Join the Surety Cleaning Team at the Calgary Zoo
Experienced Cleaning Professionals Wanted
Surety Cleaning is proud to support one of Calgary’s most iconic destinations, and we’re currently hiring experienced cleaning professionals and supervisors to support our operations at the Calgary Zoo.
This is a high-profile, public-facing environment that requires consistency, professionalism, and people who already understand what quality cleaning looks like. We’re looking for team members who bring previous commercial or institutional cleaning experience, take pride in their work, and are comfortable working to established standards from day one.
Why Work with Surety at the Calgary Zoo
Working at the Calgary Zoo means being part of a complex, fast-paced, and highly visible operation. This isn’t a casual or entry-level site. It’s a professional environment where experienced staff are trusted to work independently, make smart decisions, and maintain high standards without constant oversight.
As part of the cleaning and facilities team, your experience contributes directly to:
- A safe, clean, and welcoming experience for thousands of guests
- Supporting Zoo staff, volunteers, and daily operations
- Maintaining consistent standards across a large, dynamic site
- Delivering work that is visible, meaningful, and held to high expectations
- Direct C-Train access
The Zoo offers variety, responsibility, and pride of work. For experienced cleaners and supervisors, it’s rewarding to work in an environment where quality matters and effort is noticed.
Role Overview
Day Porter (Casual with transition to Full-Time during peak seasons)
Day Porters are front-line, guest-facing professionals responsible for maintaining cleanliness and presentation throughout the day. This role requires prior experience in commercial or public-facing cleaning environments and the ability to work independently, respond to issues proactively, and maintain professionalism at all times.
What We’re Looking For:
- Previous commercial, institutional, or facilities cleaning experience
- A strong understanding of cleaning standards, routines, and expectations
- Reliability, professionalism, and pride in quality work
- Ability to work independently and as part of a coordinated team
- Comfort working in a public-facing, high-standard environment
- Willingness to support both routine and non-routine cleaning tasks
- Knowledge of WHMIS and safe work practices
- Physical ability appropriate to the role
- Supervisory or lead-hand experience for leadership positions
Training is provided to align experienced staff with Zoo-specific procedures and Surety Cleaning standards, not to teach basic cleaning fundamentals.
Why Work With Surety Cleaning
At Surety Cleaning, we believe experienced people deserve clear expectations and strong support.
