Practical outdoor work. Meaningful responsibility. Skills you can build on. Pay that grows with you.
Practical outdoor work. Meaningful responsibility. Skills you can build on. Pay that grows with you.
Kaslo-based · Full-time seasonal · Mid-March to late November
Spend your days working throughout the Kootenays caring for homes and properties through window care, roof drainage, exterior cleaning, roof and moss care, and other detailed property-maintenance work.
No previous industry experience necessary.
We are looking for someone who can learn practical skills, take responsibility, care about doing good work, and be invested in becoming increasingly capable over time.
Pay That Grows With Capability
Start around $19–$20/hour, with the potential to move into the $21–$23/hour range within the first few months as you demonstrate reliable skills, quality, focus, and responsibility. As your applied capabilities grow, so can your earning potential, through performance-based pay with substantially higher upside.
Start Your Introduction
Most days begin at our headquarters in Kaslo before travelling to client properties throughout the region, sometimes up to about 1.5 hours away. The work is active, varied, and hands-on.
You might spend one day cleaning windows at a lakeside home, another working from ladders on roof drainage, and another helping restore an exterior or care for a property that needs a little more problem-solving. You will work with tools, equipment, clients, teammates, and different kinds of buildings and surfaces.
Some projects are straightforward. Others require patience, judgment, and adapting the plan as you learn more about the property.
You do not need to match a particular personality type. Some people contribute through technical ability. Others bring calm organization, client communication, mechanical aptitude, problem-solving, leadership, or simply a strong ability to follow through. We are more interested in discovering how you actually work than hearing what you think we want to hear.
This work will not suit everyone. It may not be a good fit if:
There is nothing wrong with any of those preferences. They simply may point toward a different kind of work.
Depending on the project, your work may include:
We place quality first. As your skill grows, efficiency, independence, organization, and judgment become increasingly important too.
This is active outdoor field work. You should expect:
We work through changing weather across the Kootenays.
Ladders and roof work are a regular part of this position. Training and safe work practices are provided, but willingness and ability to work at heights are required.
The role includes lifting, carrying equipment, repetitive movement, and working on uneven terrain. You should be able to lift and carry approximately 50 lbs when needed.
Most days begin and end at our Kaslo headquarters. Projects are located throughout the surrounding region.
We generally build days around roughly an eight-hour target, but they are not fixed shifts. Some days may finish earlier, while others can reach 10 hours or occasionally more due to travel, weather, or the needs and opportunities of a project.
Smoking is not permitted during the workday, on client properties, in company vehicles, or while representing Elevate in uniform. Because we work closely with clients and around their homes, this is a firm requirement of the role.
For this position, you need:
Previous experience in exterior cleaning, trades, construction, landscaping, maintenance, or similar work can help, but it is not required. Other experience can transfer surprisingly well too. Mechanical ability, equipment use, customer service, farming, sports, volunteering, caring for property, or simply having been trusted with real responsibility may all give you useful skills for this work.
New field team members generally begin around $19–$20/hour during the initial training and probationary period.
Hourly pay can increase as capability develops.
Once someone demonstrates reliable technical ability, quality, focus, organization, judgment, and readiness for greater responsibility, they may become eligible for Elevate's performance-based compensation system.
Depending on capability, responsibility, and performance, earnings can eventually reach approximately:
Many team members reach the $28–$32/hour range within their first year as their skills and responsibility grow.
Higher earnings are not based simply on how long you have worked here. They come from becoming more capable and creating more value through things such as:
The goal is for increasing capability and contribution to create increasing opportunity.
You will learn the technical side of property care, but the role can develop much broader skills too. Over time, you may become stronger at:
We are still developing our own systems, training, and ways of working as a company. You will be joining something established, but still improving. Your experience doing the work can help us make it better.
Our main field season runs approximately mid-March through late November, depending on winter weather. Winter is normally a layoff period for seasonal field employees. For some people, that seasonal structure is a drawback. For others, having a substantial part of winter available for skiing, travel, family, other work, or personal projects is one of the benefits of the role. Employment Insurance eligibility and benefit amounts depend on individual circumstances and Service Canada requirements.
Elevate Property Detailing is a locally owned property-care company based in Kaslo. We work throughout the Kootenays caring for homes and properties while trying to build something that lasts: a company clients can rely on, work people can become genuinely skilled at, and a team that gets stronger as the business improves. We use good systems, documentation, training, technology, and continuous improvement to make field service more organized and professional without losing the relationships and small-town character that make this region special. We are not finished building it. There are still systems to improve, lessons to learn, and better ways of working to discover. That is part of the opportunity.
We do not expect you to prove yourself through a polished résumé and one high-pressure interview. We prefer to learn about each other gradually.
Tell us a little about yourself and whether the basic realities of the work fit your life.
If there appears to be potential, we will ask a little more about your experience, interests, and how you like to work.
You can learn more about Elevate while we learn more about you.
Promising candidates may be invited to a paid practical experience, so neither side has to make the decision based only on an interview.
If it looks like a good fit for both sides, we move into onboarding and a structured probationary development period.
You do not need to know whether this is your perfect job. If you can see yourself enjoying the work — or you are curious enough to find out — start by telling us a little about yourself.
