Who We Are
We are Seattle Window Cleaners, a rapidly growing home service company, and we believe that happy technicians produce better quality work for our customers. We are looking for energetic, positive people who can help us capitalize on the flood of new business coming our way.
The Position
This is a full-time (Monday-Friday or Tuesday-Saturday) position, requiring availability between 8:00-5:00pm. This is a year-round position with significant time off opportunities if desired. Our experienced technicians average $70 - 80k / year including performance bonuses. Medical, dental, and vision insurance are provided, as well as PTO and sick pay.
You will initially be paired with an experienced technician, starting out at $30 / hour, then after 1-2 months the expectation is that you will transition into your own company vehicle and work on your own, earning $32- 40 / hour.
The typical day for a technical will start with picking up a company vehicle and supplies at our offices in SODO, then working independently to complete the assigned jobs for the day. While our techs often work independently, they have full access to administrative and technical support whenever they need it. Most of our jobs are in West Seattle, but we also service Capitol Hill, Mercer Island, Bellevue, and the surrounding areas.
Job duties include window, roof and gutter cleaning, pressure washing, as well as installing Christmas lights. Duties vary throughout the year and no day is the same. You be trained in new skills and develop at least a basic knowledge of home care. If you can’t imagine yourself at a desk, then this job is for you!
Our values
We have identified a set of values which we believe are crucial for success in our business. These are: Reliable, Level-headed, Empathetic and Safe. We try to hire new team members, and evaluate existing ones, based on these values, and we expect you to follow them if you make a decision without anyone else around.
- Reliable - We work independently, with a high degree of trust placed on each individual. We show up on time and perform the services we said we would do, at the price agreed. Homeowners take time out of their schedule and plan for us to arrive at a certain hour, so we must be respectful of their time. If we cannot make it within the scheduled arrival window, we will update the customer along the way. We are honest about what we can and cannot do.
- Level-headed - The job gives us unforeseen events and challenges - when it does, we communicate, stay calm, work through it, and learn from the experience.
- Empathetic - We care and show respect for the customers property. We exist because of repeat customers and referrals. Therefore, we prioritize long term relationships over short term gain. We put ourselves in the other persons shoes and act accordingly, whether that is a customer or a coworker.
- Safe - Doing a job safely is more important than doing it quickly. You are the professional. Do not let yourself be pushed into doing anything unsafe, whether by a customer or a co-worker. Walking away from a job because of safety concerns is something that may happen from time to time; and that is totally ok. If you do not feel safe doing something, do not do it. We rely on you to use your training and judgement to make sound calls out there in the field.
Requirements
This position involves working outside in most weather and requires a minimum fitness level to perform the job effectively. As a company, we take pride in maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for all employees, and part of that includes ensuring that our staff are physically capable of meeting the demands of the job. The successful candidate must be able to perform tasks that require physical endurance, strength, and flexibility, and be comfortable with a moderate level of physical activity.
We are looking for people who are unafraid of heights but have a healthy respect for them. Experience with ropes and safety protocols is a plus, however training will be provided.
Excellent communicator. Relaying information to the office is essential when the unexpected happens, and is often the fastest way to resolve it. We are not looking for someone too proud to admit when they made a mistake or need help.
Must be comfortable driving around the Seattle area and possess a clean driving record.
Friendly and presentable. You will often be required to clean windows in people’s homes, and we have found that having a positive demeanor leads to a significant increase in positive reviews and tips for our technicians.
