Custodian I/Ii

THE POSITION

To perform custodial duties related to the care, maintenance, and cleaning of assigned buildings and facilities; and to perform routine grounds and facility maintenance duties.

Custodian I - This is the entry level class in the Custodian series. Positions in this class typically have little or no directly related work experience. The Custodian I class is distinguished from the II level by the performance of less than the full range of duties assigned to the II level. Incumbents work under immediate supervision while learning job tasks, progressing to general supervision as procedures and processes of assigned area of responsibility are learned.

Custodian II - This is the journey level class in the Custodian series and is distinguished from the I level by the assignment of the full range of duties and complexity of work. Employees at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new, unusual, or unique situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies within the work unit. Positions in this class are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by advancement from the I level.

This class is distinguished from the Custodian Crewleader in that the latter is the advanced journey level class in the series where incumbents perform the most difficult and responsible types of duties assigned to classes within the series, including providing technical and functional supervision over assigned staff.
