Disaster Response Technician

Now Hiring: Experienced Disaster Response Technician (Fire & Water Restoration)

If you already know restoration — we want you. SERVPRO® Team Carpenter is expanding our Fire & Water Division and looking for experienced, reliable technicians who can step in, get to work, and elevate the crew. This is not entry-level cleanup work. We're looking for people who understand job flow, equipment, documentation, and what it takes to run a clean, efficient mitigation job. If you take pride in your work, move with urgency, and don't need to be micromanaged — you'll fit here.

You'll be responding to fire and water losses and executing mitigation work with professionalism and efficiency:

• Set up and manage containment, drying systems, and equipment
• Perform extractions, demo, and material removal
• Navigate attics, crawlspaces, and tight working environments
• Follow proper PPE, safety, and IICRC-based standards
• Document work clearly (notes, photos, daily updates)
• Maintain clean, organized, job sites

What we expect:

• Prior experience in fire and/or water mitigation (preferred)
• Understanding of drying principles, equipment, and job flow
• Ability to work independently and as part of a crew
• Strong work ethic — show up ready, move with purpose
• Clean, professional communication on jobs

Requirements:

• Valid driver's license
• Able to lift 50+ lbs regularly
• Comfortable on ladders and in confined spaces
• Willing to work in dirty, wet, and high-demand environments
• Reliable attendance — non-negotiable
• Background check required

What you get:

• Competitive pay based on experience
• Real advancement — Lead Tech → Crew Chief → PM/Estimator
• Paid certifications (IICRC + continued training)
• Strong leadership and structured operations
• Steady, year-round work in a recession-resistant industry
• Team that works hard and holds the line

Why this role stands out:

We run tight jobs, clear expectations, and no wasted time. If you've worked in restoration before, you know how rare that is. You'll be part of a team that:

• Moves fast
• Holds quality standards
• Takes pride in the finished product

If you're experienced and tired of disorganized crews, inconsistent work, or low standards — this is your move. Each SERVPRO® franchise is independently owned and operated.
