The company upholds values of diversity, respect, and personal development, making it an ideal place for individuals seeking long-term career advancement in a nurturing setting.
This particular position is a full-time Custodial Lead role, with a set pay rate of $17.85 per hour. The work schedule is Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm, providing a consistent routine and a balanced work-life structure. Holding a valid Real ID is a mandatory requirement for this role, given the background check and security standards that must be met.
As a Custodial Lead, you will be responsible for performing manual labor related to maintaining public and workspaces, including executive and command areas. This role includes the critical responsibility of overseeing day-to-day custodial operations and leading a team of custodians to ensure that all cleaning and maintenance tasks meet contract specifications for both quality and quantity. Beyond regular cleaning duties, you will mentor newly hired custodians, assist with staff training, and ensure compliance with safety and hygiene standards. Your leadership will facilitate smooth functioning within the custodial team, coordinating closely with supervisors to address any facility issues and equipment needs promptly.
The position also involves specialized duties such as disinfecting restrooms and washable surfaces, descaling toilets and urinals, cleaning carpets and tile floors, managing waste disposal, and maintaining areas like kitchenettes, fitness centers, and health care spaces. Custodial Lead responsibilities extend to outdoor maintenance including policing building exteriors, garages, janitor closets, and snow and ice removal using ice melt as necessary. You will also assist with event setups and emergency cleaning situations, demonstrating versatility and a proactive work ethic.
To succeed in this role, the Custodial Lead must exhibit strong job competencies including leadership skills, attention to detail, the ability to work with limited supervision, and a commitment to safety compliance. Physical demands include standing or walking for long periods, going up and down stairs, lifting up to 50 pounds occasionally, and working under varying environmental conditions. This position is classified as essential personnel, meaning in emergencies, you may be required to remain on-site or report to work to ensure operations continue safely and smoothly.
