This includes following our proven pool cleaning methods, handling pool chemicals in a controlled and safe manner, following all established protocols and sharing lessons learned with the rest of our team. The ideal person for this position will love to work outdoors. They will be a self-starter who has the ability to work independently with minimal oversight and guidance. They will handle all matters with integrity and embrace the concept and requirements of delivering "resort-quality service".

No other specific experience is required as we will teach you the ASP methods designed to give our customers a great looking pool and to maximize your earning potential; however, a high school degree and Certified Pool Operator License is preferred.

This position has the potential of earning a bonus by the company when specific gross revenue or productivity goals are met.

A company truck will be provided which you keep fully stocked with tools and chemicals. You will receive paid personal time following a qualifying period. Compensation: $18.00 - $23.00 per hour
