Cleaner in French

Search for agent d'entretien, agent de propreté, agent de nettoyage, technicien de surface, agent de service and, for factories, agent de nettoyage industriel. The job is not regulated and no diploma is required, though the CAP or titre professionnel agent de propreté et d'hygiène is valued. Most jobs are with cleaning contractors under the sector's collective agreement, which usually lets staff move to the new contractor when a client changes provider. Hours are often part-time, early morning or evening. Town halls and hospitals also recruit cleaning staff, sometimes through the public service technical agent route.
