If you have experience in water mitigation or restoration and enjoy hands‑on work where every day brings something different, this could be a great opportunity to grow your career.

This is an assistant‑level position where you'll work alongside lead and senior technicians to help complete water mitigation and restoration projects. You'll play an important role in responding to emergencies, supporting your team, and helping customers recover from unexpected water damage.

Depending on experience, you'll earn $20.00 - $25.00/hour. We also provide:

• Health insurance benefits for full‑time employees (30+ hours per week)
• Paid vacation for full‑time employees (30+ hours per week)
• Competitive hourly wages
• Industry‑specific training and development opportunities
• All required PPE and tools
• Career growth opportunities in a growing company

As an Assistant Water Mitigation Technician, you'll work under the direction of experienced technicians to help ensure mitigation and restoration projects are completed efficiently and correctly. Your responsibilities may include:

• Assisting lead technicians with water mitigation and restoration projects
• Following instructions and completing physical job‑site tasks
• Loading and retrieving tools, equipment, and supplies from the warehouse
• Communicating effectively with leads and other team members
• Maintaining clean, organized, and properly stocked work vehicles

• Ability to work overtime
• Willingness to work holidays as needed

Strong communication, teamwork, and a willingness to learn are important in this role. Familiarity with PPE and safety procedures is helpful.

We operate 24/7/365 because water damage doesn't happen on a convenient schedule. Your typical schedule is Monday - Friday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm, along with a rotating on‑call schedule.

When an emergency occurs, we need team members who are ready to respond quickly and help get the job done.
