Commercial Kitchen Route Specialist

What's Your Jam?

Independence. Control. Growth. If those words get you moving, you're going to love what we do.

At Filta RDU, we're not here to babysit you — we're here to back you up. You'll have autonomy on your route, build real relationships with your clients, and know that what you do actually matters every single day.

Our Jam

Since 1996, Filta has been the behind-the-scenes hero for restaurants, universities, hospitals, stadiums, and senior care facilities across the world. We handle the cooking oil and grease jobs nobody else wants to touch — and we're really good at it.

Our customers are genuinely happy to see us. That's not a line — it's just the truth.

Getting Down and Dirty — Because It Matters

We handle the mess. We solve the problems. We leave it better than we found it. Not because it's glamorous — but because it matters.

May the clean oil be with you.

The Role

Commercial Kitchen Route Specialist — Full-Time & Part-Time.

$18–$20/hr from day one, paid training on us — because we don't believe in throwing good people into hot oil. No grease required to climb here… okay, a little grease.

You'll visit the same clients on a regular schedule — cleaning commercial kitchen equipment, managing cooking oil, and being the person they can count on. Most of the time it's just you, your route, and the satisfaction of leaving every kitchen better than you found it.

This isn't mop-and-bucket work — there's a real method to what we do, and we'll teach you every bit of it.

About the Schedule — Read This Part

This is shift-based route work, not a 9-to-5. Kitchens need us before they open or after they close, so most routes start early morning (around 3–5am) or late afternoon into evening (around 4–8pm). There's some daytime work too. We'll match you to shifts that fit your life — but if a standard 8am-to-5pm is what you're after, this isn't the one. If early mornings or evenings work for you, you'll love the rhythm.

Why Work With Us?

• Shifts matched to your life within a route-based schedule
• You're trusted to work independently and own your results
• Real growth potential — bonuses, commissions, and room to move up
• 401(k) with company match + PTO from day one
• A team that shows up for each other

What You Bring

• Reliability — you show up, follow through, and take pride in the work
• Availability for early-morning or evening shifts (this is the job, not the exception)
• A valid driver's license and clean driving record
• Comfortable with physical work and learning hands-on
• Good with people — our clients look forward to seeing us
• You figure things out — when something's off, you don't wait to be told what to do
• Communication — you rapidly reply to calls or messages and alert the team of issues

How We Hire

Quick, straightforward, and built around fit — not just a resume:

• A quick video intro — record it right from your phone, no pressure, redo it as many times as you like. We just want to meet you before we meet.
• A short phone call to get acquainted
• An in-person visit to our warehouse — meet the team, see the work
• A ride-along with one of our experienced techs — see the real job, in a real kitchen, before you commit

We're not hiring resumes. We're hiring people.
