High-Rise Window Cleaning & Power Washing Technician

Clearview Building Services, an RL James Exteriors company

Location: Fort Lauderdale / Palm Beach area, FL

Type: Full-time

Pay: $14–$28 / hour, based on experience and certification

Reports to: Operations Leader

Cleaning glass and washing facades at heights up to 500 feet is work most people never get to do. If you're steady at heights, take safety seriously, and want a real trade - not just a job - Clearview will train you, certify you, and grow your pay as your skills grow.

What You'll Do

• High-rise window cleaning and power washing on commercial buildings — up to 500 feet — using rope access, rapid rope, and aerial lifts (boom lifts, swing stages, powered platforms)
• Mid-rise and ground-level cleaning with water-fed poles (up to 60 ft) and ladders
• Set up and operate Rope Descent Systems (RDS) and scaffolding
• Power wash facades and exterior surfaces with high-pressure equipment
• Handle cleaning solutions such as chlorine and ammonia safely and to protocol
• Load, transport, and maintain equipment and company vehicles
• Document each job with before / during / after photos and complete work orders
• Follow OSHA-compliant safety protocols on every job, every day

What You Need

Required

• Comfortable working at significant heights (up to 500 ft) in Florida weather
• Physically able to manage rope systems and equipment weighing 75–100 lbs, lift ~50 lbs regularly (including up ladders and stairs), and stay active through the full workday
• Valid Florida driver's license with 2+ years of Florida driving history
• At least 2 months of hands-on aerial lift experience (boom lift, swing stage, or powered platform) — or a verifiable background working at heights
• Willing to complete high-risk work training before or upon hire (we provide it)
• Authorized to work in the United States

Preferred - Not Required, We Train

• Rope access or rapid rope experience
• SPRAT or IRATA certification
• Power washing experience

We invest in the right people. If you're safety-minded and steady at heights but don't yet have rope or lift experience, we still want to hear from you.

What You Get

• Pay of $14–$28/hour based on experience and certification - top of range for experienced, certified rope access technicians
• Steady, year-round work with overtime available
• Free training and certification through the University of Clearview - we develop technicians from the ground up and help you earn the certifications that raise your pay
• A clear path to advance: your pay and your role grow with your skills and certifications
• Health and supplemental insurance options
• Paid time off and paid company holidays
• A team that has your back, and a safety-first culture that's real - not just on paper
