Job Description

As the Operations Supervisor, you will provide direct leadership and supervision to frontline cleaning teams across event preparation, live events, venue turnovers, and post-event recovery.

You will play a key role in ensuring cleaning services are delivered safely, efficiently, and consistently while maintaining high standards across guest-facing and operational areas. You will work closely with the Event Services Coordinator, Site Director, and venue operations teams to ensure the facility remains clean, safe, and event-ready.

Key Responsibilities

Ensure washrooms, waste stations, public areas, and guest spaces remain clean and presentable throughout events.
Support rapid event turnovers, venue conversions, floor resets, and post-event recovery.
Train, coach, and mentor frontline employees and temporary event staff.
Support onboarding and provide task-specific training to ensure employees understand cleaning and safety expectations.
Monitor attendance, productivity, conduct, and completion of assigned work.
Conduct routine inspections using established checklists and audit tools.
Identify deficiencies, assign corrective actions, and verify completion.
Ensure public, operational, and support areas meet required event-ready standards.
Ensure the proper use, cleaning, storage, and care of equipment, carts, tools, and supplies.
Monitor chemical and consumable inventory and coordinate replenishment as required.
Ensure cleaning products are properly labelled, stored, and handled in accordance with WHMIS requirements.
Oversee waste collection, sorting, recycling, composting, and waste handling procedures.
Promote waste diversion and sustainable cleaning practices.
Complete shift reports, inspections, attendance records, incident documentation, and operational reports.
Participate in event briefings, operations meetings, and post-event debriefs.
Assist with scheduling adjustments and real-time workforce redeployment.
Enforce company, client, venue, and health and safety requirements.
Identify and correct unsafe conditions and report incidents, hazards, and near misses.
Support emergency response procedures and maintain safe working conditions during event transitions.
