About the position

The Cleaner position within the Facilities Department at Monroe Community College is a full-time labor role focused on maintaining the cleanliness and upkeep of building interiors, furniture, and fixtures across various facilities such as departments, agencies, hospitals, or schools. This position is essential for ensuring a clean and safe environment for students, staff, and visitors. The Cleaner will follow established routines and procedures to accomplish their tasks, which are performed under the direct supervision of a Custodian or Head Custodian. The role is distinguished from entry-level custodial positions by the lack of responsibility for minor maintenance tasks such as plumbing and carpentry. Employees may be required to work split shifts, depending on departmental needs. Typical work activities include cleaning and washing bathroom facilities, sweeping, wet mopping, and dust mopping hard surface floors, hallways, stairwells, and entrance ways. The Cleaner will also dust, polish, and clean office and school furniture, electrical fixtures, woodwork, stair railings, radiators, and venetian blinds. Additional responsibilities involve washing marks, stains, and fingerprints from various surfaces, vacuuming carpets and upholstered furniture, and emptying waste containers. The Cleaner will also be responsible for filling dispensers with soap and paper products, securing windows and doors, and ensuring that lights are turned off and small appliances are unplugged at the end of the day. The position requires a working knowledge of building cleaning procedures, materials, and equipment, as well as the ability to follow both oral and written instructions. Dependability, conscientiousness, and a physical condition that meets the demands of the job are essential characteristics for success in this role. The Cleaner is expected to adhere to the College Code of Conduct and contribute to an equitable, inclusive, and collaborative environment while committing to professional growth and ongoing training in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
