- Mid-rise and ground-level cleaning with water-fed poles (up to 60 ft) and ladders
- Set up and operate Rope Descent Systems (RDS) and scaffolding

We invest in the right people. If you're safety-minded and steady at heights but don't yet have rope or lift experience, we still want to hear from you.
What You Get
- Pay of $14-$28/hour based on experience and certification - top of range for experienced, certified rope access technicians
