  • Participate in ongoing training and industry certification.
Property restoration is a 24/7 emergency-service business. Participation in an on-call rotation and some evening, weekend, and holiday work may be required.

What We’re Looking For
  • 2+ years of hands-on property restoration experience, including water mitigation.
  • Experience independently running or leading mitigation jobs strongly preferred.
  • IICRC Water Restoration Technician (WRT) certification strongly preferred. ASD, AMRT, FSRT, or OCT certifications are a plus.
  • Working knowledge of structural drying, moisture detection, equipment placement, demolition, and jobsite safety.
  • Ability to direct and mentor technicians while actively performing fieldwork.
  • Strong documentation habits and comfort using mobile apps.
  • Dependability, sound judgment, attention to detail, and professional customer communication.
  • Valid driver’s license and acceptable driving record.
  • High school diploma or GED.
  • Ability to perform essential physical duties, including lifting 50 lbs. and sustained physical activity, with or without reasonable accommodation.
  • Comfort working in damaged properties, crawl spaces, and other restoration environments.
  • Willingness to follow established processes, receive feedback, and earn additional certifications.
Compensation & Growth
  • $26–$30/hour, depending on restoration experience and certifications.
  • Full-time, hourly position.
  • Paid vacation accrues at a rate of 40 hours per year, beginning after six months of employment.
  • Paid sick and safe time in accordance with applicable Washington State and Seattle requirements.
  • Paid on-the-job training and company-paid approved industry training and certifications.
  • Opportunities for increased pay as skills, certifications, independence, and leadership responsibilities grow.
