 Job Summary:

As a custodian in an industrial, municipal, or other variety of work environment, your main responsibility is to ensure the cleanliness and maintenance of the facilities.

In addition to cleaning duties, you may also be responsible for minor repairs and maintenance tasks such as changing light bulbs and replacing air filters. You will need to be able to operate cleaning equipment such as vacuum cleaners, floor polishers, and pressure washers, and you may need to use chemicals for cleaning purposes, so familiarity with safety protocols and proper handling procedures is important. You will need to be able to work independently, follow cleaning schedules, and respond to urgent cleaning requests.

Attention to detail and a commitment to maintaining a safe and clean work environment are essential for success in this role.
