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.
