Who are we?
Kitchen Guard, an EverSmith Brand, is a leading kitchen exhaust cleaning company dedicated to ensuring the safety and cleanliness of commercial industrial kitchens. Kitchen Guard Services started in 2009 as a cold water, kitchen, and bar cleaning service. With a strong commitment to quality service and fire safety, we’ve built a reputation for excellence in our industry. Kitchen Guard Services is one of the largest kitchen exhaust and deep cleaning providers in the U.S.
Job Overview
Two primary functions:
Filter Exchange: Drive a van filled with clean commercial kitchen hood filters (20"x 20" square metal panels) to between 5 to 10 different commercial kitchens in the greater Birmingham area, stopping at each location to remove the dirty filters in the kitchens, and replacing them with the clean ones from the van. Each restaurant will have between 3 to 20 filters that are exchanged. This is done starting after restaurants close, typically ~10pm start time, ending after the last location's filters are exchanged. This is done alone and in closed/empty restaurants.
Warehouse Associate: Prior to beginning the filter exchange route, filters need to be soaked and pressure washed with our commercial-grade pressure washer. Filters soak for an hour prior to the pressure washing, so during "down time", other warehouse tasks include, but are not limited to: cleaning, organizing and wiping down company vans, servicing equipment, taking inventory of van equipment, pressure washing warehouse floor, keeping inventory shelves organized, emptying trash from warehouse and office, etc.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
