Job description

Restoration Technician – Insurance Restoration

We're looking for a Restoration Technician to join our new Underwood-based team. This role suits someone with genuine water-damage/restoration experience who can work independently, take ownership of jobs onsite and help set the standard as our Queensland operation grows.

If you have experience in water damage restoration, structural drying, mould remediation or insurance restoration and are looking for a role where you can take ownership of your work, continue developing your technical skills and be part of a growing operation, we’d like to hear from you.

It would also suit someone with construction experience, looking for a change.

Amtec works across residential and commercial properties following water damage, mould, fire, and other insured events. No two days are quite the same, and our technicians play an important role in helping customers get their properties back to normal.

What you'll be doing

• Attending residential and commercial insurance restoration jobs
• Water extraction and water damage mitigation
• Structural drying and installation of drying equipment
• Mould remediation and containment
• Assisting with fire and other restoration works
• Contents handling, inventory, and relocation
• Identifying site hazards and maintaining safe work areas
• Completing site documentation, photographs, and reports
• Communicating professionally with customers, Project Managers and other trades
• Setting up, monitoring, and maintaining restoration equipment
• Supporting and mentoring developing technicians where required

About you

• Has previous experience in restoration, water damage, mould remediation or a similar industry
• Understands the importance of accurate documentation
• Can work independently and make sensible decisions onsite
• Takes pride in completing work properly
• Communicates well with customers and colleagues
• Is reliable, organized, and comfortable working in a changing environment
• Has a strong focus on safety
• Holds a current driver's license
• Able to safely perform the physical requirements of the role, with reasonable adjustments where applicable.

We offer:

• Company vehicle and equipment for applicable roles
• Ongoing technical training and development
• Opportunities to expand your restoration qualifications and skills
• A varied role across different sites and types of damage
• Support from an established restoration business
• Genuine opportunities for career development as our Queensland operations grow

We’re building our Queensland operation and this is an opportunity to join the team while it is growing.

We’re looking for technicians who want to build a career in restoration, not simply move from job to job.

We’d also like to hear from people with strong transferable experience who may not tick every box above.
