Custodian & Groundskeeper

About the role

Part-time position. Love starting your day early and finishing by 10am? Good Harvest Market, an independent natural foods grocery with an in-house restaurant and bar (Hop Harvest & Vine), is looking for an experienced, dependable early riser to keep our store, restrooms and grounds clean, safe and welcoming before our customers arrive.

Employment is contingent on successful completion of a background check.

• Clean and restock restrooms, including deep cleaning and detail work
• Sweep, mop, and operate and maintain our floor scrubber as needed
• Keep entrances and floors safe in winter, managing salt, slush and mats

• Empty trash and recycling inside and out
• Care for outdoor spaces: patio, pavilion, playground and parking areas, including litter pickup and light weeding

Requirements

• At least 1 year of hands‑on custodial, janitorial or facilities experience
• Experience operating and maintaining a walk‑behind floor scrubber, including regular cleaning, emptying and refilling tanks, and checking squeegees and pads or brushes
• Working knowledge of safe chemical use: reading labels and material safety data sheets (SDS/MSDS), proper dilution, and never mixing products
• Reliable, on‑time and able to work independently with little supervision; you'll often be the first one in the building
• Able to lift up to 50 lbs regularly and up to 75 lbs occasionally; comfortable bending, reaching, climbing a ladder and standing for your full shift
• Dependable transportation for early mornings, including in winter weather

A plus (not required): basic maintenance or handyman skills, such as HVAC filter changes, minor repairs, fixture or lightbulb replacement, or trouble spot painting.
