Job summary

Voda Cleaning & Restoration is growing and is hiring a Lead Cleaning & Restoration Technician to anchor our field operation. This hands-on role today has a clear path to leading a crew as we expand.

You don't have to be a lead yet. With 2–3 years in carpet cleaning and restoration, you can grow into the leadership role after demonstrating skills, learning our standards, and delivering quality work for residential and commercial customers.

Qualifications

• 2–3 years hands-on experience in carpet cleaning and/or restoration.
• Valid driver's license and a clean driving record.
• Able to pass a background check; you'll be working in customers' homes and businesses.
• Physically capable of demanding work — lifting 50+ lbs, hauling equipment, and working on your feet in tight or awkward spaces.
• Able to properly wear and use a full‑face respirator in accordance with IICRC standards and regulations.
• Comfortable working in difficult environments — including sewage backup cleanups, mold, fire and smoke damage, and eventually trauma scenes.
• Reliable transportation to and from work.

Responsibilities

• Perform professional carpet, tile, and odor removal services.
• Restore water, fire, smoke, and mold for residential and commercial customers.
• Learn and follow our standards and expectations for how every job is done — quality is not negotiable here.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with customers, often during stressful situations like a flood or fire.
• Accurately complete work orders, job documentation, moisture logs, and photos.
• Maintain and care for company equipment, tools, and vehicles.
• Grow into leading jobs and, over time, training and holding accountable the technicians who join the team.
• Opportunity to cross‑train into trauma and biohazard cleanup as the company expands into that work.
