Come Work With Us, Not For Us
Stop working at a job you barely tolerate. If you like working with your hands, solving problems, and seeing instant results from your work, this might be the most satisfying job you've ever had. We're not looking to be a pit stop in your career. We're building a place where hard work gets noticed, skills get rewarded, and there's a real path forward.

Your Path Forward
This isn't a dead-end job. You'll start as an Apprentice Technician, learning every service we offer. From there you’ll grow into a Journeyman Technician running your own jobs and with your own vehicle. Then there’s the opportunity to become a Crew Lead training and managing your own team. Each step up means more responsibility and more pay. We promote from within, and we're growing fast enough that the opportunities are real, not theoretical.
Who You Are
You're comfortable with heights, ladders, and lifting 50 lbs, and you don't mind getting dirty
You come from a hands-on background. Construction, trades, landscaping, military, or other blue collar work is a big plus
You're friendly and professional with customers. You can knock on a door, introduce yourself, and make a homeowner feel at ease
You like working with your hands and solving problems
You're reliable, respectful, and team-oriented
You have strong attention to detail and genuinely care about quality work
You're quick to learn and always looking for ways to improve
You have a valid driver's license
You have a clean driving record and background check
No experience? No problem. We train for skill and hire for attitude. Fair warning, though: this is real physical work. Full days on your feet, hauling gear, climbing ladders, and working in the sun. It's not for the faint of heart, and you need to be in shape to handle it. If you're a clock-puncher who wants to do as little as possible, this isn't the job for you.
Why Us?
We're a growing company where every team member matters. You'll work outdoors across San Diego, from suburban homes to coastal properties, mastering a real trade alongside a crew that has your back. If you've got hustle, a good head on your shoulders, and want to work somewhere that respects hard work, we want to hear from you.
We're an equal opportunity employer. Veterans encouraged to apply.
