Job description

Position Overview

City Wide Facility Solutions is the largest management company in the building maintenance industry. We secure and manage commercial contracts and partner with skilled independent contractors to perform the work. We handle the sales, client communication, billing, and collections so that you can focus on doing what you do best.

We are selectively partnering with established independent contractors and service companies to service our commercial clients in the region. If you operate a structured business, deliver professional facility maintenance, restoration, or renovation services, and are looking for steady, recurring work — without the burden of chasing new contracts or managing collections — this may be a strong fit.

City Wide helps you grow your revenue, keep your crews busy, and get paid consistently — including guaranteed payment on the 10th for work performed.

We operate throughout South Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana — a strong commercial market with warehouses, medical facilities, manufacturing sites, schools, and municipal buildings.

Benefits

• Consistent, recurring contracts (no hunting required). Qualified commercial accounts are provided so you can focus on operations, not cold calling, bidding, or chasing leads.
• Reliable, on‑time payments. Billing and client payment are handled so you get paid consistently and predictably.
• Scale your revenue quickly. Access multiple accounts across the territory – grow from a small crew to a multi-team operation with steady work.
• Professional account management. Facility solutions managers handle client communication, inspections, and issue resolution to help you retain accounts and maintain high standards.
• No sales or admin burden. Contracts, client expectations, and service coordination are managed, freeing you to deliver quality work and build your team.
