Built Differently. Owned Together.

FORJAK Industrial isn't your typical construction and coatings company, and we're not looking for a typical Restoration Technician.

Founded in 2001 in Circleville, Ohio, FORJAK was built on a simple belief: the people doing the work should share in the success. That's why in 2022, we became an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) company. When FORJAK wins, you win literally.

We live by four values we call FIRE: Family · Integrity · Resilience · Excellence

FIRE represents the spirit that fuels FOR JAK—who we are, how we work and what we stand for every day.

The Role

The Restoration Technician is a part of our Field Division. You'll be responsible for restoring concrete and steel structures across the country, performing surface preparation, concrete restoration, coatings, demolition, placement, and construction work on a wide variety of project types and environments. If you thrive on the road, love hands-on work, and take pride in bringing structures back to life, this role was built for you.

This isn't a clock-in, clock-out job. This is a career with a company that has your back, and proof of that is written into our ownership structure.

What You'll Own

On a given day, as a Restoration Technician, you will:

• Travel on a nationwide basis approximately 95% of the time; 5-to-10 day trips with overnight stays are the standard for this role. FORJAK covers all lodging, fuel, and meals after the first meal of travel.
• Execute interior and exterior construction projects, including miscellaneous construction tasks, floor repairs and coatings, and structural restoration work on various concrete and steel surfaces.
• Perform partial and full depth concrete demolition, as well as excavation and trenching operations, in accordance with project specifications and safety requirements.
• Complete small, medium, and large concrete placement projects, including slabs, sidewalks, and approaches, with steel trowel, edging, jointing, and broom finishes.
• Restore concrete surfaces by patching and repairing cracks using epoxy injections, shotcrete applications, mortars, and other proven techniques; install rebar and other strengthening measures as needed.
• Prep and coat concrete and steel surfaces through pressure washing, contaminant removal, wet/dry cutting, grinding, blasting, and the application of industrial coating systems, including epoxies, polyurethanes, and other protective coatings.
• Repair and maintain ceramic, vinyl, carpet tile, and rubber flooring systems as required by project scope.
• Operate small, medium, and large equipment, including excavators, skid steers, front-end loaders, forklifts, scissor lifts, and telehandlers safely and proficiently.
• Maintain power tools, grinders, mixers, and other restoration equipment in proper working condition throughout the project.
• Adhere to all company safety and work policies.
• Remain flexible, taking on miscellaneous duties as assigned by leadership to support evolving organizational needs.

  
  

Do You Have What It Takes?

We're not just filling a seat. We're adding someone to a team of owners.

You must bring:

• Valid Driver's License and auto insurance are required for this travel-intensive role.
• 1–2 years of experience in pressure washing, coating systems, concrete restoration, or a closely related field.
• 1–2 years of familiarity with mechanical systems and tools used in concrete restoration (e.g., pressure washers, grinders, mixers, concrete saws).
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand/walk for 10-12 hours daily.
• Willingness to travel 95% of the time and work varying day and night shift hours, averaging 10–12 hours per day.
• Willingness to work in varying conditions, including heat, cold, humidity, dust, and concrete exposure.
• Strong coordination and dexterity to manage precision tasks in tight or awkward spaces.
• A team-first attitude — ego doesn't build great things, people do.

Even better if you have:

• Experience operating larger equipment, including excavators, skid steers, telehandlers, wheel loaders, and forklifts.
• Familiarity with epoxy, polyurethane, and other industrial-grade coatings applied to concrete and steel surfaces.
• Experience with partial- or full-depth concrete demolition, excavation, or trenching operations.
• Willingness to adapt to changing project requirements, job sites, weather conditions, and tasks.
