SERVPRO Team JRF, a nine-location restoration operation serving New Hampshire and Massachusetts, is hiring an experienced Restoration Crew Chief to lead field crews on water damage, fire damage, and mold remediation projects out of our Manchester, NH facility.

This is not an entry-level role. We are hiring a working crew leader who has already run mitigation jobs — someone who can walk onto a loss, scope it, set containment, direct technicians, document per IICRC standards, and communicate with customers and adjusters from day one.

What You'll Do

• Lead 2–4 person crews on residential and commercial water, fire, and mold losses
• Perform on-site scoping, moisture mapping, and daily monitoring/documentation
• Set up drying equipment, containment, and demolition per IICRC S500/S520 standards
• Complete daily job documentation, photos, and drying logs in restoration software
• Communicate job status directly with customers, project managers, and adjusters
• Train and direct restoration technicians on-site
• Participate in the on-call rotation for emergency response (paid on-call bonus program)

What You Must Bring (Required)

• 2+ years of hands-on restoration/mitigation experience (water damage restoration, fire cleanup, or mold remediation)
• Prior experience leading a crew or running jobs independently
• IICRC WRT certification  
• Valid driver's license with clean driving record (you will drive company vehicles)
• Ability to lift 50+ lbs, work in crawl spaces/attics, and wear PPE including respirators
• Ability to pass a background check
• Reliable availability for rotating on-call emergency response

Preferred (Not Required)

• IICRC ASD, FSRT, or AMRT certifications
• Experience with Xactimate scoping or matterport documentation
• Experience on large-loss commercial projects
• OSHA 10/30

What We Offer

• $26.00–$30.00/hour based on experience and certifications
• Paid on-call bonus program 
• Tool incentive program
• Red Wing boot program
• Company-provided uniforms
• Health benefits, paid time off, and 401(k) with Roth option
• Company vehicle for job response
• Paid IICRC certification advancement — we invest in your credentials
• Stable, established franchise with nine locations and year-round work — restoration doesn't slow down in winter
