🛠️ Be the Hero in the Helmet: Restoration Technician

Location: SW Portland | Type: Hands-On, Team-Oriented, Growth-Focused

Are you tired of the same four walls? Do you want a job where you actually build skills, use your hands, and save the day for people in your community?

At SERVPRO of Southwest Portland, we don’t just "clean up"—we restore lives. When a house floods or a business catches fire, we’re the first ones on the scene to make it "Like it never even happened."

Why This is Better Than a "Standard" Job:

• Paid to Learn: No experience? No problem. We provide the equipment, uniforms, and professional training you need to become a certified pro.
• Active Work: Say goodbye to a desk. You’ll be in the field, moving, solving problems, and working with a crew that has your back.
• Career Track: This isn't a dead-end gig. We prioritize personal development and career progression. We want to see you lead your own crew one day.
• Real Impact: You are helping neighbors during their toughest moments. You'll finish every day knowing you actually made a difference.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Rapid Response: Jump into action for water, fire, and storm emergencies.
• The "Dirty" Work (That Matters): Perform water extraction, demolition, and specialty drying using high-tech gear.
• Tech & Tools: Manage your work vehicle, inventory your kit, and master professional restoration equipment.
• Communication: Keep homeowners in the loop so they feel safe and informed while you work your magic.

This Is For You If:

• You’re a "Handy" Person: You’ve dabbled in construction, DIY, or just like figuring out how things work.
• You’re a Team Player: You enjoy working in a tight-knit crew to get a mission accomplished.
• You Have Grit: You aren't afraid of crawl spaces, ladders, or breaking a sweat to get the job done right.
• You’re Reliable: You have a valid driver’s license and are down for the occasional on-call shift (because disasters don't keep 9-to-5 hours).

The Perks:

• Competitive Pay + Superior Benefits
• All Tools & Uniforms Provided
• IICRC Certification Opportunities (Industry Gold Standard)
• A culture that values you as an individual.
