DEFINITION

Under direction, oversees and leads staff during an assigned shift and oversees daily operations related to maintaining the cleanliness of assigned facility areas, groups of buildings, and office spaces based on a predetermined schedule; investigates and resolves issues and concerns related to general campus maintenance and security; coordinates custodial services in support of special campus events and activities; and performs related work as assigned.

 

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

This is the coordinator class of the Custodial Series within the Yosemite Community College District (YCCD). Positions in this class oversee custodial employees to ensure that the cleanliness of campus facilities is maintained on a continuous basis. Depending upon the assignment, an incumbent may also assist with routine custodial activities as needed.

This class can be distinguished from the lower-level class of Custodian because that class is the journey level where incumbents perform the full range of custodial duties but do not have regular lead worker responsibilities. Incumbents in this class serve as the first-level coordinator over subordinate staff, with broad responsibility for all custodial operations during an assigned shift.

 

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED

Incumbents in this class work under the direction of a manager, receiving occasional supervision while working toward a definite objective that requires use of a wide range of procedures. 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.
