Hood Cleaning Supervisor

Des Moines, IA Full-Time Manufacturing

We are looking for a dependable Hood Cleaning Supervisor for the Des Moines area. In this role, you oversee multiple crews that clean commercial kitchen exhaust systems overnight, managing job schedules, quality, and safety across job sites.

Prior hood cleaning or related trade experience is preferred — HVAC, mechanical, electrical, or general maintenance background is a strong plus. Paid on-the-job training is provided on our specific cleaning process, safety standards, and reporting systems.

Like the crews you oversee, you will be on your feet through the night, climbing ladders, working above cooking equipment, and moving between job sites until early morning. Expect to lift and carry up to 50 pounds and to step in on cleaning tasks directly when a crew needs an extra hand.
