There is availability for overtime, allowing you to increase your earnings when work volume is high. The culture values internal development, with leadership who began in front-line roles and understand the work firsthand, and there is a defined pathway to advance into positions such as case manager or project manager as you gain experience.

Work Environment

You work in a mix of shop and field environments, starting each day at the shop and then traveling with the team to various job sites. Field work includes entering flooded buildings, crawl spaces, fire-damaged areas, and post-construction sites, where you use cleaning products, tools, and general labor equipment to restore spaces and contents. The role may involve exposure to dirt, debris, moisture, smoke residue, and construction dust, and you follow safety procedures appropriate to each site. Over time, the position will require participation in an on-call rotation, providing flexibility to respond to urgent restoration needs outside standard hours.
