This role requires a dependable professional with a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and the ability to troubleshoot and resolve minor facility issues quickly and safely.

-Clean glass surfaces, whiteboards, and fixtures to ensure a polished, welcoming environment.
-Assist with event setup and breakdown including moving furniture and staging spaces.
-Replenish supplies and maintain cleaning inventory; report any shortages or equipment issues to the supervisor.
-Secure school facilities by locking doors, windows, and checking access points as needed.
-Follow all cleaning safety procedures and chemical handling protocols.
-Conduct basic light maintenance tasks such as replacing light bulbs, changing HVAC filters, unclogging toilets and sinks, and replacing ceiling tiles. This list is not all-inclusive; additional maintenance responsibilities may be assigned based on the needs of the school.
-Assist with seasonal exterior maintenance as needed (e.g., snow removal, leaf cleanup).
-Promptly report any facility issues, safety hazards, or repair needs to the Site Manager/Supervisor or Facilities Director.
-Perform other duties as assigned to support school operations and ensure a clean, safe, and functional environment.
Qualifications:
-High school diploma or equivalent preferred.
-Prior experience (1–4 years) in custodial or janitorial work, ideally in a school, institutional, or similar environment.
-Floor care experience (stripping, waxing, burnishing, carpet extraction, etc.) is strongly preferred, but not required — training will be provided for qualified candidates.
-Familiarity with basic maintenance tasks such as replacing light bulbs, ceiling tiles, unclogging drains, and performing minor HVAC upkeep.
