Apply for Facilities Technician / Custodian

Opus 1 Music Studio is a top-rated music school with close to 10,000 sq/ft of music studio space and over 1,400 weekly students. Located in the Silicon Valley cities of Palo Alto and Mountain View, we offer private and group music lessons for piano, violin, viola, cello, voice, ukulele, and guitar.

Opus 1 Music Studio is a growing music school serving hundreds of families across three locations (about 10,000 sq ft total). We're hiring one dependable person to own the cleanliness and day-to-day upkeep of our sites — replacing an outside janitorial service with someone who takes real pride in the spaces our students learn in.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Clean one location per day on a rotating route: classrooms, lobbies, restrooms, floors, glass, trash, and high-touch surfaces
• Deep-clean tasks on a weekly/monthly schedule (carpets, baseboards, vents, waiting areas)
• Stock and track supplies (restroom, cleaning, breakroom) and reorder before we run out
• Light maintenance and fixes: swap bulbs and filters, tighten hinges and handles, patch and touch up paint, hang shelves/signage, assemble furniture, clear minor drain clogs
• Spot problems early and flag anything needing a licensed pro (HVAC, plumbing, electrical); meet vendors on site when needed

SCHEDULE

About 30 hours/week on average — 5 days, about 6 hours/day, one location per day:

• 4 weekdays, flexible start time, finishing before 3pm (before students arrive)
• 1 weekend day — your choice of Saturday or Sunday, starting after 4:30pm

Additional hours occasionally available as needed, always mutually agreed and paid on top.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 2+ years in janitorial, custodial, facilities, building maintenance, or similar
• Comfortable with basic hand tools and minor repairs
• Self-directed — you'll manage your own route and checklist across three sites
• Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license
• Able to lift 50 lbs, be on your feet most of the shift, and use a step ladder
• English sufficient for notes/texts with our team; you'll coordinate mostly by phone/text

PAY & BENEFITS

• $45,000–$50,000/year salary, depending on experience (salaried non-exempt; additional agreed hours paid on top)
• Health insurance
• 10 days paid vacation + 6 paid holidays + paid sick leave
• Stable, flexible schedule you largely set yourself
• Small friendly team, and work that's visibly appreciated by hundreds of families every week

TO APPLY

Submit your resume, or a short description of your work history. We'd love to hear about a building or facility you kept running.

Please note: this posting is for individual applicants only. We are not looking to hire a janitorial or facilities company, and we ask staffing agencies and service providers not to contact us.
