Support Custodian SO-02 - SCL Residential & Event Services
Cornell University embraces diversity and seeks candidates who will contribute to a climate that supports students, faculty and staff of all identities and backgrounds. We strongly encourage individuals from underrepresented and/or marginalized identities to apply.
Student & Campus Life (SCL) inspires transformation in all Cornell students on their journey of individual, academic and personal evolution. Our division is comprised of leading student affairs experts who support our campus on pressing student life matters including public service, health, wellness, social justice, residential living, food services, sports, recreation, career services, and student activities and organizations including sorority and fraternity life. Our nearly 4,000 staff and student employees who make up SCL embrace the opportunity to represent the division and strive for excellence as we shape the Cornell student experience, one interaction at a time.
Campus Life Enterprise Services (CLES) is the primary revenue-generating unit within Student and Campus Life. As a part of the larger CLES unit, and within Residential and Event Services (RES), the Student Center Facilities Support Team is responsible for the intensive and detailed custodial maintenance, event support and audio-visual (AV) support of Cornell's Student Centers, and other assigned area(s). The Student Centers are active hubs around campus that allow students, and other members of the community, a way to experience Cornell's thriving social scene by providing a great place to meet people, grab a bite to eat, or find a place to study. This team is driven by a passion for attention to details in order to provide an excellent customer experience.
The Support Custodian SO-02 ensures the cleanliness and operational readiness of key public use areas; including lobbies, offices, classrooms, conference rooms, dining halls, restrooms, and other assigned community use facility spaces. Ensuring that our building users, visitors, and customers are able to enjoy clean and well-maintained community spaces is critical to the overall success of our business model, and the Support Custodian plays an essential role in assessing custodial maintenance needs and executing tasks that ensure that our high standards are consistently met.
A successful SO-02 Support Custodian will regularly demonstrate effective interpersonal and customer services skills to effectively and clearly communicate with a variety of building guests and students. Consistently and effectively performing both highly-detailed and labor-intensive custodial support tasks will be indicators of success in the role. The successful support custodian will also demonstrate the ability to be creative and flexible at all times as schedules, shifts, locations, and daily tasks change rapidly to support special events or unforeseen circumstances.
