This is a hands-on, physical, dirty job. You’ll be in flooded basements, crawlspaces and attics, tearing out wet drywall and flooring and handling sewage and mold in full protective gear. It includes nights, weekends, holidays and an on-call rotation. If you’re looking for office, admin, customer service or desk work, this isn’t the job for you.

Why our techs love this job

You’ll walk into a home on one of the worst days of someone’s life. Water might be pouring through the ceiling, or a basement full of family memories might be underwater. You’ll be the one who takes charge and makes it right. Customers hug our techs, send thank-you notes and ask for them by name. You’ll help save what matters most to people, like family photos, heirlooms and the home they’ve worked hard for. At the end of every job, you’ll know you made a real difference for a family.

We don’t micromanage. Once you’re trained, you’re in charge on site.

You’ll also learn a real trade, earn certifications you keep for life, and work with a tight crew that has your back. No two days are the same, you’ll never be stuck behind a desk, and AI and robots won’t be taking this job anytime soon.

• Competitive hourly pay, plus overtime. Lunch is paid.
