    Custodian job description FAQs

    Are Custodians required to work outside of the office?

    Custodian positions are typically for indoor cleaning, but some businesses include limited outdoor maintenance in their work responsibilities. Custodians may be required to clean windows, sidewalks, courtyards, outdoor seating areas, and outdoor break areas, among others. Custodians may also be tasked with basic landscaping and winter cleanup, such as clearing snow and applying road salt to parking lots and walkways. Essentially, Custodians may have to work anywhere on any property owned by their employer, whether indoors or outdoors.

    What makes a good Custodian job description?

    Generally, Custodian job descriptions should be detailed, highlighting specific skills required to perform the necessary duties. The job description should include an overview that provides the general duties and responsibilities of a Custodian and what is expected from the candidates, with a focus on anything outside the realm of cleaning and maintenance that may make this particular Custodian job unique.

    The same is true for the skills section. There should also be a list of work responsibilities that covers all the details of the job, including any required skills that may not be typical of a Custodian position. The description should have a section that covers the education, certification and training requirements of the candidate, especially in specialized positions such as working with biohazards or other hazardous materials.
