Description:

Elevator/Restroom Attendant

District Works | BART Program

Employer: District Works

Reports To: Program Director / Program Coordinator

Location: San Francisco Bay Area (varies based on company needs)

Pay Rate: $24.50 per hour

Type: Part-Time to Full-Time

Role Overview

A District Works Attendant serves as a welcoming, hospitality-centric face for BART riders. Operating at the intersection of community care and information messaging, Attendants provide a consistent, friendly presence at BART station Restrooms and Elevators.

The primary function of this role is to facilitate connections: providing professional salutations to the community and acting as a dedicated messenger by directing all inquiries and observational reports to the appropriate BART Station Agents from dedicated Restroom and Elevator posts. This role is strictly observational and communicative, ensuring that the "guest experience" is elevated while respecting all jurisdictional and union labor boundaries.

What We Do

• Hospitality Salutations: Greet community members and BART patrons with "Radical Hospitality," fostering a welcoming, dignified atmosphere throughout the station and district.
• Directing Community Inquiries: Act as a specialized directional messenger. For all transit-related questions, wayfinding, or station information, Attendants direct community members to the BART Station Agent or authorized transit personnel.
• Messenger Reporting: Act as a link between the station environment and BART staff. Attendants observe the restroom/elevator and relay all findings, feedback, and facility observations directly to the Station Agent for action.
• Professional Presence: Maintain a calm, helpful, and hospitality-focused demeanor, serving as a non-intervening ambassador for BART and their riders.

What We Don’t DO

To keep our team focused on hospitality and to respect the specialized roles of our union partners, our Attendants do not engage in the following:

• No Manual Labor: We don't do the heavy lifting, cleaning, sweeping, or maintenance.
• No Information Desk Duties: We don't give transit advice or directions. We are the "concierge" who introduces the guest to the Station Agent for all technical needs.
• No Enforcement: We aren't security. We don't enforce rules or intervene; we simply observe and report to the proper authorities.
