Orange Brook Elementary, located in Hollywood, is part of the Broward County Public Schools district and is committed to providing a safe, clean, and welcoming environment conducive to learning and growth for students and staff alike. As a respected educational institution, Orange Brook Elementary prioritizes maintaining high standards in facility upkeep to ensure that the school environment supports educational excellence and community engagement. The school emphasizes safety, cleanliness, and operational efficiency in all its campus facilities to facilitate a productive and healthy atmosphere for all occupants. The Facilities Serviceperson role at Orange Brook Elementary is a crucial part of this commitment, involving responsibilities that ensure the cleanliness and maintenance of school buildings and grounds are consistently upheld.

The Facilities Serviceperson is responsible for performing semi-skilled custodial and maintenance work, which includes heavy cleaning tasks such as mopping, scrubbing, stripping, and refinishing floors, as well as other assigned duties aimed at preserving the orderliness, appearance, and safety of the school environment. The role requires operating various heavy-duty cleaning equipment and labor-saving devices like shampooers, scrubbers, and wet/dry vacuums. This position not only involves cleaning indoor areas such as restrooms, classrooms, offices, cafeterias, and gymnasiums, but also extends to outdoor grounds maintenance, where the serviceperson manages trash disposal and general upkeep of exterior spaces.

The position demands individuals capable of heavy lifting, climbing ladders for maintenance tasks such as replacing light bulbs and air conditioning filters, and carrying out minor repair work on furniture and fixtures. The Facilities Serviceperson will be expected to manage supplies efficiently, communicate maintenance needs promptly to supervisors, and follow all safety protocols vigilantly. In addition to daily custodial tasks, the role includes operating and maintaining cleaning equipment, assisting with unloading and storing supplies, and ensuring compliance with state and federal laws and school district policies.

Working as a Facilities Serviceperson involves collaboration with other school personnel and facilitates a positive working atmosphere through excellent communication skills and professionalism. The role is nonexempt, offers a competitive hourly wage ranging from $15.84 to $27.29 per hour with additional night shift differentials, and is structured within a 261-day work calendar. New hires are generally placed at the minimum salary rate, with opportunities for advancement based on experience and performance.
