  • Conducting detailed site inspections and assessments to determine scope of work, restoration strategies, and project timelines.
  • Operating restoration equipment, power tools, hand tools, carpet cleaning equipment, and company vehicles safely and effectively.
  • Ensuring strict compliance with safety protocols, PPE requirements, respiratory protection standards, and hazardous material handling procedures.
  • Creating project documentation, estimates, and insurance-related reports using Xactimate and other restoration software.
  • Communicating professionally with property owners, insurance representatives, and team members throughout the restoration process.
  • Coordinating resources, scheduling work, and maintaining clear project expectations from start to finish.
  • Participating in an on-call rotation to provide rapid emergency response when customers need us most.

  • Knowledge of industry safety standards, mold remediation procedures, water mitigation practices, and asbestos abatement protocols.
  • Ability to operate restoration equipment, construction tools, and company vehicles.
  • Experience using Xactimate or similar estimating and project management software.
  • Outstanding communication and customer service skills.
  • Construction, demolition, or rebuilding experience is a plus.
  • Ability to perform physically demanding work, including lifting equipment, climbing, crawling, and working in challenging environments.
  • Flexible availability for emergency and after-hours response situations.

Preferred Qualifications

While not required, the following certifications and skills are highly valued:

  • WRT (Water Restoration Technician) Certification
  • ASD (Applied Structural Drying) Certification
  • AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician) Certification
  • Strong understanding and use of modern technology, including mobile applications, digital documentation platforms, moisture mapping tools, and restoration software.
  • Additional IICRC certifications are a plus.

Why Join Us?

✅ Competitive pay and advancement opportunities
✅ Work with a team that values safety, professionalism, and teamwork
✅ Make a meaningful impact helping people recover after disasters
