Pressure Washing Technician

Salary: $14-$16 with flexibility for experienced employees

Upcoming orientation: Make April 15th the first day in your new SOR career!

Join us! View our work at southernor.com. We are a commercial pressure washing and gutter cleaning service provider with a strong team of 70+ full-time W2 employees. We infuse our core values into all work functions:

1. Invest in our team
2. Execute with discipline
3. Pursue constant improvement
4. Do the Right Thing

We are a local employer of choice and are sought out because we provide:

• Employee experience at the forefront: You'll see this first as a candidate who has a 2 minute application that doesn't require you to re-type all your information and who receives an offer after 1 phone screen and 1 interview, to our paid orientation and training program and beyond.
  
• Training and growth opportunities at every corner - People who have a good work ethic and a coachable outlook move up the ladder quickly
• Weekly pay (deposited every Friday!)
• Great benefits like Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance, a 401(k) with matching, paid holidays, and additional PTO 
• A high-functioning team with great attitudes and knowledge
  
• Frequent opportunities for raises and promotions - no gatekeeping, no bogus experience or education requirements for things we could teach you on the job
  

Compensation

• Overtime pay at time and a half (optional, when available). The ability to grow into a salary role with bonus options averaging $42K - $57K/ annually. Holiday and PTO on top of that.
• 401K with matching available after 60 days
• Health insurance after 60 days (High quality BCBS insurance!)
• Supplemental insurance, with some options paid directly by SOR  after 60 days (For example, a dental policy for an individual is fully covered at no cost to the employee)

HINT: If considering another job, ask that potential employer and SOR these questions:

1. How many paid holidays do I get? (SOR = 8 to 11 per year depending on shift/ day of the week where the holidays fall that year)

2. How much paid time off (PTO) do I get on top of holidays? (SOR = 2 weeks, plus 2 more days if you volunteer in the community)

3. Do you have a 401K? (SOR = Yes! And we match up to 4% and you're immediately vested)

4. Do you provide paid training and future opportunities? Will you invest in me? (SOR = YES, yes, yes! It's #1 of our 4 core values! Come ask folks who have stayed here 3, 5, 7, or even 10 years why they can't be lured away.)

5. Do you adhere to safety protocols and have employee-centric protocols? (SOR = Yes, we've heard what "the other guys" ask of employees and that is not our way!)

 

Requirements:

- Reliability: you show up when you're supposed to and you do what you say you will

- Team mindset: A rising tide lifts all boats and we all do our part to make the team successful

- Communication: you proactively speak up when you need more information or need to alert of an issue

- A passion for working outdoors

- Pride in your workmanship and willingness to learn and improve no matter how experienced

- Physical abilities listed above required by job duties

- A desire to be part of a team that cares personally for one another

- A valid NC Driver's License/ reliable legal transportation to our North Raleigh warehouse by 7:30 AM weekdays

- Related construction experience is a plus. Please notify us if you have experience in minor deck repairs, board replacements, and/or deck staining

- A positive attitude and willingness to work with a team. Great communication with co-workers and supervisors.

- Professionalism: You understand that your mind needs to be sharp to do your best work and keep those around you safe and you understand we are a drug-free workplace

Essential duties:

• Showing up is crucial for our team - we rely on one another. Therefore, we require all team members MUST HAVE ADEQUATE TRANSPORTATION TO THE SOR WAREHOUSE, M-F BY 7:30AM SHARP. Most employees finish the days' jobs by 2 to 4 PM each day. 
• Driver's license highly preferred for this posting (some of the leadership roles require driving, so drivers have more paths available)
  
• Ability to be cleared to be added to our insurance (i.e. at least 3 years' experience as a licensed driver, a good driving record).
• Must be able to lift and pull 75 lb. loads (two 5-gallon buckets of stain, pull 100' of hose, etc.). Must be able to lift pressure washing wands and hold above head for at least 6 hours per shift.
• Must be able to meet size/ weight minimums and maximums for fall protection, ladders, and harnesses. (With some exceptions, those weighing between 150 lbs. and 270 lbs. will generally be able to properly use our equipment. Feel free to ask for more details if you are closer to the lower or higher ends and we will do our best to work with you.)
• Must be able to read, understand, and follow safety instructions at all times, including OSHA and MSDS information.
• Must be able to walk, stand, squat, climb, and execute safety protocols.
  

The priorities of SOR Pressure Washing Technicians are:

1. SAFETY and OSHA compliance 
2. Effective and professional communication with management, peers, and clients
3. Quality of work – getting the job done correctly
4. Efficiency and Timeliness – getting the job done on schedule (you make more here when you're accurate AND efficient!)
   
5. Trustworthiness - the ability to perform work without micromanagement or hand-holding
6. Coachability - able to absorb training from the experts we provide (You are working directly with experts- not just for orientation and initial training!)
