Custodian

Position: Custodian

Division: Ransohoff

Department: Manufacturing

Reports To: Shop Supervisor

Classification: Hourly, Non-Exempt

YOU KEEP THE OPERATION RUNNING.

A manufacturing facility doesn''t run on machines alone. It takes people who notice what needs to be done, take ownership, solve problems, and make sure the entire operation is ready to go.

We''re looking for a hands-on, dependable Custodian who takes pride in maintaining a busy industrial facility. This isn''t a sit-behind-a-desk job-and it isn''t simply about emptying trash cans. You''ll be an essential part of keeping our shop clean, safe, organized, functional, and ready for production.

You''ll work throughout the facility, maintain manufacturing and common areas, manage scrap and supplies, assist with facility needs, operate a company truck, help with equipment and material movement, prepare for company events, and supervise utility personnel.

If you''re the person who sees something that needs to be done and takes care of it-without waiting to be asked-we want you on our team.

WHAT YOU''LL OWN

You''ll be responsible for the day-to-day condition and appearance of our facility and will serve as an important resource for our manufacturing operation.

Keep the Facility Running Right

• Take ownership of the cleanliness, organization, and overall appearance of the entire facility.
• Maintain manufacturing areas, lunch areas, restrooms, common areas, and other workspaces.
• Keep entrances, sidewalks, and parking areas free of debris and hazards.
• Maintain scrap containers throughout the plant and ensure they are handled appropriately.
• Monitor cleaning and facility supplies and coordinate replenishment through Purchasing.
• Set up and tear down spaces for meetings, company functions, and special events.

Be the Problem Solver

• Identify facility and work-process issues and determine practical solutions.
• Inspect your work to ensure it meets expectations and company standards.
• Communicate clearly with employees, supervisors, and other departments about work in progress, problems, and completed work.
• Assist other departments with facility and operational needs as required.
• Work within established procedures and the company''s quality management system.
• Take on other responsibilities as needed to keep the operation moving.

Lead & Support

• Supervise and direct utility personnel performing housekeeping and facility-support duties.
• Help establish and maintain expectations for a clean, safe, and organized workplace.
• Serve as a dependable go-to resource for day-to-day facility needs.

Get Hands-On

• Operate the company truck for pickups and tow the company trailer when needed.
• Safely move materials and equipment using appropriate tools and equipment.
• Perform physically demanding work throughout an active manufacturing environment.

WHAT MAKES YOU A FIT?

We''re looking for someone who knows how to work in a real manufacturing environment and isn''t afraid to get their hands dirty.

You should be someone who:

• Takes pride in maintaining a clean, organized, and professional facility.
• Is dependable and follows through on responsibilities.
• Can work independently and prioritize what needs to be done.
• Notices problems before they become bigger problems.
• Uses good judgment and common sense to find solutions.
• Communicates well with coworkers, supervisors, and other departments.
• Understands the pace, expectations, and demands of a manufacturing environment.
• Is comfortable working around machinery, noise, changing temperatures, and the normal activity of a production floor.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• 2-4 years of practical factory or manufacturing experience preferred.
• Basic math skills, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
• Ability to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing.
• Ability to identify problems and determine potential solutions.

Bonus: Forklift operator certification/license preferred.

THIS IS A HANDS-ON JOB

You''ll be on your feet and moving throughout the facility-not sitting behind a desk.

The role requires the ability to:

• Stand for extended periods, including on concrete floors.
• Kneel, squat, stoop, climb, crawl, bend, and maneuver throughout the facility.
• Adjust visual focus as needed to safely perform job duties.
• Lift up to 70 pounds independently.
• Safely handle loads over 70 pounds with assistance from appropriate lifting equipment.

WORK WHERE THE ACTION IS

This is a traditional industrial manufacturing environment, and you''ll experience the conditions that come with it:

• Seasonal temperature changes.
• Loud manufacturing equipment and machinery.
• Various fumes, odors, and other conditions associated with an active shop environment.
• Required use of personal protective equipment and other safety equipment.

Safety isn''t optional. You''ll be expected to follow all applicable safety procedures and use the required equipment and devices for the job.

FLEXIBILITY IS PART OF THE JOB

Manufacturing doesn''t always operate on a 9-to-5 schedule, so flexibility is important.

This position may require:

• Extended overtime, with workweeks potentially reaching 50-60 hours.
• Second- and/or third-shift assignments as needed.
• Schedule flexibility to support manufacturing and facility needs.

MAKE YOUR MARK EVERY DAY

When you do this job well, people notice-even if they don''t always realize why.

The shop is organized. The work areas are ready. Supplies are where they need to be. Scrap is under control. Employees have clean, functional spaces to work. Company events are set up and ready to go. Problems get handled before they become disruptions.

That''s the difference you can make here.

If you''re a hands-on professional who takes ownership, solves problems, and takes pride in keeping an industrial operation running at its best, bring your skills to our team.
