The County Custodian position is responsible for a wide range of maintenance and cleaning tasks. Core duties include routine cleaning of high-traffic areas, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, and polishing floors in offices, hallways, and public spaces. A key responsibility involves the thorough cleaning and sanitization of restrooms, including sinks, toilets, and fixtures, alongside replenishing necessary supplies such as soap and paper products.
Beyond standard cleaning, the role requires attention to minor facility maintenance.

They are also responsible for the setup and breakdown of rooms for official meetings and county events.
Applicants should be reliable, able to work independently, and willing to follow established safety protocols, especially concerning the proper handling of cleaning chemicals.
