Part-Time Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Technician

Part-Time Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Technician Hoodz of the Lowcountry and Coastal Georgia, Savannah, Georgia, United States About this position Part-Time Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Technician — Trades Background a Plus | $20/Hr Paid Training + Production Pay (Nights) Work in the trades and want to earn extra money a few nights a week? If you're comfortable on a roof and good with your hands, this part‑time role starts with paid training at $20/hr and then pays you a share of every job you complete — on your schedule. HOODZ of the Lowcountry & Coastal Georgia cleans and maintains the exhaust systems that keep commercial kitchens from catching fire. We prevent grease fires and protect the people in restaurants, hospitals, schools, and hotels. We're building a bench of part-time overnight technicians — starting at just 2–3 nights per week. This is a great fit if you already work in roofing, HVAC, fire suppression, painting, pipefitting, or another hands‑on trade and want to add solid supplemental income without giving up your day job. You'll get paid training, company-provided equipment, and production pay.

WHY THIS FITS PEOPLE WHO ALREADY WORK IN THE TRADES

If you're already comfortable on rooftops, on ladders, and around equipment, you're most of the way to being good at this. You keep your primary job and add a few overnight shifts a week doing work you already know how to do — physical, hands‑on, and detail‑driven. No cubicle, no retail counter, unlimited hours. If you decide you want to go full‑time down the road, the career path is already built: Trainee to Technician to Crew Leader to Senior Crew Leader.

HOW SCHEDULING WORKS

You know your primary job's schedule, so you give us your available nights two weeks in advance, and we build the schedule around you. The work happens after the kitchens close. Because most restaurants close around 8 pm or 9 pm, a shift can start as early as 6 pm on some nights and later on others, with longer jobs running into the early morning. Start and end times vary night to night depending on the job — a shift is only as long as the work takes, not a fixed block. Some jobs can also be completed during the day.

WHAT THE WORK ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

This work is built for hard workers who don't mind getting their hands dirty and enjoy staying physically active. If that's not you, stop reading. You'll climb onto rooftops in the dark. You'll remove grease from commercial exhaust hoods with scrapers and pressure washers. You'll get dirty. You'll carry heavy equipment, work in tight spaces, and end the night having gotten a real workout. If that sounds too hard, this isn't for you. If that sounds like a challenge built for someone tough like you, then read on.
