Custodial Workers may assist in training entry level custodians in the use of various cleaning chemicals and how to arrange work schedules that will not interfere with the staff or students.

A challenge facing the Custodial Worker is how to remove an unusual stain on a carpet or how to accomplish cleaning duties when large groups of people occupy the building 24 hours a day.

Decisions made by the incumbent are what cleaning supplies to use for a cleaning job and to rearrange the daily work schedule if the need arises. Decisions referred to a superior are ordering of supplies and the need for repairs in the assigned area.

The incumbent has daily contact with the supervisor to receive duty assignments and daily contact with students/employees to clean the areas they are in.

Custodial Workers are required to use various chemicals to clean and sanitize floors and fixtures. Incumbents occasionally work from ladders to perform cleaning duties or to replace light bulbs. Incumbents work on wet, slippery floors.

Twelve (12) Month. Salary, work and benefits to be established by the Board of Education.
