About UsThe Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center is an independent, non-profit biomedical research organization located in Torrance, California. In dozens of laboratories throughout the campus, researchers are working to unravel the mysteries of heart and kidney disease, cardiac complications in newborns, chronic lung disease, skin cancer, sickle cell disease, disorders of the autoimmune system, and much more. Many of these projects are collaborative in nature, involving experts from different areas of specialization. Our discoveries have prevented blindness in newborns, enabled premature infants with fragile lungs to breathe and allowed children with rare, often fatal diseases to grow up healthy and strong.Required Skills & QualificationsHigh School graduate, GED, or equivalent preferredMinimum 6 months facilities maintenance and customer service experienceBilingual English/Spanish preferredKnowledge of facility and warehouse maintenance procedures and cleaning equipment as well as shipping/receiving, inventory control and general site safety and security proceduresDescription of DutiesPerforms daily site maintenance and facility services including, but not limited to: cleaning and disinfecting lavatories, hallways, classrooms, offices, windows, windowsills, as well as picking up trash as neededCleans and maintains floors by vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, buffing, or waxing according to site maintenance scheduleMakes minor repairs at WIC site as neededMoves light furniture and equipment as directed; maintains organized use of chairs for various activities in classroomsObserves all visitors for appropriate behavior and performs crowd control among WIC Program participants, their children and other visitorsIdentifies and assesses potential safety hazards to WIC staff and participants and quickly cleans spills and repairs equipment and furniture as needed to avold accidentsProvides site security by monitoring parking lot and entrances to the site and discouraging street vendors from blocking access to the siteMonitors and secures exterior doors and windows as well as arming/disarming facility alarm systemReceives, stores and maintains inventory of janitorial supplies from warehousePosition requires a background check and health clearanceEqual Opportunity Employer
