Work where the boss is still on the tools.

Builders Clean is owner operated and was started in 2024. We pay above award rates, run our own sites, and answer the phone when crew calls. If you want steady work, real progression, and a foreman who actually knows your name, keep reading.

The deal

What the job actually looks like.

No corporate spin. Three things you can hold us to from week one.

$32 to $38/hr

Above award, paid weekly.

Casual loading from day one, plus super. Into your bank account every Thursday. No invoices, no chasing an ABN through Xero.

Owner run

The owners still walk the sites.

The people who founded Builders Clean in 2024 are on site every week. The person signing your timesheet is the person who owns the business.

6 to 12 mths

Promoted from the crew, not the outside.

Our leading hands and supervisors all started as cleaners with us. If you turn up, do the work, and bring others with you, the next step opens up.

Straight up

A few things we will not pretend about.

01 Early starts, physical work.It is early starts and physical work. If 6:30am is not for you, neither are we.
02 You will travel between sites.Sometimes 50km in a day. Travel time is unpaid.
03 You will get dusty.There is no aircon, no desk, no Friday drinks rooftop.
04 We pay PAYG only.No ABN, no contractor splits, no cash in hand.
05 Tight crews, no drama.Cleaning supervisors run tight crews. If you bring drama, this is not your gig.

  • A driver licence and a reliable car, you will get to multiple sites a day
  • Mon to Fri availability between 6:30am and 3:30pm
  • To be paid PAYG into a bank account, no ABN, no cash

If any of the above is a deal breaker, save us both the read and skip the form.
