About Northern Lightning Wash

Northern Lightning Wash has been running since 2009 out of Traverse City, serving Northern Michigan with fleet washing, concrete removal, equipment degreasing, and industrial cleaning. It's a locally owned operation that's stayed small enough to know its people but big enough to keep steady work flowing. You'll spend your days on job sites across the region—no two days in the same warehouse or parking lot. You work outside, travel between locations, and see the direct result of your work. Your crew becomes your people; the company values honesty and ownership, which means they hire adults and treat you like one. There's no micromanaging culture here. You get weekly bonuses tied to performance that hit your paycheck the same week you earn them. If you're the type who wants to move into a leadership or management role, there's a clear path—the company actively grows people internally. What sets Northern Lightning apart is the stability and the actual benefits package. Health and dental insurance, a 401(k), and competitive base pay aren't flashy, but they mean something when you're deciding whether a job is worth your time. They also do charity work—washing facilities for nonprofits—which means your labor sometimes goes to help people who need it. That matters to the people who work there.

What We Stand For

Our Culture & Core Values

Honesty

You're hired because you're trustworthy, and that trust goes both ways. The company doesn't play games with pay or schedules.

Ownership

You own the quality of your work. You're not rushing through jobs or following scripts—you take pride in getting it right.

Willingness to Learn

The work changes with the seasons and the jobs. The company expects you to learn new techniques, equipment, and challenges—and supports you doing it.

Taking Initiative

If you see something that needs doing, you do it. You're not waiting for permission or a manager's sign-off.

Teamwork

You're part of a crew that works together across multiple job sites. The company values you as an individual AND as someone who makes the team stronger.

Positive Attitude

Work is hard. The company hires people who show up ready to work, not people who treat the job like punishment.
