Exterior Cleaning Technician (Gutter Crews) | Entry Level, Paid Training
Southern Outdoor Restoration | Raleigh, NC
Full-Time | Monday through Friday | Paid Every Friday

Work outside. Work with your hands. An honest day's pay for an honest day's work.

Our gutter cleaning crews run Monday through Friday out of our North Raleigh warehouse. If you've spent time on ladders, roofs, scaffolding, or any job that kept you outdoors year-round, you already have a head start here. If you haven't, we'll teach you the trade from day one with full paid training. Next orientation class begins August 24.

Why people build a career here:

• $18/hour to start with no experience. $19/hour to start if you've done similar work before.
  
• Raises and internal promotions based on outcomes, not tenure (you're not waiting in line behind anyone).
• Paid, hands-on training.
• Real advancement. Technicians who show up, take initiative, and carry themselves professionally can move into salaried LT roles quickly, often within months.
• Predictable weekly pay, deposited every Friday.
• A hiring process that respects your time. Apply in minutes, hear back fast, start earning quickly.

Benefits:

• Paid time off and paid holidays
• 401(k) with company match
• Health insurance (BCBS, plans start at $29 a week!)
• Supplemental coverage (dental, life, disability)
• Referral bonuses of $250 per hire, with no cap on how many people you can refer
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

What we're looking for:

• A valid NC driver's license and a clean driving record. Crews travel to job sites daily, so safe driving matters.
• Dependable transportation to our North Raleigh warehouse.
• Dependability above all. You do what you say, every day, on site by 7:30 AM Monday through Friday.
• Comfort working at heights. Ladder, roof, or elevated work experience is a real plus, though not required.
• Prior outdoor or physical work (construction, landscaping, roofing, moving, warehouse, agriculture) is helpful, not required.
• A team-first attitude and willingness to pitch in wherever needed.
• Ability to read and follow written and verbal safety instructions in English, required to perform the job safely.
• Willingness to raise a hand early when something is unclear or off track.
• A drug-free, safety-first mindset and professional conduct on the job.
• Physical capability to meet the demands of the role, described below.

The job day to day:

Crews clock in between 7:15 and 7:30 AM. From there, expect to:

• Handle hoses, wands, ladders, and safety harnesses correctly and safely.
• Meet OSHA and internal safety standards on every job.
• Lift or pull up to 75 lbs, including holding equipment overhead for stretches of time.
• Work at height within fall-protection guidelines. (Equipment generally accommodates individuals roughly 150 to 270 lbs. If you're near either end of that range, reach out and we'll talk through what's possible.)
• Follow daily job assignments and safety protocols accurately.

What we value most:

1. Safety and OSHA compliance
2. Teamwork and clear communication
3. Efficiency without cutting corners
4. Coachability and trustworthiness

Pay: $18/hour to start, no experience required, full training provided. $19/hour to start with experience in a similar role.
