Janitor/Custodian

CW RESOURCES

Janitor/Custodian

Obtaining and maintaining the appropriate Security Clearance is required to access the primary worksite. Obtaining Securing Clearance can be a lengthy process and will be discussed during the initial interview. Everyone is encouraged to apply! CW staff will help throughout the entire process.

We invite applicants eligible for the AbilityOne Program to Apply! The AbilityOne Program is a federal initiative that offers employment opportunities and services to adults who have disabilities.

A Day in the Life of a Janitor/Custodian at CW Resources:

  • Start your day by checking in with your supervisor and teammates, reviewing the cleaning schedule and tasks for the day.
  • Gather your cleaning supplies, tools, and equipment—from mops and brooms to vacuums and sanitizers—and load up if needed.
  • Once you arrive at your assigned location, you'll jump into action by:
    • Sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming floors to keep spaces spotless and safe
    • Emptying trash bins and replacing liners, recycling responsibly
    • Cleaning restrooms, restocking supplies, and sanitizing surfaces to maintain hygiene standards
  • Next, you'll focus on detailed cleaning tasks like:
    • Dusting furniture, fixtures, and vents
    • Wiping down windows, mirrors, and glass doors
    • Spot-cleaning walls and removing stains or marks
  • As you wrap up your shift, you'll do a final walkthrough to ensure every space is clean, organized, and welcoming.
  • You'll restock cleaning carts, report any maintenance issues, and communicate with your supervisor about any site-specific notes or concerns.
  • At the end of the day, you'll return equipment and supplies to the storage area and prepare for the next day.

What You'll Need to Be Successful:

  • Someone who follows all safety procedures and uses personal protective equipment (PPE) properly.
  • A dependable team player who can follow directions and communicate clearly.
  • A detail-oriented worker who takes pride in a job done right.
  • Someone eager to learn and grow within the role—no experience necessary!

Why You'll Love This Job:

  • You'll be a part of a mission-driven team that values your hard work and helps you grow.
  • Access to an Employee Wellness Coordinator and robust wellness program that support your health and work-life balance.
  • Work indoors in a variety of commercial settings—offices, schools, medical centers, and more.
  • Gain valuable skills and experience with professional cleaning tools and techniques.
  • Opportunities for advancement—grow your career with us!

Physical & Environmental Demands:

  • Frequent standing, walking, bending, kneeling, and reaching throughout your shift to clean and maintain different areas.
  • Repetitive motions such as mopping, sweeping, wiping, and scrubbing surfaces.
  • Ability to lift, carry, push, and pull cleaning equipment and supplies weighing up to 25-30 pounds regularly.
  • Navigating stairs, ramps, or uneven flooring safely while carrying tools or supplies.
  • Work is primarily indoors in commercial buildings with varying temperature and lighting conditions.
  • Exposure to cleaning chemicals, disinfectants, and solvents—training is provided to ensure safe handling, and personal protective equipment (PPE) is always required.
  • Possible exposure to dust, dirt, allergens, and other typical indoor environmental factors.
  • May encounter biohazardous materials or bodily fluids (especially in healthcare or public restrooms) with proper safety protocols and PPE in place.
  • Working in confined or awkward spaces such as under sinks, behind furniture, or inside equipment areas may be required.
  • Noise from vacuum cleaners, floor buffers, and other cleaning machinery may be present; hearing protection provided when necessary.
  • Reasonable accommodations can be provided.
