Opportunities with the Foot Soldiers

Our leadership is passionate about hiring dope team members to help property owners with snow shoveling and yard cleaning needs.

During the snow season. To stay on top of our game, we:

1. Hire and contract with great people in Brooklyn (maybe you know someone great 🤩).

2. Fuse technology (our app 📱), a strong work ethic (our culture 🦾 ), and nearly 20 years of developed systems (our experience 😠 🙁 😐 🙂 😁 ) to provide reliable services that our clients (typically townhouses, small apartment buildings, and small business owners) love.

Year-round we accept applications for Shovelers! So if you live in the neighborhood, drive for Uber/Lyft, work with Doordash or any similar company, work part-time, or want to make an average of $350 - $1,000 per snowstorm, let us know. Most Shovelers opt-in to clear about eight nearby properties.
