Hello,
 Recently we received a new President and CEO and started a re-branding campaign. Per his wishes and due to the larger logo, we are attempting to shorten some of our staff's titles for name tags.  We use contract janitorial service to clean offices, bathrooms, and some public spaces. I also have two staff members that clean our historic structures, museum, and touch up the site throughout the day. Their titles have been "Curatorial Maintenance," does anyone have suggestions for a job title that reflects their job duties as above and beyond a basic janitorial position but is shorter then Curatorial Maitnence?

Thanks!

Ive always found this to be a tough role to title! Here are a few suggestions 

Exhibit Tech
Preparator (it's a bit of a stretch and you may have people already with this title)
Housekeeper
superhero
thankgodyourewillingtodothisjob (ok, not shorter)

Our janitorial and building maintenance fall under the Facilities Department, which we general just shorten to Facilities.

We have the same positions at our MNHS historic sites and museums.  Their titles are "Collections Maintenance Assistants", which is even longer.  I'd suggest shortening it to "Exhibits Tech" or "Museum Tech".  Or just use a smaller font.
