About the Role

Description

Love starting your day early and finishing by 10am? Good Harvest Market, an independent natural foods grocery with an in-house restaurant and bar (Hop Harvest & Vine), is looking for an experienced, dependable early riser to keep our store, restrooms and grounds clean, safe and welcoming before our customers arrive.

  • Opportunity for additional hours as needs grow

  • Clean and restock restrooms, including deep cleaning and detail work
  • Sweep, mop, and operate and maintain our floor scrubber as needed
  • Keep entrances and floors safe in winter, managing salt, slush and mats
  • Clean glass, doors and high-touch surfaces
  • Empty trash and recycling inside and out
  • Care for outdoor spaces: patio, pavilion, playground and parking areas, including litter pickup and light weeding
  • Handle small touch-ups such as wall painting and dusting of vents and corners

  • Able to lift up to 50 lbs regularly and up to 75 lbs occasionally; comfortable bending, reaching, climbing a ladder and standing for your full shift
