• Support consistent sanitation execution across shifts while providing supervisory coverage as needed to maintain operational continuity and standards.
• Provide daily leadership, direction, and support to sanitation team members, reinforcing expectations for performance, quality, and safe work practices.
• Lead team communications through pre-shift huddles, bi-weekly meetings, and participation in town halls to align priorities, issues, and corrective actions.
• Support broader site leadership needs as required, including operational coordination and ad hoc site support (e.g., access/door coverage).
• Perform and verify sanitation effectiveness through Post-Op inspections, chemical testing, and equipment/system checks to ensure production readiness.
• Support and monitor sanitation verification programs (e.g., ATP swabbing), including tracking results and ensuring timely corrective actions.

• Act as a key point of contact for monthly interactions with the Chemical Vendor representative.
• Support team capability and operational continuity by training and coaching sanitors, monitoring performance, and ensuring staffing flexibility to maintain sanitation standards and production readiness.
• Read and understand production schedules to align sanitation activities with daily operational requirements.
• Ensure sanitation tasks support on-time start-up and elevate concerns that may impact operations, equipment readiness, or compliance.
