Cleaning Foreman (Nieuwdorp)

From a ship’s fuel tanks to factory facilities handling hazardous substances: you ensure everything is clean and safe so others can get back to work. You provide leadership, determine how the job will be carried out, and roll up your sleeves to help out when needed.

What you’ll be doing:

• Discuss cleaning jobs with (new) clients, either by phone or on-site.
• Determine how a special machine, piece of equipment, or tank containing hazardous liquid residues should be cleaned.
• Go over the work with your team to ensure everything proceeds as agreed.
• Visit your colleagues during their work and assist where necessary. If you see additional work that needs to be done, you’ll arrange it immediately with the client.
• Resolve simple technical issues, such as replacing filters or hoses, and maintain contact with suppliers.
• Your workday starts at 7:30 a.m. at our office in Nieuwdorp. In addition, you’ll participate in on-call duty 1–2 times a month.
