Let’s connect and talk if you feel like we just described you.

Who are we? Kitchen Guard, an EverSmith Brand, is a leading kitchen exhaust cleaning company dedicated to ensuring the safety and cleanliness of commercial industrial kitchens. Kitchen Guard Services started in 2009 as a cold water, kitchen, and bar cleaning service. With a strong commitment to quality service and fire safety, we’ve built a reputation for excellence in our industry. Kitchen Guard Services is one of the largest kitchen exhaust and deep cleaning providers in the U.S.

Job Overview: Two primary functions:

(1) Filter Exchange: Drive a van filled with clean commercial kitchen hood filters (20"x 20" square metal panels) to between 5 to 10 different commercial kitchens in the greater Birmingham area, stopping at each location to remove the dirty filters in the kitchens, and replacing them with the clean ones from the van. Each restaurant will have between 3 to 20 filters that are exchanged. This is done starting after restaurants close, typically ~10pm start time, ending after the last location's filters are exchanged. This is done alone and in closed/empty restaurants.

(2) Warehouse Associate: Prior to beginning the filter exchange route, filters need to be soaked and pressure washed with our commercial-grade pressure washer. Filters soak for an hour prior to the pressure washing, so during "down time", other warehouse tasks include, but are not limited to: cleaning, organizing and wiping down company vans, servicing equipment, taking inventory of van equipment, pressure washing warehouse floor, keeping inventory shelves organized, emptying trash from warehouse and office, etc.

As it currently stands, this is anticipated to be three evenings/nights per week:

Monday and Tuesday: Start warehouse work at 7pm, beginning filter exchange route ~9-10pm, and completing work between 12am and 3am.

Wednesday: Warehouse night, 2pm start time completing warehouse tasks until ~7-10pm

Estimated 20-30 hours per week, expected to increase over time (with possibility for full-time 6-12 months down the road)

Given the job requires driving for hours at night, it is expected that Kitchen Guard would be the employee's only employment on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to ensure employee is well-rested to safely operate a vehicle at night.

Qualifications:

Valid driver's license in good standing and reliable transportation

Must be able to drive a company vehicle (standard van with a tall roof - no special licenses required other than driver's license)

Ability to properly use pressure washers/filter washer machines

Experience using commercial dishwashers
