Kohl Children’s Museum of Greater Chicago provides engaging informal learning environments featuring interactive exhibits and programs that encourage young children to become effective learners through self-directed complex play.

We are looking to hire a full-time Custodian for our Operations team. The Custodian will assist in all aspects of operations and maintenance of the Museum.

Duties include:

• Daily cleaning of the Museum and building grounds, with focus on appearance and safety

• Snow removal, salting, garbage removal, and litter pick-up
• Assist with Museum services requests, including but not limited to: room set-up, deliveries, emergency clean-up, and other Museum requests
• Identify supply and equipment needs and assist with order placement, as needed
• Escalate or report any maintenance issues or building concerns to the VP of Operations & Facilities

The ideal candidate must be friendly, reliable and have own transportation to work variable shifts (due to limited hours of local public transportation).  Some experience in a custodial or maintenance role is required; experience with heavy janitorial cleaning equipment a plus, as well as experience plowing snow. Must be able to work variable hours, Sunday through Saturday.  Initially this position will be scheduled for 30 hours per week and full benefits offered, with a change to 37.5 hours anticipated in the near future.
