SIUE is pleased to announce Open Recruitment/Testing to fill current (and future) openings for Building Service Workers (Campus Maintenance) for the FY23 year.

PLEASE NOTE: Open Recruitment classifications describe a group of positions that are frequently hired, therefore applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. If you meet the minimum qualifications, your application materials will be assessed and your name will be added to the employment register for current and/or future vacancies within this job title. When a department has an opening for a ‘Open Recruitment’ classification, only applicants who have applied, qualified and tested will be considered. Only those candidates already on the employment register may be considered if there is a vacancy.

Building Service Workers (BSW) are responsible for daily cleaning and custodial services for all academic and administrative departments on campus.
