- Facility Care: Perform comprehensive cleaning including sanitizing restrooms, floor maintenance (sweeping, mopping, waxing, stripping), window washing, and graffiti removal.
- Maintenance & Setup: Perform minor facility renovations like painting and pressure washing; replace lightbulbs and ensure all custodial equipment is in proper working order.
- Inventory & Security: Monitor supply levels and order materials as needed; ensure facilities are properly secured after business hours.
