About The Position

The Facilities Maintenance Worker I is an entry-level, non-exempt position in the Support Services Department. The role performs basic custodial, building maintenance, and facility support tasks to help keep District buildings and facilities safe, clean, and functional, while developing foundational skills in multiple building trades and learning District standards, procedures, and safety practices.

Work is routine and involves less independence, complexity, and technical judgment than the Facilities Maintenance Worker II classification.
