How to discover the employer

Follow the work—not only the building.

  1. Search the institution’s name with the job title and the word contractor.
  2. Search the institution’s name with companies such as Crothall, Sodexo, Aramark, ABM or Allied Universal.
  3. Ask which company operates environmental services, transportation, dining, security, parking or facilities.
  4. Search procurement, vendor, board-meeting and contract-award pages.
  5. Search a contractor’s career page by the facility’s city, address or ZIP code.
  6. Apply through both the institution and contractor when you are qualified; some departments are outsourced while others remain in-house.

“Training provided” does not mean there are no requirements. A position may still require background or drug screening, physical ability, health clearance, a food-handler card, security licensing, school clearances or a clean driving record.
