Cleaning Operations includes services within businesses ranging from sole traders focused on residential cleaning to large operations offering commercial cleaning for industry and business. There are a range of skills and specialities that you can focus on in cleaning operations including specialist sanitisation, stain removal, window cleaning, end-of-lease cleans or steam / carpet / tile cleaning.
Cleaning Operations roles offer flexibility for both full and part-time workers and those who might want to work outside of regular business hours.
Generally these are roles that will keep you on your feet, moving between locations - giving you variety in your daily routine. There are also opportunities to provide general services or specialise in a particular skill set.
There is also choice around running your own business, working for a small organisation or working for a larger organisation.
According to the Australian Industry and Skills Committee, roles in cleaning operations are expected to grow at a moderate pace until 2024, with jobs in residential/home cleaning growing faster than in commercial / business cleaning.
The COVID-19 pandemic may have also increased the demand for commercial cleaners, with more workplaces and public spaces requiring disinfection.
