What’s In It For You?

• Solid Pay: Starting at $17.00/hr with plenty of overtime opportunities.
• Standby Bonus: We value your time. You receive a guaranteed weekend standby bonus for on-call rotations, on top of your hourly pay if you are dispatched.
• Paid Training: We pay for your industry certifications (IICRC) and provide a clear path for pay raises as you gain expertise.
• Purpose: You will end every day knowing you directly helped a family or business owner in their hour of need.

Requirements

• Physical Stamina: Ability to lift 50+ lbs, climb ladders, and work in tight or non-climate-controlled spaces.
