Job Description

A Day in the Life of a Skilled Tradesman

As a Skilled Tradesman, you provide a variety of restoration and disaster recovery services when sub-contractors aren't an option, ensuring quality workmanship on projects for First Onsite clients. You assist with administrative tasks such as daily field reports, crew sheets, and tracking expenses for projects, but you also provide the physical labor to get things done - from painting to installing, taping, and texturing drywall to installing both interior and exterior finishes. You are the muscle for building, construction, and demolition sites and may even participate in mitigation activities, such as water extraction, mold remediation, emergency board-ups, or tarping roofs. Whether loading/unloading materials, machinery, and tools or cleaning and preparing, you maintain safety at all times and adhere to Environmental, Health, and Safety protocols.

You don't hesitate to help the team wherever and whenever you're needed, as you are willing to travel and are available for emergency/after-hours/weekend calls. You are providing a positive experience to clients during their time of need, and your hard work provides reassurance that First Onsite is the only restoration partner they'll ever need. You take pride in what you do every day and are thrilled to be part of a team that supports and encourages your professional growth and development.

Responsibilities:

• Assist with mitigation activities, including water extraction, fire and mold remediation, light demolition, emergency board-ups, and equipment setup
• Maintain vehicles, tools, and job sites cleaned, stocked, and ready for rapid response
• Support daily project operations by completing documentation, tracking expenses, and communicating updates to leadership
• Perform physical labor on restoration, construction, and demolition sites, including loading materials and preparing safe work areas
• Utilize basic construction skills such as painting, drywall installation/patching, texturing, and interior finish work
• Follow all Environmental, Health, and Safety protocols while working in potentially hazardous environments or disaster sites
• Be flexible with overtime, weekend work, 24/7 emergency response, and potential travel as needed

Experience & Education:

• Possess or willingness to obtain a Water Mitigation Certificate within 1 year
