We are already one of the largest and best hood cleaners in West Michigan. Our vision is to be the largest and best hood cleaner in all of Michigan. We need dedicated, hard working technicians who take pride in a job well done to help us meet this goal.

As an Apprentice Technician, you will work overnight on a 2 to 3 person crew and be responsible for removing all the grease from commercial kitchen hood systems. Our team will train you on everything you need to know to thrive. No previous experience with hood cleaning required, we got you! We work Sunday through Thursday with varying start times based on that night's jobs.
