Job Description
Job Description
We are launching a new commercial kitchen exhaust hood cleaning department and are looking for an experienced Lead Technician to help build it from the ground up. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll run jobs, train and supervise a growing crew, and set the standard for safety, quality, and compliance as we grow in the CapitalRegion.
• Lead and perform deep cleaning of commercial kitchen exhaust systems — hoods, ductwork, fans, filters, and rooftop units — to NFPA 96 and IKECA (C10) standards
• Supervise and mentor a crew of 2–6 technicians on job sites, including scheduling, safety briefings, and
quality checks
• Train new hires on equipment, chemicals, PPE, and cleaning procedures
• Serve as the primary point of contact on-site for facility managers and clients, ensuring service documentation
(before/after photos, compliance tags, inspection reports) is completed accurately
• Operate and maintain pressure washers, degreasers, and related equipment; troubleshoot issues in the field
• Work primarily after-hours/overnight to accommodate restaurant, hotel, hospital, and institutional kitchen schedules
• Support the buildout of department processes: routing, inventory, safety protocols, and onboarding materials for future hires
• Ensure compliance with local fire codes and client contracts; flag deficiencies (grease buildup, damaged
components) to management
What We're Looking For
• 2+ years of hands-on kitchen exhaust/hood cleaning experience required; supervisory or lead experience
strongly preferred
• IKECA certification (CECT or higher) or willingness to obtain certification within 90 days
• Comfortable working at heights, on rooftops, and in confined spaces
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record (some CDL/box truck experience a plus)
• Strong communication skills — you will be training crew and talking directly with facility clients
• Physically able to lift 50+ lbs, climb ladders, and work in hot/tight spaces for extended periods
• Flexibility for evening/overnight/weekend work
• Background in fire suppression, HVAC/ductwork, or commercial cleaning is a plus
What We Offer
• Competitive pay: $25/hour or salary, based on experience (leads in this market typically run above
the $22–$25/hr entry-level range)
• Company vehicle and equipment provided
• Support for IKECA certification/training costs
• Opportunity to shape a brand-new department and grow into a supervisory/operations role as the team
expands
• [ PTO / NYS benefits ]
