The college is currently seeking dedicated full-time custodians/housekeepers to join its facilities team. This full-time role requires working 40 hours weekly, primarily Monday through Friday from 7 am to 3:30 pm, with occasional shifts on Saturdays and potential overtime as needed. Custodians and housekeepers at Saint Anselm College play a vital role in maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and aesthetic appeal of campus buildings, directly contributing to making the college a welcoming and comfortable place for students, staff, faculty, and visitors. The position demands hands-on involvement in general cleaning duties as well as aiding in the setup of campus events. Custodians are expected to handle heavy equipment such as vacuum cleaners and floor buffers, where the ability to lift between 15 to 30 pounds is essential.
