You join a team-oriented environment that values safety, professionalism, and long-term career growth in the restoration and construction field.

Work Environment

This is a field-based position working on-site in homes, businesses, and disaster-affected properties rather than in a traditional office setting.

The role is physically active, requiring regular lifting, carrying, and handling of restoration equipment and building materials. You will use a range of tools, including tape measures, hand tools, power tools, and drying and remediation equipment. Standard hours are typically 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but you are expected to stay until the job is finished when necessary, and to be on-call approximately once per week for emergency response.
