Final Message from the Owner

(Matt Graves)

Hi there - I'm thrilled for Cleen to officially have FIVE new open positions this year for Summer Mobile Detailers.

Here's some important things I want you to know before applying.

We don't hire often (the last time was 2 years ago) - and we're proud to have the highest Indeed employee rating of any detailing company in Ottawa, along with the most 5-star customer reviews of any mobile detailer (over 1000+ on Facebook and Google).

As one are one Canada's fastest-growing 'technology-enabled' mobile car detailing companies, our customers book their service in a few clicks, and get a 5-star car detailing service right from their door-step.

We are a 'People-First' and Living Wage Certified employer - which means our culture is centered around helping our team achieve their professional, financial, and personal goals as a core part of our mission.

Mobile detailing is a TOUGH JOB (it's not for most people). You're working for 8-9 hours a day in the sun, rain, snow, heat or cold - constantly moving, bending, and shuffling equipment around as you work to deliver an awesome vehicle transformation for the customer. This job is highly labour intensive - and you'll feel exhausted by the end of a shift.

However... you will reap the rewards of your work both in terms of compensation, job satisfaction from positive client reviews, being part of a team-oriented culture, and building new skills in detailing, customer service, sales and team-work. You'll find many of these skills useful in your career and life moving forward.

Finally - as a highly team-oriented service, we have a high-bar for only recruiting (and keeping) only those who can bring a positive attitude, with reliable attendance and timeliness each and every day.

I look forward to seeing your application - and best of luck!
