may have a schedule that works for you.

Cleaning experience is welcome, but it is not required for our cleaner positions. We provide paid training and are looking for people who are dependable, motivated, and ready to work.

What to Expect at This Facility

This is not a slow-paced office-cleaning position.

You'll be working inside a large, operating warehouse, which means you'll spend a significant part of your shift moving throughout the building.

The facility can also become warm, especially during hotter weather, so applicants should be comfortable working in an environment where temperatures may vary.

Team members should be prepared to:

  • Walk throughout a large warehouse during the shift
  • Remain on their feet for extended periods
  • Work in warmer warehouse conditions
  • Bend, reach, squat, and stoop while cleaning
  • Move between multiple assigned areas
  • Lift and carry cleaning products, trash, and equipment
  • Complete routine and repetitive cleaning duties
  • Maintain a productive pace throughout the workday
  • Follow established safety procedures

If you like being on the move and prefer an active job over sitting at a desk, this position could be a great match.

What Our Cleaners Do

Our cleaning team plays an important role in keeping the KDP facility clean, organized, safe, and ready for the people working there each day.

Daily duties may include:

  • Sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, and caring for flooring
  • Cleaning and sanitizing restrooms
  • Maintaining employee break areas and common spaces
  • Cleaning offices, entrances, and other assigned areas
  • Collecting trash and recycling
  • Changing trash-can liners
  • Replenishing paper products, soap, and restroom supplies
  • Wiping and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces
  • Cleaning spills and responding to unexpected needs
  • Following assigned cleaning routes
  • Maintaining janitorial closets and equipment
  • Following facility and Clean Team safety procedures
  • Communicating supply or maintenance concerns to leadership
2nd Shift Supervisor – 5:00 PM to 1:30 AM

We're also looking for a strong, dependable 2nd Shift Supervisor who isn't afraid to work alongside the team.

This is a hands-on leadership position. You'll help make sure employees have what they need, assigned areas are completed correctly, and the facility meets our service expectations.

Supervisor responsibilities may include:

  • Directing and supporting second-shift employees
  • Assigning work areas and cleaning responsibilities
  • Checking completed work for quality
  • Coaching and training new team members
  • Helping manage attendance and shift coverage
  • Completing routine facility inspections
  • Communicating needs and concerns to Clean Team management
  • Monitoring cleaning products, supplies, and equipment
  • Responding to service issues during the shift
  • Helping the cleaning team when additional support is needed
  • Holding the team accountable for safety and quality expectations
  • Making sure assigned work is completed before the end of the shift

Previous experience in janitorial services, warehouse operations, supervision, shift leadership, manufacturing, or team leadership is preferred for the supervisor opening.

What We're Looking For

Successful team members don't need to come from one specific industry. What matters most is being reliable, willing to work, and committed to doing the job correctly.

Applicants should be:

  • At least 18 years of age
  • Dependable and punctual
  • Comfortable working inside an active warehouse
  • Able to work in warmer conditions
  • Comfortable walking and standing for most of the shift
  • Capable of bending, reaching, lifting, and completing physical tasks
  • Able to follow safety procedures
  • Able to work independently when needed
  • Focused on completing assigned responsibilities
  • Respectful and professional with teammates and facility employees
  • Able to understand and follow verbal and written directions
  • Detail-oriented
  • Able to maintain reliable transportation to and from work

Prior commercial cleaning experience is not required for cleaner positions. Paid training is provided.

Why Choose Clean Team?

Clean Team has provided professional commercial cleaning and facility services for more than 30 years.

We're looking for people who want more than just another temporary job. We want dependable employees who can become an important part of our local Knoxville operation.

Team members can benefit from:

  • Multiple shift choices
  • Daytime schedules
  • Afternoon and evening schedules
  • Overnight schedules
  • Weekday availability
  • Weekend availability
  • Paid training
  • Consistent year-round work
  • Local management and support
  • Leadership opportunities
  • Opportunities for advancement
  • An active work environment
  • The satisfaction of seeing the results of your work every shift
Experience That Can Transfer Well

You may already have skills that translate well to this role if you've worked in:

  • Commercial cleaning
  • Janitorial services
  • Warehousing
  • Distribution centers
  • Manufacturing
  • Production
  • General labor
  • Hotel housekeeping
  • Retail stocking
  • Building maintenance
  • Hospitality
  • Facility services

Don't have experience in these industries?

That's okay.

For our cleaner positions, we're more interested in your attendance, work ethic, reliability, and willingness to learn.
