We believe in continuous training and clear career paths, allowing newcomers and semi-experienced techs to progress quickly. If you have basic construction/labor experience or a strong desire to learn, this Apprentice / Junior Technician role is your next step.

Position Overview

As an Apprentice / Junior Technician, you’ve completed (or bypassed) our probationary stage, or you bring 6–12 months of related experience (construction, cleaning, etc.). You’ll assist in equipment setup, documentation, and customer interactions as you expand your restoration knowledge, possibly pursuing key IICRC certifications (e.g., WRT, FSRT).

Key Responsibilities

Help senior techs handle water extractions, fire damage clean-up, and mold remediation tasks.
Set up/monitor drying equipment, take moisture readings, and maintain basic documentation.
Support new hires on simpler tasks, though no formal supervisory authority yet.
Uphold safety protocols at job sites, including proper PPE usage.

Requirements

Basic Experience: 6–12 months in labor/construction/cleaning (preferred).
Physical Capacity: Lift 50+ lbs, stand/walk for extended periods, handle PPE.
Pay Range: $18–$20/hr, aligning with an entry-level plus minimal experience bracket.
Certification Interest: Willingness to pursue WRT, FSRT, or other relevant IICRC certs.

Pay & Benefits

Hourly Rate: $18–$20/hr, depending on background/experience.
Training Path: Opportunities to advance into a full Restoration Technician role (typically $20–$24/hr) once you gain certifications.
Company-Sponsored Certs: We may cover the cost of essential IICRC trainings, subject to our cost-recovery policy.
Other: PTO, sick leave, and a supportive team environment.

Why Join Us?

Mentorship: Work closely with experienced techs who guide your daily tasks.
Hands-On Learning: Practice real restoration scenarios daily, from small water jobs to bigger fire/mold projects.
Career Path: Structured steps from Apprentice to Restoration Tech, then potentially Lead Tech and beyond.
Positive Culture: Collaboration and personal growth are our core values.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
