Job Description

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS :

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply for this position. Strong candidates may not necessarily meet every requirement but still have valuable experience and expertise to offer. If you believe you could be a strong candidate, please apply!

ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW

The SEIU Local 1 / BOMA Training Fund has been established to provide training services to janitors working at commercial buildings in the Chicagoland area. Through an agreement with BOMA and affiliated employers, this fund will help to bridge the gap in training that is necessary for Local 1 members to thrive on the job and in their communities.

POSITION SUMMARY

We are looking for a trainer in Chicago, Illinois to facilitate the Green Janitor Health Certification program (GJHC). The trainer (individual) will learn and train on a 30-hour curriculum developed by the fund and certified by the U.S. Green Building Council-California to train a cohort of building janitors covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Janitors will learn green cleaning, energy conservation, recycling and waste diversion, health and safety and water conservation practices. Thousands of janitors throughout the U.S. have been trained through this program, resulting in improved building energy efficiency.

The individual or trainer selected by a training partner must attend and successfully complete a ‘Train-the-Trainer’ program, which will be provided in a virtual format.

Project Timeline (Subject to Change) :

  • January, 2026 : Onboarding program (virtual Train the Trainer program)
  • February - May, 2026 : Training group of 10-20 building janitors in cohorts on the 30-hour curriculum.
  • June, 2026 : Evaluation / reporting and participant graduation from training.
  • As more buildings adopt the program, more classes will be scheduled into 2026 and 2027

KEY ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES :

  • Conduct Training Sessions - Trainer will conduct the GJHC training, which consists of 30 hours of curriculum and testing for the GJHC cohort of 10-20 janitors (subject to change). Trainer will be responsible for preparing for training sessions and securing travel to the training sites in and around Chicago. SEIU Local 1 and BOMA will work to ensure that suitable space at each of the participating facilities is available for the training and that parking is provided for trainers.
  • Evaluation of training - Trainer will coordinate with SEIU Local 1 staff and other designees to undertake a baseline assessment and post-training assessment of building energy efficiency and other required assessments.
  • Trainer / partner further agrees to oversee the GJHC training and to update and adjust the curriculum as the need may arise. We may also alert the trainer to curriculum issues and may offer resolutions / adjustments.
  • Maintain Participant Rosters - Trainer will maintain a list of individuals participating in the training, and a list of individuals who successfully complete the training and graduate. Trainer will provide that list upon request.
  • Identify Outstanding Students - During the course of the training trainer will monitor participants’ progress and performance and will identify and provide to Local 1 the names of those participants who excelled. Outstanding students include individuals who are able to clearly communicate the goals of GJHC and understand how the skills they learn benefit the building they work in and / or contribute to a sustainable environment or show overall enthusiasm for GJHC.
  • Within 14 days of completing the training, the trainer will produce and provide a two-page post-training report.
  • Develop a Graduation Plan - Trainer will collaborate with BOMA and SEIU Local 1 to develop a graduation ceremony for those participants who successfully completed the training course and fulfilled the other prerequisites to obtain their “Certified Green Janitor” certification. Trainer will participate in the graduation ceremony itself.
  • Training Materials - BOMA and SEIU Local 1 will assist in producing (i.e., copying, distributing) and translating the materials adapted for the training.
