New Lenox, IL
Restoration 1 of Chicago Southland is a family-owned restoration company looking for a working Team Lead
—someone who can lead from the front, not from the sidelines.

This is not an entry-level role
. We need a hands‑on leader who knows mitigation work, understands standards, and can keep jobs moving while taking care of customers and the crew.

• Lead mitigation jobs (water, fire, mold, odor) from setup to dry‑out
• Direct and support technicians on site
• Communicate clearly with homeowners, adjusters, and property managers
• Set and monitor equipment properly (air movers, dehus, containment, etc.)
• Ensure work is completed to IICRC standards and company expectations
• Maintain job documentation (photos, notes, moisture readings)
• Keep the truck, equipment, and job sites clean and professional

• 2+ years restoration/mitigation experience (required)
• Prior leadership or lead‑tech experience preferred
• Strong understanding of water mitigation processes and dry‑out principles
• IICRC certifications (WRT required; ASD/FSRT/MRST a plus—or willingness to earn)
• Valid driver’s license & clean driving record
• Calm under pressure, professional with customers, firm but fair with the crew
• Someone who takes ownership and finishes what they start

• Competitive hourly pay (based on experience)
• Overtime opportunities
• Paid training and certification support
• Growth path into senior leadership as the company expands
• A team that treats people like adults—not numbers

We’re small on purpose and growing on purpose. That means:

• You’re heard
• Your work matters
• Your leadership actually counts

If you’re tired of chaos, shortcuts, and companies that talk culture but don’t live it—this is worth your time.

Pay Range $25-$28 /hour
