Now Hiring: Experienced Mitigation Technician (Fire & Water Restoration)

SERVPRO Carmichael/Citrus Heights Roseville/E&W Modesto/Manteca

If you already know restoration — we want you.

SERVPRO® Team Carpenter is expanding our Fire & Water Division and looking for experienced, reliable technicians who can step in, get to work, and elevate the crew.

This is not entry-level cleanup work. We’re looking for people who understand job flow, equipment, documentation, and what it takes to run a clean, efficient mitigation job.

If you take pride in your work, move with urgency, and don’t need to be micromanaged — you’ll fit here.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Set up and manage containment, drying systems, and equipment
• Perform extractions, demo, and material removal
• Navigate attics, crawlspaces, and tight working environments
• Follow proper PPE, safety, and IICRC-based standards
• Document work clearly (notes, photos, daily updates)
• Maintain clean, organized, job sites

What We Expect

• Prior experience in fire and/or water mitigation (preferred)
• Understanding of drying principles, equipment, and job flow
• Ability to work independently and as part of a crew
• Strong work ethic — show up ready, move with purpose
• Clean, professional communication on jobs

Requirements

• Valid driver’s license
• Able to lift 50+ lbs regularly
• Comfortable on ladders and in confined spaces
• Willing to work in dirty, wet, and high-demand environments
• Reliable attendance — non-negotiable
• Background check required

What You Get

• Competitive pay based on experience
• Real advancement — Lead Tech → Crew Chief → PM/Estimator
• Paid certifications (IICRC + continued training)
• Strong leadership and structured operations
• Steady, year-round work in a recession-resistant industry
• Team that works hard and holds the line

Why This Role Stands Out

We run tight jobs, clear expectations, and no wasted time. If you’ve worked in restoration before, you know how rare that is.

You’ll be part of a team that:

• Moves fast
• Holds quality standards
• Takes pride in the finished product

If you’re experienced and tired of disorganized crews, inconsistent work, or low standards — this is your move.
