ATTENTION

At Pittsburgh STR Management, our cleaners are our eyes, ears, and nose. You are usually the last person to see the unit before a guest walks in, and your work plays a huge role in the experience we provide. We take pride in the small details and rely on our team to do the same. Please answer all of the screening questions. We're also looking for strong attention to detail and the ability to follow instructions closely. To confirm this, please make the third item in your answer to Question 5 the word "spotless."

Pay:

$20.00 - $23.00 per hour Application Question(s): You arrive at a unit and find a task with minimal instructions. How do you ensure the room is guest-ready and completed correctly? Imagine you have a tight turnover deadline and something unexpected (like a heavy mess) slows you down. What steps do you take? When you're stuck on a task or find a maintenance issue but your manager is unavailable, how do you proceed? You notice a recurring issue at a property that hasn't been addressed yet. What would you do? If you finish your cleaning tasks early, how do you spend the remaining time before the guest arrives?
