We pride ourselves on being a trusted partner to many of the world's leading brands and serve consumer and business customers across multiple industries. We are extremely proud of our legacy of excellence and constantly work to fulfill our mission to "protect people, enhance lives, and preserve the planet."

Essential Job Functions & Physical Requirements

  • Working in a safety harness from Mobile Elevated Work Platforms and rooftops as needed in the performance of exclusion services.
  • Completing production forms documenting services provided.
  • Working around mechanical parts, vehicles, electrical current, heights and scaffolding, fumes, dust, and chemicals (training provided for safe handling).

  • Maintaining balance when walking, standing, or crouching on narrow, slippery, or erratically moving surfaces.
  • Pushing objects forward, downward, or outward with sustained force using the upper extremities.
