Mitigation Technician

We are seeking a Mitigation Technician . In this role, you are the frontline hero helping homeowners and businesses recover from water, fire, and property emergencies. You will perform hands-on containment, demolition, extraction, and restoration while capturing project data digitally.

You need to be a driven individual, looking to grow, and earn more . In fact, if you are working towards saving for a new vehicle, house, or anything else, this job will help you get there faster! You can work additional hours and receive OT pay. And, we want team members who care - show up on time (or early!), take pride in their work, and naturally give 100% effort in everything, and want to help.

This isn’t just a daily labor job - it is a launchpad. We expect technicians to master project scopes rather swiftly, run jobs self-sufficiently without hand-holding, and position themselves to advance into Lead Technician or Production Manager roles, if that is desired., * Daily Execution: Arrive at the shop by 6:30 AM, load up the van with necessary gear, and hit the road with your partner by 6:45 AM in company vehicle.

• Site Work: Complete 1 or 2 smaller jobs per day, including water extraction, setting up plastic containment/protection, demolition (drywall, flooring, cabinet removal), sewage cleanup, and packouts to PODs.
• Equipment Management: Transport, set up, monitor, and tear down drying equipment. Clean and unload gear back at the shop dumpster at the end of the day.
• Digital Documentation: Use mobile apps daily to clock in/out, take site measurements, capture high-quality job photos, and maintain accurate project notes.
• On-Call Rotation: Participate in a fair on-call schedule (typically 1 week per month when fully staffed). Respond promptly to emergency after-hours calls to extract water and set up equipment., * Uncompromising Punctuality: You arrive at the Weymouth shop before 6:30 AM ready to work. Showing up late or calling out unexcused does not fly with us or your teammates.
• Pride in Workmanship: You leave job sites spotless, follow SOPs to the letter, and care about the quality of the work you deliver to stress-free customers.
• No-Complaints Mindset: Every day brings something different - from high-end home cabinet removal to messy sewage extractions. You tackle it all with a positive, can-do attitude. Every day is something different and new.
• Team First: You pull your own weight, support your van partner, and step up when the team needs an extra hand during emergency calls. (They aren’t as often as you would think.)

• Experience: 2+ years of hands-on experience in water/fire mitigation and restoration preferred. Candidates with strong backgrounds in carpentry, demolition, or skilled construction trades ready to learn restoration are also encouraged to apply.
• Tool Proficiency: Proven comfort and skill operating power tools (Sawzall, drills, hand tools) for clean, safe demolition.
• Valid Driver’s License: Must have a clean driving record and be eligible to drive company fleet vehicles.
• Tech-Savvy: Ability to comfortably use mobile phone applications for site documentation, photo uploads, and time tracking.
• Physical Capability: Ability to perform heavy lifting, work in tight spaces, and handle physically demanding tasks (including sewage or dirty environments) safely and efficiently.
