Building Operations Custodial Technician

Are You the Go-To Person Who Keeps Spaces Safe and Spotless?

Imagine starting your shift with a quick walk-through: entrances clear and welcoming, floors gleaming, restrooms fresh, and meeting rooms ready for action. When a work order pings for a minor repair or a carpet shampoo, you’re on it. Snow falls? You’re already spreading anti-skid materials. A delivery arrives? You receive and unload it with care. You take pride in details—and it shows.
