Description

City Wide Facility Solutions is the largest management company in the building maintenance industry. We secure and manage commercial contracts and partner with skilled independent contractors to perform the work.

City Wide helps you grow your revenue, keep your crews busy, and get paid consistently - including guaranteed payment on the 10th for work performed.

We operate throughout South Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana - a strong commercial market with warehouses, medical facilities, manufacturing sites, schools, and municipal buildings.

The Opportunity

City Wide Facility Solutions is seeking experienced disinfecting service providers to support our portfolio of commercial clients.

We work with offices, medical facilities, schools, and high-traffic environments that require reliable, professional disinfecting services to maintain safe and healthy spaces.

This includes both recurring preventative programs and on-demand disinfecting services, depending on client needs.

The selected contractor will provide professional disinfecting services, including:

  • Response-based disinfecting services when required

Work may include:

  • Daytime or after-hours service depending on facility needs
  • Coordination with on-site teams and facility managers
  • Documentation of services performed (logs, photos, reporting)

You will be expected to:
Deliver thorough, consistent, and compliant disinfecting services

Benefits

We help you grow a real business - not just pick up extra work.

  • Consistent, Recurring Contracts (No Hunting Required)
    We bring you qualified commercial accounts so you can focus on operations - not cold calling, bidding, or chasing leads.
  • Reliable, On-Time Payments
    Eliminate collections headaches. We handle billing and client payment - you get paid consistently and predictably.
  • Scale Your Revenue Quickly
    Access multiple accounts across our territory - grow from a small crew to a multi-team operation with steady work.
  • Professional Account Management Support
    Our Facility Solutions Managers handle client communication, inspections, and issue resolution - helping you retain accounts and maintain high standards.
  • No Sales, No Admin Burden
    We manage contracts, client expectations, and service coordination - freeing you to focus on delivering quality work and building your team.
  • 20+ Other Opportunities
    Expand into additional services (floor care, porter services, consumables, specialty cleaning) and increase revenue per account.
  • Long-Term Partnership Model
    We are invested in your growth - many of our partners have scaled into six-figure and multi-crew businesses with us.
