General Statement:

This is manual work calling for the efficient performance of building cleaning, grounds keeping and snow removal tasks. The incumbent performs routine building cleaning and outside ground maintenance tasks. Cleaning tasks are performed according to a well-established procedure and involve some heavy work requiring physical strength and ability. This position is distinguished from that of a Cleaner by the heavier nature of the work performed and because of involvement in outside grounds maintenance activities. The work is performed under the supervision of a higher level custodial employee. Supervision over the work of others is not a responsibility of employees in this class. The difference between Custodial Worker and Custodial Worker II is that the Custodial Worker I performs lighter type work.
