DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

Positions in this class oversee custodial employees to ensure that the cleanliness of campus facilities is maintained on a continuous basis.

Incumbents plan and/or determine specific procedures or equipment required to meet assigned objectives and solve nonroutine problems, referring only unusual matters to the supervisor.

Incumbents provide first level oversight for an assigned area or shift, with full scope coordination responsibility over subordinate employees on an ongoing basis.
