Join a growing local company where your work matters.
KDR Industrial Services is a locally owned and operated industrial services company based in Cape Breton. As our company continues to grow, we're looking for another dependable, hardworking person to join our team.
We're not looking for someone who simply wants a job, we're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, shows up when they say they will, and enjoys being part of a small team that works together. Reliability, a positive attitude, and a strong work ethic are just as important to us as experience.
About the Position
As a Pressure Washing Technician, your primary role will be working in our commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning division. You'll work alongside a lead technician to clean commercial kitchen exhaust systems, including hoods, filters, ductwork, fans, and fan bowls. You'll use pressure washing equipment, specialized cleaning products, and a variety of tools to ensure our customers' systems meet cleanliness and safety standards.
You'll also assist with other commercial, industrial, and exterior pressure washing projects as needed, giving you the opportunity to gain experience in different areas of our business.
This is active, hands-on work that requires working at heights, climbing ladders, accessing rooftops, and operating pressure washing equipment. While commercial kitchen cleaning will make up the majority of the position, you'll also have opportunities to work on other pressure washing and industrial cleaning jobs.
This is a hands-on industrial cleaning position. Applicants should be comfortable working around grease, cleaning chemicals, water, and dirty environments and should expect to get wet and dirty while completing some jobs.

Two weeks of day shifts (Monday to Friday)
