About the Company

EcoShine Commercial Cleaning Services is a growing Australian cleaning company delivering high-quality commercial cleaning solutions across Melbourne and Victoria. With a diverse portfolio of client sites and a team built on reliability and pride in their work, EcoShine is expanding — and they're looking for the right person to help lead that growth.

This is a business that genuinely values its people and invests in those who show up and deliver. If you're ready to take the next step in your career with a company that's going places, this could be the role for you.

About the Role

This is a field-based Area Manager position where you'll take ownership of a portfolio of commercial cleaning sites across Melbourne. You'll lead cleaning teams, maintain client relationships, uphold service standards, and keep the day-to-day running smoothly.

It's a hands-on role that suits someone who thrives in the field — not behind a desk. You'll be the person clients trust and the person your team turns to. If you're organised, proactive, a natural communicator, and you know your way around commercial cleaning operations, we'd love to hear from you.

  • A background managing cleaning teams and/or supervisors
  • Strong communication skills — with both clients and frontline staff
  • The ability to manage competing priorities and solve problems on the go
  • A proactive, self-sufficient work style — you don't need to be micromanaged

  • Mobile/field-based role across Victoria
  • Supportive and approachable management team
  • Variety of commercial client sites — no two days the same
