A Canadian company where employees wear kilts is looking for Scottish people to join them

A company in Canada that employs people to clean windows while dressed in kilts is trying to recruit someone from Scotland to join the team.

The company, Men in Kilts, is offering a free one-way ticket from Scotland to Canada to the successful candidate.

The new company member will be based in Calgary, Alberta, and will be able to earn up to $55,000 (£30,500).

Year-round work

Men in Kilts says says its mission is “to bring smiles to the world, one kilt at a time”, and that applicants must be “excited” to wear a kilt to work everyday.

Those hoping to make the move to Canada must also have a two-year work permit to stand a chance of getting a job.

The company offers year-round employment with snow clearing jobs available in the winter.

‘Looking for enthusiasm’

The job ad says applicants should like climbing, have a full and clean international driving licence, and should enjoy physical work.

The company said in the ad: “We are looking for hard working, enthusiastic, motivated and goal-driven leaders who recognise the importance of delivering remarkable service experiences.

“Be part of an exciting, unique brand, while providing window cleaning and exterior cleaning services to both residential and commercial clients.

‘Kilted technicians’

“Within this organisation, fun factor meets inspiration, as you work alongside a team of kilted technicians.”

The technicians duties include window, gutter and carpet cleaning, while wearing the green tartan kilts.
