Overview

We are a growing restoration company focused on water damage mitigation and reconstruction, and we are looking for a motivated, independent rep to expand our presence across Austin.

This is a 1099, commission-only opportunity for someone who wants flexibility, uncapped earning potential, and the ability to build a long-term book of business.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain relationships with:
  • Property management companies
  • Apartment communities / HOAs
  • Commercial facilities
• Introduce our company and position us as a reliable, go-to vendor
• Stay in consistent contact with partners and remain top-of-mind
• Generate mitigation and reconstruction opportunities through your network and outreach

This role is about earning long-term partnerships, not transactional selling.

Compensation (Commission Only)

• 8–10% commission on mitigation jobs
• $1,000–$2,000 per reconstruction job
• Uncapped earning potential

This is a commission-only role. Income is performance-based and may take 30–60 days to ramp up.

Important Notes

• This is a 1099 independent contractor role (not W-2 employment)
• You control your schedule and how you generate business
• Income is performance-based and is not guaranteed; it may take 30–60 days to ramp
• We do not pay for referrals or engage in any form of kickbacks—business is earned through service and relationships

Why This Opportunity

• High-ticket services = strong earnings per deal
• Flexible, independent work structure
• Opportunity to build your own book of business and grow with the company

Flexible work from home options available.
