Overworked Restoration Tech on Long Island? Come Work With a Team That Actually Has Your Back.

If you're the kind of person who shows up ready to restore homes-and lives with urgency, precision, and honest care… but you're tired of feeling unsupported, underpaid, or like just another set of hands, keep reading.

Who This Is For

• New or experienced restoration tech who takes pride in clean, compliant, quality work.
• You want to learn fast, build real skills, and grow into more responsibility.
• You care about people: you can stay calm and empathetic with stressed-out homeowners.
• You respond fast, don't cut corners, and refuse to settle for "good enough."

What This Role Really Looks Like

This is a Restoration Technician role with United Water Restoration Group - Long Island, NY. You'll be hands-on from day one:

• Drive company vehicles and keep job sites clean, organized, and moving on schedule.
• Communicate directly with clients, teammates, and project managers so nothing falls through the cracks.
• Join the on-call rotation for real emergencies - nights, weekends, and sometimes holidays.

It's fast, messy, sometimes gross, and definitely not 9-5. If that turns you off, you'll hate this. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, you'll love it here.

What You Get Here (That You Don't Get Everywhere Else)

• A clear path to more responsibility, plus training and support to build your certifications (DOT within your first 3 months - company paid).
• A team that leads with urgency, empathy, and integrity - not chaos.
• Recognition and trust: we hire people who take ownership, and we let you own it.
• Backing from a 24/7/365 company that's served Long Island homeowners, businesses, and property managers for 7+ years.
• The credibility of working for a 5x "Best Restoration Specialist" winner on Long Island, NY.

• Valid NYS driver's license and reliable transportation 24/7.
