Skilled Tradesman

Overview

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 participate in mitigation activities such as water extraction, mold remediation, emergency board-ups, or tarping roofs. You help with loading/unloading materials, machinery, and tools, or cleaning and preparing, while maintaining safety and adhering to Environmental, Health, and Safety protocols.

You don’t hesitate to help the team wherever and whenever you’re needed, and you are willing to travel and available for emergency, after-hours, and weekend calls. You provide a positive experience to clients during their time of need, and your hard work supports First Onsite as the restoration partner they rely on. You take pride in your work and value being part of a team that supports professional growth and development.
