I like the term, "maintenance technician". It carries more prestige than a mere janitor, even if the duties are the same. My second choice would be "custodian".

Janitor is derived from the Latin word Janus meaning "doorkeeper".

Janitor is a correct professional title.

The word "janitor" originated in 1575ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚Â€Ã‚Â“85  from a  Latin root meaning "doorkeeper."

I would guess the correct term is "janitor." plus, there's bunches of janitorial supply companies. I doubt they'd be using the term if it wasn't  standard.
