Maintenance/Custodian

University of Providence - Great Falls, Montana

Build Something That Actually Matters

At the University of Providence, you're not just maintaining buildings-you're helping create a safe, welcoming, and mission-driven environment where students and community thrive.

Rooted in Catholic values since 1932, our campus is guided by dignity, compassion, excellence, and integrity. Every role here directly supports something bigger: education, opportunity, and community impact in Central Montana.

Why This Job Stands Out

This isn't just another maintenance role. It offers:

• Year-round, steady employment (no seasonal layoffs)
• Variety in your day-no two shifts are the same
• Strong team environment with supportive leadership
• Meaningful work on a campus that impacts lives
• Opportunities to learn new skills (including boiler licensing)

Whether you're working indoors or outdoors, helping prepare campus events, or keeping facilities running smoothly-you'll see the direct impact of your work every day.

What You'll Do

You'll be a key part of the team that keeps campus safe, functional, and beautiful:

• Maintain campus facilities, including light repairs, cleaning, and upkeep
• Set up and support classes, events, and special programs
• Perform grounds work (snow removal, landscaping, lawn care)
• Assist with basic maintenance (lighting, plumbing, HVAC support, etc.)
• Help ensure campus safety with routine inspections and reporting
• Perform custodial duties including cleaning restrooms, offices, and public spaces
• Work with tools, equipment, and campus vehicles
• Collaborate with team members, faculty, and vendors

️ You'll be trusted to work independently, solve problems, and keep things running.

What You'll Gain

We invest in people who take pride in their work:

• Skill-building opportunities across maintenance, mechanical systems, and facilities operations
• Support to obtain your 3rd Class Boiler License
• Experience in a diverse, hands-on role with real responsibility
• A workplace that values respect, teamwork, and purpose

Benefits That Make a Difference

• Comprehensive health coverage options
• Retirement savings programs
• Paid time off + holidays
• Education-related perks (unique to working in higher education)
• Work-life balance in a community-focused environment
• A culture grounded in values, respect, and service

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone dependable, hands-on, and service-oriented:

Required:

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Valid Montana driver's license with a good driving record
• Ability to work independently and manage time effectively
• Strong communication and teamwork skills

Preferred Experience:

• General maintenance knowledge: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, landscaping
• Experience using tools and equipment (mowers, trimmers, etc.)
• Comfort working both indoors and outdoors in all seasons

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to lift/move equipment and work in tight or active environments
• Ability to stand, bend, and move throughout shifts

Work Schedule

• Rotating shifts including day, swing, and graveyard
• Includes weekends and holidays

(We value reliability and teamwork to keep campus running 24/7.)

️ Why You'll Love Working Here

At the University of Providence, you're part of a mission-not just a workplace.

You'll join a team that:

• Treats each other with respect and integrity
• Takes pride in a job well done
