The Shop Custodian is expected to work safely around mechanics, vehicles, equipment, and ongoing maintenance activities and promptly report unsafe conditions to the Shop Manager.

• Sweep entrances, sidewalks, and areas immediately surrounding shop facilities.
• Help keep outdoor work and storage areas orderly when assigned.
