What is the job description and duties for a superintendent, porter, handyman?
There really is no written job description that would cover all supers, porters and handymen in all types of buildings – not from the union and not from anywhere else. The job description for a particular job will cover that job in that particular building only. Another job may have some of the same components, but add other duties, and take away still others. It’s up to the owner or management to come up with a list of duties that are expected to be provided by an individual super, hopefully (but not necessarily) in conjunction with the super himself. That list of duties will vary greatly due to the size of the building, the number of staff members, whether or not it’s a union job, the involvement and expectations of management, whether it’s a condo/co-op or a rental, even the neighborhood the building is in, along with many other lesser factors. Your first step should be to ask Management for THEIR job descriptions for those positions in your building.
