Residential Exterior Cleaning Technician
Elbow Grease Window Cleaning
Job Description
Job Description
A TEAM THAT TAKES PRIDE IN THE WORK
Elbow Grease Window Cleaning didn't become North County's most trusted exterior cleaning company by accident — it happened because our team shows up, does the job right, and treats every customer's home like it matters. We're not looking to fill a seat for a season. We're looking for our next Technician: someone who wants a real trade, a real career path, and a team that has their back.
WHY ELBOW GREASE
Percentage-based pay — the better you work, the more you earn: 30% solo, up to 19% as a lead technician, plus 10% on anything you personally upsell
A real career ladder: Technician → Lead Technician → Trainer → Crew Leader → Field Supervisor → Operations Manager
Full paid training — no experience required. We teach you the trade from the ground up
Company truck, professional-grade equipment, and uniform provided
Year-round work with a growing company — we're hiring now to staff up for peak season
Represent a company with 342 five-star Google reviews and a reputation people already trust
WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY BE DOING
Riding out with a Lead Technician to residential homes across North County San Diego
Learning window cleaning, solar panel cleaning, pressure washing, house washing, and gutter cleaning — hands-on, one skill at a time
Following our job-site process on every stop: professional arrival, careful work, quality inspection, final walkthrough
Representing the Elbow Grease name at every home — clean uniform, respectful of the property, straightforward with customers
Introducing yourself to a few neighbors at each job — it's part of the job, not an extra ask (Bonus $ if you land a job)
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Reliable — shows up on time, every time
Coachable — you don't need experience, you need the drive to learn
Comfortable with heights and physical work: ladders, lifting up to 50 lbs, working outside in North County's weather
Valid driver's license
Can drive a manual transmission? Big plus — we've got a truck that needs a driver
Honest, respectful, and takes pride in doing things right — even when no one's watching
OUR CORE VALUES
Customer First · Integrity · Professionalism · Reliability · Constant Improvement · Ownership · Respect
SERVICE AREA
Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Vista, San Marcos, Escondido, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach, Fallbrook, and surrounding North County communities.
