Skilled Tradesman

Overview

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, and 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 may be involved in loading/unloading materials, machinery, and tools, cleaning and preparing sites, and you maintain safety at all times while adhering to Environmental, Health, and Safety protocols.

You are willing to travel and available for emergency/after-hours/weekend calls, and you strive to provide a positive experience to clients during their time of need. Your hard work supports First Onsite as the restoration partner clients will rely on, and you take pride in your daily work and in being part of a team that supports your professional growth and development.
