Fish Window Cleaning is hiring an Estimator to be the face of our company out in the field. This is a hands-on, in-person role — not a closing job!
Your work is to visit commercial properties, walk the building, assess their windows & other factors, and write an estimate. Your job is to provide pricing — you are not responsible for following up or closing the sale. If you'd rather be outside, meeting people, and making connections than sitting at a desk, this is the perfect role for you!
What You'll Do
- Visit commercial businesses in person — retail strips, restaurants, offices, storefronts
- Introduce yourself and Fish, and ask for the decision-maker
- Walk each property, assess and count the glass that needs cleaning
- Write accurate, professional estimates using our pricing system
- Log each estimate so it flows cleanly into our system
- Target: approximately 60-75 written estimates per week, based on the schedule you set
Paid hourly for time worked. The estimate target is the performance standard for the role — there's no sales quota and no commission tied to closing.
Schedule & Pay
Schedule: You set your own schedule — build it around classes or other commitments, then keep roughly the same hours each week, 20-25 hours/week. The only constraint: your working hours must start no earlier than 8 am and end no later than 5 pm.
Pay: $18.00–$22.00 per hour, part-time
Estimated annual earnings: Based on 20-25 hours/week at $18-22/hr, this works out to roughly $18,720–$28,600/year, depending on the hours and rate you land at.
What You'll Need
- Reliable personal vehicle, car insurance and a valid driver's license — you'll drive between stops
- Comfortable outdoors and on your feet for several hours at a time, including in Texas summer heat
- Presentable and comfortable walking into a business and starting a conversation
- Able to work independently & stay organized
- Basic comfort using a smartphone or tablet to log estimates
Nice to Have
- Previous door-to-door, canvassing, or field sales experience
- Background in trades, field service, or route-based work
- Familiarity with navigating Houston
Our Hiring Process
We move fast and keep you in the loop — most candidates hear back within 3 business days of applying.
- No resume required
- A few pre-screening questions
- One in-person interview, about 30 minutes
- Job offer
Why Fish
- You set your own schedule — great for balancing classes or other commitments, with consistent hours once you've settled into a rhythm
- Full paid training, no experience needed
- Work independently and manage your own route day-to-day
- Room to grow — after 6 months, motivated estimators can explore closing sales for additional commission, expanding their hours, and other advancement opportunities
- Family-owned and operated business — we value our people!
