We're hiring a Lead Janitor for custodial work across several government buildings in The Dalles, starting August 2nd.

- Help cover shifts when someone calls out
- Keep us in the loop on what's happening at the sites
What we're looking for:

- Someone who can honestly evaluate their own work and other people's, and hold a high standard
- Good communication skills — you'll be our eyes and ears out here
