Duties Description Position Summary:

The Division of Student Life invites applications for our Janitor position. In this role, you will perform cleaning and general janitorial services in Campus Living's residential and institutional facilities.

Your duties will include:

• Cleaning and servicing buildings by sweeping and mopping offices, halls, stairways, and other units
• Waxing and buffing floors
• Gathering and disposing of refuse
• Servicing lavatories and fixtures
• Cleaning lighting fixtures, replacing light bulbs, and washing windows
• Moving furniture and equipment as applicable
• Assisting with sweeping walkways, shoveling snow
• Supervising the work of other staff as applicable; providing day to day assignments
• Responding to requests and the emergency need for janitorial services

In a typical year, Campus Living houses up to 7,500 students at UB. Our skilled trades and custodial staff care for the buildings our students live in. Our priority is the health and safety of our students. Without dedicated cleaners and maintenance staff, the university would not be able to have a residential program.

In the event of an emergency, services related to the health and safety of students, faculty, staff, and guests, and the security and maintenance of facilities are essential and must continue. Employees hired into this position are designated as 'Level 1' meaning they are considered essential and are expected to report to campus so that these services will continue without disruption.
