ABOUT CLEARVIEW BUILDING SERVICES
Clearview Building Services is a professional exterior building services company and proud member of the RL James Exteriors platform, a family of five specialty trade companies serving commercial properties across Florida and the East Coast. We take pride in delivering the highest industry standards and exceptional service on every project, from routine window cleaning to high-rise facade work at 500 feet.
We invest in our people. Through our in-house training facility, the University of Clearview, we train and certify technicians at all levels, providing the tools, knowledge, and support to grow a real career in our trade. Safety is non-negotiable. Craftsmanship is our standard. If you take pride in doing the job right and want to work with a team that has your back, this is the place for you.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a physically capable, safety-focused Hi-Rise Window Cleaning & Power Washing Technician to join the Clearview team. This is a hands-on role for someone who works confidently at heights, takes pride in quality workmanship, and is ready for steady, long-term opportunities with a company that values its people.
You will perform professional window cleaning and power washing at commercial properties, working at heights up to 500 feet using rope access, rapid rope, aerial lifts, and water-fed extension poles. No two days are exactly the same, but every day requires focus, safety, and a commitment to leaving every building better than you found it.
This is a physically demanding role. Technicians are required to manage rope systems and equipment weighing 75–100 lbs., work at significant heights in outdoor Florida conditions, and maintain stamina and focus throughout the full workday. If you thrive in a physically challenging environment and take safety seriously, we want to hear from you.
