About The Position

Dauphin County Facility Maintenance is accepting applications for a part-time custodian. The custodian performs cleaning and facility-care duties, including cleaning floors and carpeted areas, furniture, bathrooms, windows, walls, and fixtures; disposing of trash and recyclables; disinfecting areas; and replenishing bathroom supplies. The role also involves notifying maintenance workers about needed repairs and operating cleaning equipment. Other duties may be assigned. The position receives occasional instruction and some supervision from a supervisor regarding daily duties and has no supervisory responsibilities. Work is indoors in adequate workspace, lighting, temperature, and ventilation, with average exposure to noise, stress, and disruptions, below-normal exposure to dust and dirt, and daily exposure to cleaning supplies and chemicals. The job requires extended periods of walking, standing, twisting, and bending, with occasional kneeling, stooping, climbing, carrying, pushing, pulling, reaching, and grasping. It involves light work and occasional lifting or carrying of objects weighing 20 to 30 pounds. Applicants must have graduated from high school or an accredited equivalency program and hold a valid Pennsylvania driver's license with a positive driving record. Custodial work experience of 6–12 months is preferred. Candidates must be able to speak and understand English, handle chemicals and cleaning materials, operate cleaning equipment, travel to other County buildings as needed, and pass a criminal background check. A prior conviction does not automatically disqualify an applicant; each situation is reviewed individually. Dauphin County is an equal opportunity employer committed to an inclusive workplace free of discrimination and harassment.
