What are the responsibilities and job description for the Overnight FiltaFry Cleaning Service Technician position at Filta - Melrose, MA - Altamont Ave?
Benefits:
Overnight FiltaFry Cleaning Service Technician — Own Your Night. $25/hr After Training.
Read this first — it's the whole job in four sentences.
You'll run your own van through the night, filtering cooking oil and cleaning commercial kitchen fryers while the city sleeps. It's hands-on, physical work — hot and greasy at times — on a schedule that flexes with our customers, so some nights you start at 11pm and some at 4am. You work independently on your route, with a service director and shift supervisor a call or text away whenever you need support. The people who thrive here are responsible self-managers: they protect their daytime sleep, show up ready, drive safely, and take pride in leaving every kitchen spotless.
This job is built around one thing: being responsible enough to run your own night. That means:
- You manage your rest like it's part of the job — because it is. You set your day up to sleep so you're sharp at 2am.
- You show up. Every shift. Overnight routes don't work if one person doesn't appear.
- You drive safely. You'll be behind the wheel of our van every shift. A clean driving record isn't a formality — it's essential.
- You keep a strong, efficient motor. The route and schedule are set for you — you keep on pace, work efficiently, and get every stop done on time, night after night.
- You bring your own good attitude. You stay positive working independently — and on your later stops (after about 4:30am you'll often start seeing kitchen staff arrive), you greet them warmly and show you care. You represent Filta well on every stop, tired or not.
This is probably NOT for you if: you can't reliably sleep during the day; you need a set 9-to-5, constant company, or a slow pace; your driving record isn't clean; you can't lift 75 lbs or work in hot conditions; or you'd need public transit (our warehouse isn't transit-accessible).
Training, pay, and the path up:
- First 4-6 weeks — paid training, $20/hr: ride with an experienced tech and learn the equipment, van, app, and routes. Overtime is available even during training.
- After training — $25/hr: run your own route and your own van.
- After about 6 months: prove you're dependable and the Lead path opens up, with bonus pay for the added responsibility. A Lead is management's right hand overnight — helping train new techs, troubleshooting on the fly, keeping the equipment and vans in shape, and setting the standard the team follows.
Each shift you'll: filter cooking oil, clean fryers, and restock oil with our Filta equipment; drive the company van (Ram ProMaster) to customer kitchens; log each service in our app; keep your van clean and stocked; return equipment and dump used oil at the warehouse; follow every safety step.
What you need: legally authorized to work in the U.S. (SSN); valid MA driver's license and a clean driving record (5 years of good history — driving abroad counts); able to lift 75 lbs and work overnight in hot conditions; reliable transportation to the warehouse (not transit-accessible); a smartphone; conversational English. A plus, not required: machinery, custodial, kitchen, or other hands-on physical work.
What you get:
- $20/hr during 4-6 week paid training, then $25/hr
- Bonus opportunities and a clear Lead path (after ~6 months)
- Overtime hours available
- A company van to run your route — kept at our warehouse; it's a work vehicle, not a take-home car
- Company-provided t-shirts (you supply your own pants) and company-paid work shoes
- Paid every two weeks (biweekly)
- Full paid training — no fryer experience required
