Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-B-Q – San Antonio, Texas


Position Summary


Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-B-Q is looking for a dependable, hardworking Facilities & Equipment Cleaning Technician to help us maintain the high standards of cleanliness we expect in our restaurants.


This is a hands-on, physical job with a primary focus on deep cleaning the equipment and areas used in our Bar-B-Q production operations. This is not a desk job and it is not light housekeeping. The work can be dirty, greasy, wet, and physically demanding, and we are looking for someone who takes pride in seeing a tough cleaning job through from start to finish.


The position will rotate among our four Rudy’s locations throughout the San Antonio area, so reliable transportation is required.


We will provide the tools, equipment, supplies, and training needed to perform the job safely and correctly.


Primary Responsibilities


The Facilities & Equipment Cleaning Technician will be responsible for duties including:

• Deep cleaning Bar-B-Q and production equipment
• Removing grease, buildup, dirt, and debris from equipment and work areas
• Pressure washing equipment, floors, exterior areas, and other designated surfaces
• Scrubbing and rinsing floors, walls, equipment, and production areas
• Cleaning floor drains and assisting with routine drain maintenance
• Cleaning and maintaining restrooms
• Performing general janitorial and cleaning duties throughout the restaurants
• Painting and completing minor touch-up work as needed
• Performing light maintenance and basic facility repairs within the employee’s training and ability
• Cleaning hard-to-reach areas and areas that require more intensive cleaning than normal daily restaurant cleaning
• Properly using cleaning chemicals, pressure washers, hand tools, and other provided equipment
• Following Rudy’s safety procedures and equipment-cleaning standards
• Keeping tools, supplies, and work areas organized
• Identifying maintenance or equipment concerns and reporting them to management
• Traveling between Rudy’s San Antonio-area locations based on the assigned cleaning schedule

You should expect to:

• Work around grease, smoke residue, food buildup, water, and cleaning chemicals
• Get dirty while performing the job
• Spend extended periods standing, bending, kneeling, reaching, scrubbing, and moving
• Work with water and around wet surfaces
• Move cleaning equipment, hoses, tools, and supplies
• Work independently for portions of the shift
• Complete detailed cleaning projects that may take significant effort
• Work in both indoor and outdoor areas
• Move from one Rudy’s location to another depending on the day's assignment

The right person will enjoy being able to look at an area or piece of equipment when the job is finished and know, “I made that better.”

• Push and pull cleaning equipment and hoses

When you leave an area, it should be noticeably cleaner and better than when you arrived.


At Rudy’s, cleanliness is part of the guest experience and part of taking care of our team. Our pits, production equipment, kitchens, restrooms, floors, drains, and facilities represent our business every day.


We are looking for someone who understands that there is pride in doing the jobs that other people may not want to do—and doing them extremely well.
