Distinguishing Characteristics:

The extent to which activities and events taking place in specific buildings are conducted smoothly and efficiently is highly dependent on how the buildings look and function. The individual in this position plays a key role in making this happen. The image of the College in the eyes of its various populations (i.e. students, faculty, staff, prospective students, parents, alumni, etc.) is strongly affected by the performance of the individual in this position.

The College's maintenance work force is responsible for both buildings and grounds maintenance. This workforce is generally made up of individuals who each perform a wide variety of duties, and whose work strongly affects a diverse group of users of the facilities. Thus, employees in this area are expected to be multi-skilled, flexible, and able to work cooperatively with each other and with other members of the campus community, often without direct supervision. Reliable and regular attendance is essential because of the nature of the work being performed.

While an individual in this position is a member of the College's maintenance staff, and therefore, reports to a maintenance team leader or the Assistant Vice President for Business Operations, the nature of this position necessitates taking direction from and carrying out requested actions of building users and building management personnel on a regular basis.

An individual in this position must frequently communicate with building users (including those from outside the campus community). Uniforms furnished by the College, must be worn at times determined by his/her supervisor in order that this individual is visible to members of various constituencies.

An individual in this position may often be required to work at times that are other than or in addition to, normal hours and days. This includes evenings and weekends as directed by the supervisor. Buildings must be prepared for operation early, and at times functions held in the evenings and on weekends will require the presence of this individual. Also, as is the case with all maintenance staff members, this individual may be called upon at times to respond to severe weather and other emergency conditions.

Education/Training:

A high school diploma or equivalent is required. Some college course work is preferred.

Experience:

A minimum of one year experience in building cleaning and maintenance is preferred.

Licenses or Certifications:

Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record is required.

Is This a Temporary Position?:

No
