• Maintain campus grounds, lawns, landscaping, trees, plantings, sidewalks, driveways, parking areas, and athletic areas, including mowing, trimming, watering/irrigation, litter removal, seasonal cleanup, and other routine grounds work.
• Assist with maintenance of playing fields and athletic facilities, including field preparation, grooming, lining, seeding/loam application, irrigation, and seasonal opening or winterization tasks as assigned.
• Remove snow and ice from roadways, sidewalks, entrances, and other access routes using plows, snow blowers, shovels, ice melt, and sand; respond to winter weather outside the regular schedule when needed.
• Perform custodial and floor-care support as needed, including sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, scrubbing, floor-machine operation, trash removal, restroom cleaning/sanitation, replenishing supplies, and maintaining work and storage areas in an orderly condition.
• Move furniture, equipment, supplies, and materials; assemble furniture and support room changes, campus moves, and deliveries.
• Set up and break down tables, chairs, staging, risers, and other equipment for school programs, meetings, performances, athletics, and special events; provide basic support for event equipment as assigned.

• Follow all school safety practices and procedures, including proper use of personal protective equipment, posting signs/barriers in work areas, safe equipment operation, and compliance with the Pike School Handbook and applicable requirements.
• Maintain positive, cooperative working relationships with faculty, staff, students, families, vendors, and visitors and provide responsive, service-oriented support to the school community.
