A janitor is primarily a person who cleans. A custodian deals also with maintenance of machinery and building systems, like HVAC and plumbing.

Remember the old joke about calling a janitor a "Custodian". Well, how about calling a phone screen "Candidate Development"? I don't think the new name brought the janitor any more money but I think fancy talk does make recruiters more money...

PhD. degree a custodian in a museum has, for example, since no janitor would be allowed to clean Mona Lisa's painting, or maintain the rare manuscripts.
In the industry the custodian jobs include: general building maintenance, janitorial duties, and floor maintenance, sometimes grounds maintenance as well. Janitorial usually refers to cleaning only.

Janitor cleans, a custodian cleans and fixes minor things
They are both usually considered "Sanitary Engineers"

the custodian actually has responsibility for the space.
they will have keys to all the rooms and have more
