Are you the technician who sets the standard - or the one who waits to be told what it is?

We are looking for a Lead Emergency Services Technician who takes a water loss, mold job, or board-up from initial inspection to complete documentation - with the crew executing correctly, the drying plan followed precisely, and the PM informed before problems become crises.

WHO WE ARE

Rainbow Restoration of Chesapeake is a growing emergency services and restoration company serving Hampton Roads. We are part of the Neighborly family of home services brands - national systems, local accountability. The Lead Technician who performs at a high level here has a clear path to growth.

THE ONE THING

Execute drying correctly the first time - accurate readings, correct equipment placement, complete documentation - so jobs close faster, rework is eliminated, and margin is protected.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

- Drying plan executed precisely on every first visit - no improvised equipment placement without PM authorization

- Initial inspection documented in full before any work begins - PM and estimator have a complete picture before scope is written

- Complete documentation submitted before leaving every site: readings, photos, scope notes, next-day work plan, Day 1 MICA, office confirmation

- All issues flagged to PM same shift - access, structure, mold indicators, customer concerns, equipment damage

- Zero unauthorized equipment extensions - PM authorization confirmed in writing before Day 5 run time is extended

- Crew time entries verified and submitted to PM same day - every shift, without exception

- Crew coached actively every shift - at least one teaching moment per shift, because the team gets better or it stays the same

DAY TO DAY

- Attend Work Order Verification with PM before morning huddle daily - confirm scope and work orders before jobs are deployed

- Conduct warehouse loadout check - all equipment clean, filters fresh, before departure

- Execute and supervise initial inspections, drying plan implementation, moisture readings, mold containment, sample collection, and board-up work

- Upload Day 1 drying log, complete photo sets, and Mitigate readings same day - every job

- Enter daily scope notes and next-day work plan in Dash before leaving the site

- Call office to confirm documentation complete before departure - every job, every day

- Review drying outliers weekly with PM - lessons learned recorded

- Conduct weekly equipment condition checks and fuel usage review

- Give crew technicians specific, feedback on documentation and execution quality weekly

- Your documentation is complete before you leave the site - always

- You flag problems to the PM same shift - not the next morning
