We are looking for a dedicated and detail-oriented Custodian to join our team and ensure the cleanliness, safety, and overall maintenance of our facilities. The ideal candidate will take pride in creating a clean, welcoming, and safe environment for all employees, visitors, and clients. As a Custodian, you will play a crucial role in maintaining the appearance and functionality of our buildings and grounds, contributing significantly to the overall impression and operational efficiency of our organization.
Your daily tasks will include routine cleaning duties such as sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, dusting, and sanitizing various surfaces and areas. You will also be responsible for emptying trash receptacles, restocking supplies, and ensuring restrooms and common areas are clean and hygienic. Additionally, you will perform minor maintenance tasks, such as changing light bulbs, repairing minor plumbing issues, and reporting any significant maintenance needs to the appropriate personnel.
The successful candidate will demonstrate reliability, punctuality, and a strong work ethic. You must be able to work independently, manage your time effectively, and prioritize tasks to ensure all responsibilities are completed efficiently and thoroughly. Attention to detail is essential, as is the ability to identify and address cleanliness and maintenance issues proactively.
Safety is a top priority in this role, and you will be expected to adhere strictly to all safety protocols and guidelines. You will be responsible for using cleaning chemicals and equipment safely and appropriately, ensuring that all cleaning supplies are stored securely and properly labeled. You will also be expected to maintain a safe working environment by promptly addressing any hazards or unsafe conditions you encounter.
Excellent communication skills are important, as you will interact regularly with staff, management, and occasionally visitors. You must be able to communicate clearly and professionally, providing updates on your work and reporting any issues or concerns promptly. A positive attitude and willingness to assist others when needed will contribute significantly to your success in this role.
Physical stamina and strength are required, as the position involves prolonged periods of standing, walking, bending, lifting, and carrying cleaning equipment and supplies. You must be comfortable performing physically demanding tasks and able to lift and move objects weighing up to 50 pounds.
Previous experience in custodial or janitorial roles is preferred but not required. We are willing to train motivated individuals who demonstrate a strong commitment to cleanliness, safety, and customer service. Familiarity with cleaning equipment, techniques, and chemicals is beneficial, as is basic knowledge of maintenance and repair tasks.
We offer a supportive work environment, competitive compensation, and opportunities for growth and advancement within our organization. If you are passionate about maintaining clean, safe, and welcoming facilities and take pride in your work, we encourage you to apply for this rewarding position.
