• Opportunity for advancement
• Bonus based on performance
• Flexible schedule
• Training & development

What You Get

• Solid Pay + Overtime + Bonuses: Start at $20/hr with extra performance bonus opportunities.
• Paid Training & Trade Certification: Learn the equipment and gain NFPA 96 Fire Safety certification on our dime.
• Provided Company Gear: We supply all tools, uniform tops and safety gear.
• Real Career Growth: Show up on time, do clean work, and move from Technician to Lead Tech / Foreman quickly.

What You’ll Be Doing Every Night

• Setting up pressure washers, hoses, and protective plastic in restaurant kitchens.
