DISTINGUlSHING FEATURES OF THE CLASS The incumbent has responsible charge of the custodial and operational work of a large school building. This is a highly important custodial- engineering position involving responsibility for the efficient and economic maintenance of a large school building.

General supervision is received from a higher ranking administrative officer, allowing considerable leeway in planning work programs, in dealing with operating problems and in keeping buildings and equipment up to approved standards of operation.
