High Pay, Overtime & Real Advancement: Earn $28–$33/Hr as a Mitigation Tech

About

AtBoston Harbor Water Restorationin Weymouth, MA, we do things differently. We are a fast-growing, tech-forward restoration company led by a young, driven team that genuinely cares about investing in our people. While the restoration industry is notorious for high churn and treating techs like temporary bodies, we operate like a championship team: we hire higher-skilled, high-drive professionals, hold a high standard, and pay accordingly.

We live by three core values:Hustle, Discipline, and Teamwork. Around here, respect and trust are earned through consistency and quality work. If you take pride in your craft, love being alongside high-performing co-workers, want to increase your income over time, and are seeking an opportunity to build a long-term career with a company that has your back, you'll fit right in.

About the Role

We are seeking aMitigation Technician. In this role, you are the frontline hero helping homeowners and businesses recover from water, fire, and property emergencies. You will perform hands-on containment, demolition, extraction, and restoration while capturing project data digitally.

You need to be adriven individual, looking to grow, and earn more. In fact, if you are working towards saving for a new vehicle, house, or anything else, this job will help you get there faster! You can work additional hours and receive OT pay. And, we want team members who care - show up on time (or early!), take pride in their work, and naturally give 100% effort in everything, and want to help.

This isn't just a daily labor job - it is a launchpad. We expect technicians to master project scopes rather swiftly, run jobs self-sufficiently without hand-holding, and position themselves to advance into Lead Technician or Production Manager roles, if that is desired.

What's In It for You

• Top-Tier Hourly Pay: $28.00 – $33.00 per hour (based on experience and technical skill).

• Massive Overtime Earnings:Techs average 50 hours per week. Massive overtime earnings are available during busy winter months (up to 6–7 days/week for those who want to maximize their paycheck).

• Paid Time Off (PTO): 10 days of PTO per year.

• Sick Days:5 dedicated sick days.

• Paid Holidays:7 paid holidays per year.

• Retirement:401(k) with up to a 3.5% company match.

• Tech & Fleet:Company vans, gas cards provided for work, top-of-the-line restoration equipment, and modern app-based tools.

• Real Advancement:Clear pathway to higher hourly rates and Production Manager roles as you demonstrate reliability and skill.

Core Responsibilities

• Daily Execution:Arrive at the shop by 6:30 AM, load up the van with necessary gear, and hit the road with your partner by 6:45 AM in company vehicle.

• Site Work:Complete 1 or 2 smaller jobs per day, including water extraction, setting up plastic containment/protection, demolition (drywall, flooring, cabinet removal), sewage cleanup, and packouts to PODs.

• Equipment Management:Transport, set up, monitor, and tear down drying equipment. Clean and unload gear back at the shop dumpster at the end of the day.

• Digital Documentation:Use mobile apps daily to clock in/out, take site measurements, capture high-quality job photos, and maintain accurate project notes.

• On-Call Rotation:Participate in a fair on-call schedule (typically 1 week per month when fully staffed). Respond promptly to emergency after-hours calls to extract water and set up equipment.

Required & Preferred Experience

• Experience:2+ years of hands-on experience in water/fire mitigation and restoration preferred. Candidates with strong backgrounds in carpentry, demolition, or skilled construction trades ready to learn restoration are also encouraged to apply.

• Tool Proficiency:Proven comfort and skill operating power tools (Sawzall, drills, hand tools) for clean, safe demolition.

• Valid Driver's License:Must have a clean driving record and be eligible to drive company fleet vehicles.

• Tech-Savvy:Ability to comfortably use mobile phone applications for site documentation, photo uploads, and time tracking.

• Physical Capability:Ability to perform heavy lifting, work in tight spaces, and handle physically demanding tasks (including sewage or dirty environments) safely and efficiently.

Key Attributes for Success

• Uncompromising Punctuality:You arrive at the Weymouth shop before 6:30 AM ready to work. Showing up late or calling out unexcused does not fly with us or your teammates.

• Pride in Workmanship:You leave job sites spotless, follow SOPs to the letter, and care about the quality of the work you deliver to stress-free customers.

• No-Complaints Mindset:Every day brings something different - from high-end home cabinet removal to messy sewage extractions. You tackle it all with a positive, can-do attitude. Every day is something different and new.

• Team First:You pull your own weight, support your van partner, and step up when the team needs an extra hand during emergency calls. (They aren't as often as you would think.)
