Your typical day as a commercial technician is gonna start with you coming in grabbing a route sheet in your mailbox with your locations of your jobs for tonight. You’re typically going to clean about 3 to 4 restaurants every night with about 2 to 4 hours of driving with what they call local. Out of town jobs may vary. You may drive up to 5 hours before doing your route and then checking into a hotel the next morning whenever you finish. The actual working of your job is going to be the same no matter the location. You’re going to come in to your restaurants you have a key most of the time, and an alarm codes most of the time for the restaurants, as your will be cleaning after hours. Commercial technician is a solo job so you will be by yourself in the field. You need to move all tables and chairs on the carpet or tile floors depending on what the customer ordered. Ensuring you get everything all crumbs all stains. Commercial is very miss managed. The workflow is very bad from night to night so be a person that is very good at working with very low sleep. your typical work week is only four days it’s going to feel like six because of the work that you’re doing depending on how your schedule is. You may have 3 consecutive days off a week. The work culture is very dog eat dog there’s not very much help if you come into issues. Management does not care about your personal life. Are your safety in the field.

It is a very physical job that requires a lot of travel. You have to travel out of town for multiple days at least once a month. Even though you travel you don't get much time for leisure or R&R. Most regular shifts are around 12 hours, but can sometimes go over if you run into issues. Part of the hours are travel hours. It's a very independent job. You typically don't have help as a night technician.

If you work 3rd shift then you can make enough to live on your own, but you don't get much rest (12 hour shifts on average).  You will drive every night on top of the work that you do. You also will be out of town working at least a week or two each month.

The job is really a 1 man job so if you like to be productive this isn’t the place. Usually the 2nd tech is a helper (line puller). Culture isn’t the best as far as including people. Sorry to say but first shift feels like the billionaire boys club and everyone is under 20 & spoiled.

Steam Source is a great place to work. They care for and take care of their employees. There's a lot of work and it may seem overwhelming at times, but you're given all the tools and help you need to succeed. 

I've worked at Steam Source for over 3 months now and I enjoy my job. They have a great group of guys, management is understanding and the owner is somebody I appreciate to have as a boss.
