Maintenance/Custodian

Build Something That Actually Matters

At the University of Providence, you're not just maintaining buildings—you're helping create a safe, welcoming, and mission-driven environment where students and community thrive.

Rooted in Catholic values since 1932, our campus is guided by dignity, compassion, excellence, and integrity. Every role here directly supports something bigger: education, opportunity, and community impact in Central Montana.

Why This Job Stands Out

This isn't just another maintenance role. It offers:

• Year-round, steady employment (no seasonal layoffs)
• Variety in your day—no two shifts are the same
• Strong team environment with supportive leadership
• Meaningful work on a campus that impacts lives
• Opportunities to learn new skills (including boiler licensing)

Whether you're working indoors or outdoors, helping prepare campus events, or keeping facilities running smoothly—you'll see the direct impact of your work every day.

What You'll Do

You'll be a key part of the team that keeps campus safe, functional, and beautiful:

• Maintain campus facilities, including light repairs, cleaning, and upkeep
• Set up and support classes, events, and special programs
• Perform grounds work (snow removal, landscaping, lawn care)
• Assist with basic maintenance (lighting, plumbing, HVAC support, etc.)
• Help ensure campus safety with routine inspections and reporting
• Perform custodial duties including cleaning restrooms, offices, and public spaces
• Work with tools, equipment, and campus vehicles
• Collaborate with team members, faculty, and vendors

You'll be trusted to work independently, solve problems, and keep things running.

What You'll Gain

We invest in people who take pride in their work:

• Skill-building opportunities across maintenance, mechanical systems, and facilities operations
• Support to obtain your 3rd Class Boiler License
• Experience in a diverse, hands-on role with real responsibility
• A workplace that values respect, teamwork, and purpose

Benefits That Make a Difference

We know stability and support matter. While specifics may be shared during hiring, employees here benefit from:

• Comprehensive health coverage options
• Retirement savings programs
• Paid time off + holidays
• Education-related perks (unique to working in higher education)
• Work-life balance in a community-focused environment
• A culture grounded in values, respect, and service

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone dependable, hands-on, and service-oriented:

Required:

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Valid Montana driver's license with a good driving record
• Ability to work independently and manage time effectively
• Strong communication and teamwork skills

Preferred Experience:

• General maintenance knowledge: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, landscaping
• Experience using tools and equipment (mowers, trimmers, etc.)
• Comfort working both indoors and outdoors in all seasons

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to lift/move equipment and work in tight or active environments
• Ability to stand, bend, and move throughout shifts

⏰ Work Schedule

• Rotating shifts including day, swing, and graveyard
• Includes weekends and holidays

(We value reliability and teamwork to keep campus running 24/7.)

Why You'll Love Working Here

At the University of Providence, you're part of a mission—not just a workplace.

You'll join a team that:

• Treats each other with respect and integrity
• Takes pride in a job well done
• Supports students, faculty, and each other
• Contributes to something meaningful every single day
