ABM is a leading global provider of facility services and solutions, dedicated to creating cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable environments in various public and private spaces. With over a century of experience since its founding in 1909, ABM has grown to serve more than 20,000 clients worldwide, employing over 100,000 team members across 350 offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, and other international locations. The company's extensive portfolio includes janitorial, engineering, parking, electrical and lighting, energy and electric vehicle charging infrastructure, HVAC and mechanical, landscape and turf, as well as mission critical solutions. ABM serves a diverse range of industries such as commercial office buildings, universities, airports, hospitals, data centers, manufacturing plants, distribution centers, entertainment venues, and more.

At ABM, we are currently seeking a reliable and experienced School Custodian to join our team in a K-12 school, college, or university campus environment. This role is an excellent opportunity for individuals entering or returning to the workforce, as it requires limited prior experience and education with on-the-job training provided. The School Custodian will be responsible for performing general cleaning duties in designated areas, ensuring that facilities remain safe, clean, and welcoming for students, staff, and visitors alike.

The primary responsibilities of the School Custodian will include cleaning and maintaining classrooms, hallways, restrooms, locker rooms, offices, stairways, and other assigned areas. This includes sweeping, mopping, removing debris, cleaning spills, dusting furniture and fixtures, polishing hard surfaces, and emptying trash receptacles regularly. The custodian will also be expected to follow company protocols for the use of chemical cleaners and equipment to prevent damage to floors and fixtures. Additionally, the School Custodian will notify management of any repair needs or maintenance issues and help maintain recycling efforts by properly sorting materials.

Seasonal and incidental duties such as sweeping walkways, raking leaves, cutting grass, and removing snow may also be part of this role, supporting the upkeep of exterior spaces. Complying with all safety, security, compliance, and quality standards set by ABM, client institutions, and regulatory authorities is essential to the role.

At ABM, we value diversity and are a proud equal opportunity employer, welcoming applicants regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status. We are committed to supporting veterans and candidates with military experience, encouraging them to apply and utilize their skills through our world-class training programs and career advancement opportunities. ABM is also fully compliant with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify program, ensuring legal employment eligibility.

Joining ABM as a School Custodian means becoming part of a large, respected company that invests in its employees through comprehensive benefits and continuous training while contributing to the health and safety of educational environments. This position offers a stable and rewarding career path in facility services with the support of a global leader dedicated to sustainability and operational excellence.
