About the Department

Take Pride in the Place Where Students Learn and Communities Connect.

Mohave College is seeking a dependable and service-oriented Custodian to join our team at the Lake Havasu City Campus. This position plays a vital role in creating and maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for students, employees, and visitors. Every day, custodians help ensure our campus is ready to support learning, collaboration, community events, and student success.

We are seeking an individual who takes pride in their work and understands that custodial professionals are often the unsung heroes of a positive campus experience. Through attention to detail, commitment to safety, and dedication to service, this position helps create an environment where students can focus on achieving their goals and employees can effectively serve our community.

The ideal candidate is dependable and understands that custodial staff play a critical role in creating a positive experience for students and visitors. They take pride in maintaining clean, safe, and welcoming facilities and are self-motivated, detail-oriented, and able to work independently while also collaborating effectively with others. Successful candidates demonstrate strong time management skills, a positive attitude, and a commitment to providing excellent service to students, employees, and community members.

This position is ideal for someone who is flexible, reliable, and willing to support campus operations and special events as needed. While previous custodial, janitorial, facilities, or housekeeping experience is preferred, a strong work ethic, commitment to quality work, and willingness to learn are equally important.

At Mohave College, we value employees who take ownership of their work, respond proactively to facility needs, and contribute to a campus environment that is welcoming, safe, and supportive for everyone who walks through our doors. If you enjoy meaningful work that makes a visible difference every day, we encourage you to apply and become part of the Lake Havasu City Campus team.
