Oahu | Paid Training | Field Operations | Career Growth
SoftWash Hawaii is looking for dependable, capable individuals who want to learn a skilled trade, take responsibility, and grow with a developing company.
This is not simply a helper position.
Our goal is to develop technicians we can trust to get the job done without the owner standing beside them.
You don't need soft washing experience. We will train you.
You do need accountability, responsibility, mechanical aptitude, common sense, and the willingness to learn.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Above everything else, we're looking for people who are:
ACCOUNTABLE — You take ownership of your responsibilities and mistakes. You don't automatically look for someone else to blame or solve the problem.
RESPONSIBLE — You show up on time, prepared, and ready to work. Other employees, customers, and the company are depending on you.
TRAINABLE — You listen, retain what you're taught, apply it, and become increasingly capable. Training should result in greater independence—not someone continually doing your job for you.
You may be a strong fit if you:
Have good mechanical ability and enjoy understanding how things work
Use common sense and can troubleshoot problems
Think before immediately asking someone else for the answer
Show initiative and recognize what needs to happen next
Accept coaching without becoming defensive
Remember and apply previous training
Take pride in doing physical work correctly
Can follow systems and safety procedures
Work productively without constant supervision
Want greater responsibility and earning potential as your capabilities grow
You don't need to know everything. We care about whether you can learn, think, improve, and become dependable.
THIS MAY NOT BE FOR YOU IF...
This probably isn't the right position if you frequently have difficulty getting to work on time, need repeated reminders, expect someone else to solve every problem, become defensive when corrected, regularly call out, or are primarily interested in what you can earn without considering the responsibility that comes with it.
We would rather both sides understand that before you're hired.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
You'll learn SoftWash Hawaii's professional exterior cleaning and property-preservation systems while assisting with:
Equipment, chemical, tool, and vehicle preparation
Roof, exterior, solar panel, siding, concrete, window, and related services
Basic equipment operation and troubleshooting
Property and landscaping protection
Ladders, roofs, and elevated work using required safety systems
Job-site setup, execution, cleanup, and equipment reset
Identifying and communicating problems before they become larger problems
Maintaining professional standards around customers and their property
This is physical outdoor work in Hawaiʻi's heat, humidity, wind, and changing weather.
CAREER GROWTH
Assistant Technician is an entry point—not necessarily a destination.
Employees who demonstrate reliability, technical ability, ownership, safety, leadership, and consistent performance may advance into:
Lead Technician → Advanced Field Roles → Crew Leadership → Training → Operations → Other Leadership Opportunities
We promote based on capability, consistency, attitude, responsibility, and results—not simply time with the company.
COMPENSATION
Assistant Technician: $16–$18/hour + 1%–2% production commission
Paid training is provided.
Lead Technician opportunities include increased hourly compensation, production commission, and responsibility.
FIRST 21 DAYS
Every new technician begins with a 21-Day Field Evaluation Period.
We will evaluate:
Attendance • Punctuality • Accountability • Coachability • Learning • Mechanical Aptitude • Problem-Solving • Initiative • Safety • Work Quality • Productivity • Professionalism • Dependability
The question we're ultimately trying to answer is simple:
Can we trust you to learn the job, take ownership, and eventually execute work without constant supervision?
BASIC REQUIREMENTS
Applicants must live on Oʻahu, reliably commute to Ewa Beach, have dependable transportation and a valid driver's license, provide a driver abstract, complete required background/drug screening and DISC assessment, be physically capable of demanding outdoor work, lift up to 75 lbs., and be comfortable working from ladders, roofs, and elevated surfaces.
BEFORE YOU APPLY
We are not expecting perfection.
We are expecting effort, reliability, accountability, improvement, and ownership.
If you want a position where doing the minimum is enough, SoftWash Hawaii probably isn't the right fit.
If you want to learn a trade, become highly capable, earn greater responsibility, increase your earning potential, and grow with a company that is building for the future, we'd like to hear from you.
