Since 1966, Paul Davis Restoration has led the industry in emergency property damage response, mitigation, and reconstruction. With over 370 offices across the U.S. and Canada, we’re the trusted team that jumps into action when disaster strikes — from water and fire damage to mold and storm recovery.


Now, we're looking for our next Superhero Mitigation Technician to join the front lines.


About the Role

This isn’t your average 9–5. As a Mitigation Technician, you’ll be the first responder to homes and businesses hit by disaster — flooding, fires, mold, and more. Your mission? Jump into action, assess the damage, and help restore the property to its former glory. You’ll be the calm in the chaos, using your hands-on skills and problem-solving mindset to get the job done right — and fast.


What You'll Do

  • Respond to emergency calls (water, fire, smoke, mold)
  • Extract water, perform structural drying, and demolition
  • Complete moisture readings, drying plans, and documentation
  • Assist with fire/smoke clean-up and odor removal
  • Support mold remediation efforts
  • Perform basic cleaning (carpet/upholstery)
  • Board up and secure structures
  • Communicate with customers throughout the process
  • Maintain company vehicles, equipment, and cleanliness standards
  • Participate in on-call rotation


What We are Looking For

  • High school diploma or GED (some college = bonus points)
  • IICRC certifications (or willing to obtain)
  • Can lift 50–75 lbs and work in tight/confined spaces
  • Valid driver’s license + clean driving record
  • Strong communication skills, both verbal and written
  • Comfortable with tech: smartphones, tablets, and basic computer skills
  • A positive, reliable, can-do attitude
  • Able to pass background check & drug screen


What You'll Get

  • Pay: $18–$25/hour based on experience
  • Benefits: Health, vision, dental, accident, life
  • Growth: Training, certifications, and advancement opportunities
  • Team: Supportive, hardworking, and fun work culture
  • Impact: Make a real difference in people’s lives every day


Ready to Suit Up?

If you’re ready to get your hands dirty, help people in their greatest time of need, and be part of an awesome team — we want to meet you.
