About The Position

The King County Facilities Management Division (FMD) is seeking reliable and dynamic individuals to join their Custodial team that is responsible for maintaining the internal and external cleanliness and appearance of King County facilities. The Custodians are part of the Building Operations Section, which is committed to providing high-quality customer service to support and maintain King County facilities and buildings effectively and efficiently. This recruitment will be used to fill multiple full-time Custodial positions, including Career Service and Term-Limited Temporary (TLT) positions. Successful candidates not selected for a current vacant position may be added to an eligibility list for future Career Service, Term-Limited Temporary (TLT), or Special Duty Assignment (SDA) opportunities. This position will work in a secure facility, and it is required that you pass a thorough background check prior to being hired. Reference checks and a pre-employment physical will also be required. Some positions include "float" positions which may require the Custodian to report to a variety of locations. Successful candidates must have an active, valid driver's license and a reliable form of transportation. As the only jurisdiction in the world named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the most influential civil rights leaders in our nation's history, King County is a vibrant international community with residents that represent countries from around the world. It is a region with increasing diversity that cherishes the traditions of many cultures. We have a deep commitment to equity and social justice and advancing practices, strategies, and policies that promote fairness, justice, and opportunity for all – in our workplaces and our communities. With this commitment, King County has adopted a pro-equity agenda to advance regional change and ensure that residents from vulnerable communities are incorporated into our emergency planning and public outreach efforts.
