• Assists truck drivers and motor vehicle operators with pickups and deliveries and may operate campus vehicles to deliver mail, packages, equipment, supplies, furniture, and other materials.

• Performs general grounds maintenance, including mowing, trimming, raking, leaf and debris removal, brush clearing, planting, mulching, soil preparation, road and sidewalk maintenance, and general landscape cleanup.

• Removes snow and ice from sidewalks, building entrances, roadways, loading areas, parking lots, and other campus surfaces and applies salt, sand, or other approved deicing materials.

• Operates self-propelled and motorized equipment, including lawn mowers, snowblowers, utility vehicles, small trucks, tractors, forklifts, electric pallet jacks, and light construction or grounds equipment, when properly trained and authorized.

• Moves and arranges furniture, office equipment, records, supplies, partitions, and other materials for office relocations, residence hall operations, meetings, conferences, special events, and campus activities.

• Sets up and removes tables, chairs, podiums, staging, barriers, signs, and related equipment for campus events and activities.

• Assists higher-level maintenance, grounds, custodial, receiving, and trades staff with routine unskilled and semiskilled work, including transporting materials, preparing work areas, erecting ladders, cleaning gutters and drains, removing construction debris, preparing surfaces for painting, digging, loading and unloading materials, and cleaning work areas following completion of work.

• Performs routine building-support tasks, such as changing lamps, unclogging toilets and sinks, reporting damaged equipment or unsafe conditions, and assisting with minor repairs under appropriate supervision.

• Inspects assigned areas and reports building deficiencies, safety hazards, vandalism, damaged property, equipment malfunctions, and other conditions requiring attention.

• Assists with surplus-property activities, including moving, staging, organizing, inventorying, loading, and disposing of furniture and equipment in accordance with College procedures.

• May perform basic office-related duties associated with assigned work, including entering or recording deliveries, filing, photocopying, maintaining inventories, preparing simple reports, and documenting labor, materials, equipment use, and completed work.

• Provides courteous assistance and information to students, employees, visitors, vendors, and delivery personnel.

• May lead or provide direction to student employees, temporary staff, volunteers, or other assigned workers by explaining tasks, distributing supplies and equipment, and demonstrating proper work methods.
