This is not a job.
It’s a business platform.
Stratus Clean is one of North America’s fastest-growing commercial cleaning franchise systems in the U.S. and Canada. Unlike a traditional cleaning franchise, Master Franchisees do not perform cleaning services themselves.
Instead, you recruit, train and support a network of Unit Franchisees inside your exclusive territory while building commercial relationships with offices, medical facilities, schools, retail centres, industrial sites and other organizations that require dependable cleaning every day.
