SGA operate Nation-wide, protecting the Australian food supply chain from bacterial contamination. We are Australia’s highest certified industrial hygienists and as such our hygiene expertise and services have been highly sort after over the last 24 months. We have been trusted by the DHHS as the go-to for coronavirus outbreaks in food facilities and we are making a real impact as a company for local communities and businesses. SGA’s front-line work offers a sense of pride, fulfillment and meaning for both the company and its employees.

The work is important – protecting Australia’s food supply chain, ensuring some of our most notable Australian businesses protect their brand and continue to produce great food for people to enjoy. Whilst cleaning isn’t glamorous per se, our employees have the benefit of flexibility around working hours, shifts and sites. We operate all around Australia and in particular, up the eastern seaboard. This means if you want to relocate to the sunny State of Queensland, we can help you transition into work at one of our local sites.

The perks of being an Area Manager includes competitive pay, the potential for a company car – a nice Toyota Hilux SR and very flexible working arrangements. At SGA we don’t mind the hours you work if the job gets done to a level that yourself and the company can be proud of. Area managers are the most flexible, but also need to have the capacity to contribute and lead whenever they might be needed. If you are a strong communicator and an enjoy interacting with people, you’ll thoroughly enjoy a management position at SGA.

How Is SGA’s Company Culture?

Since coming under new management in late 2017 the company has retained our loyal customers and great staff but revamped all systems. The overhaul has seen a great change in the working culture at SGA, a dynamic management structure empowers employees and improves organizational agility.

At the rate SGA is growing we often look to develop people for new opportunities and promotions to managerial positions. In our twenty years of business, we have seen various cleaners rise the ranks to become Site Managers and Area Managers. In an industry known for high employee turnover, we invest in our employees, make them feel part of the team and offer them great growth opportunities and perhaps most importantly, we respect them as people, and in turn they respect us. Hence, why we have so many long tenured employees and our turnover is low.

Our focus on people means SGA is a workplace that is dedicated, committed, and focused on our team first. This includes offering wellness perks, training and education, rewards, and appreciation. We believe in communication and practice effective communicating on Slack – an powerful application that houses our internal communications. Additionally, we are always looking to make life as easy as possible for our employees, underpinned by our intuitive rostering and time in attendance software.
