Learn in the Field. Advance into Estimating, Sales & Project Management.
Barex is hiring motivated people who want to learn the restoration business from the ground up and build a career with growing responsibility and earning potential.
Your first approximately four to six months will focus on hands-on field training. You’ll work alongside our restoration team, learn how mitigation work is performed, and participate in the daily work of helping property owners recover from water, fire, and mold damage.
The goal is to prepare you to move into estimating, selling, and managing restoration projects—with firsthand knowledge of the work you’re responsible for.
Previous restoration experience is not required. We’re looking for people who communicate well, take ownership, enjoy solving problems, and are willing to put in the work to learn.
Where you’ll start: hands-on restoration
During your initial field training, you’ll learn to:
- Perform water extraction, cleanup, and removal of damaged materials.
- Set up, monitor, and remove drying and other restoration equipment.
- Follow safety procedures and protect customers’ properties.
- Document damage, take measurements, and maintain job photos and notes.
- Communicate professionally with customers and teammates.
- Understand how restoration projects progress from the initial response through completion.
This is an active, physical role. You will participate in the work while learning how to assess damage, plan projects, and deliver quality results.
Where the role leads: estimating, sales & project management
As you demonstrate readiness, your responsibilities will shift toward:
- Inspecting properties and developing scopes of work.
- Preparing estimates and explaining proposed services.
- Following up with customers and securing approved projects.
- Understanding insurance-related project workflows and documentation.
- Coordinating crews, schedules, equipment, and customer updates.
- Managing job progress, quality, and completion.
We expect the initial field training period to last approximately four to six months. Progression depends on demonstrated skills, performance, and readiness to manage projects. Hands-on support remains part of the role when needed.
Who will do well here
You may come from customer service, hospitality, sales, property operations, military service, construction, or another field where people depended on you.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Takes responsibility and follows through.
- Builds trust and communicates clearly.
- Is willing to perform physical fieldwork.
- Learns new procedures and software with attention to detail.
- Accepts feedback and applies it.
- Wants to develop sales skills and be accountable for results.
- Is looking for a long-term opportunity to grow.

Who We Are
Barex is a growing restoration and property recovery company serving communities throughout Georgia, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Florida. We help homeowners, businesses, property managers, and insurance professionals recover from water damage, mold, fire, and other property-related emergencies.
Our company was built around a simple idea: property restoration should be handled with urgency, professionalism, and genuine care for the people affected. When someone calls Barex, they are often dealing with one of the most stressful situations they have experienced. Our responsibility is not only to restore the property, but also to bring organization, communication, and confidence to the recovery process.
We provide emergency mitigation, mold remediation, fire and smoke cleanup, contents services, and complete reconstruction. This allows our team to support customers from the initial emergency through the final repair instead of leaving them to coordinate several different contractors.
What We Do
Our primary services include:
- Emergency water extraction and structural drying
- Water-damage mitigation and controlled demolition
- Mold inspections, testing coordination, and remediation
- Fire, smoke, soot, and odor cleanup
- Contents pack-out, cleaning, storage, and pack-back
- Emergency board-up and property stabilization
- Residential and commercial reconstruction
- Drywall, painting, flooring, cabinetry, and finish repairs
- Property services for apartment communities and managed properties
- Large-loss and multi-unit property recovery
We work in residential homes, apartment communities, condominiums, commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, offices, schools, hospitality properties, and other occupied environments. Every project is different, but our standards remain the same: respond quickly, communicate clearly, document thoroughly, and perform quality work.
A Company Built for Growth
Barex is continuing to expand across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Our presence includes Georgia, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Florida, with a focus on developing strong local teams that are supported by the systems and resources of a larger organization.
We are not interested in growing simply for the sake of becoming bigger. We want to build strong operations in every market, develop capable leaders, and become a trusted long-term partner for the customers and communities we serve.
As we expand, new opportunities continue to open in field operations, project management, estimating, sales, business development, administration, accounting, and company leadership. Many of our future managers will be people who started in hands-on roles, learned the business, demonstrated ownership, and grew with the company.
Our Approach to Restoration
Restoration requires more than performing physical work. It requires technical knowledge, detailed documentation, strong communication, and the ability to make good decisions under pressure.
Our teams use modern restoration equipment and digital systems to document moisture readings, drying conditions, job progress, photographs, equipment usage, project notes, and customer communication. We train our employees to understand not only how to perform the work, but also why the documentation, customer experience, and financial performance of every project matter.
We expect our teams to follow established restoration standards, company procedures, and jobsite safety requirements. At the same time, we encourage employees to think critically, solve problems, and take responsibility for the final outcome.
Who We Hire
We hire people from different backgrounds and experience levels. Some join us with years of restoration, construction, sales, or property-management experience. Others come to Barex with less industry experience but demonstrate strong communication, accountability, attention to detail, and the desire to learn.
We look for people who:
- Take ownership of their work
- Communicate clearly and professionally
- Care about the customer’s experience
- Pay attention to details
- Follow through on commitments
- Work well as part of a team
- Remain calm and solutions-focused under pressure
- Want to develop their skills and advance
- Understand that performance creates opportunity
- Take pride in the finished product
Experience is valuable, but attitude, reliability, and the ability to grow are equally important. We want employees who are interested in building a career—not simply clocking in, completing the minimum, and remaining in the same position.
A Place to Build a Career
At Barex, we believe good employees should have a visible path forward. We invest in training, professional certifications, hands-on development, and leadership opportunities.
A technician can develop into a Crew Chief. A Crew Chief can grow into project management, estimating, or sales. A coordinator can advance into office or operations management. Someone who demonstrates talent and initiative can take on greater responsibility as the company enters new markets and builds new divisions.
We want our employees to understand the entire business: how jobs are sold, how projects are produced, how customers are served, how documentation supports billing, and how quality and profitability allow the company to continue growing.
For motivated employees, that growth can lead to:
- Increased responsibility and compensation
- Performance bonuses and commission opportunities
- Professional certifications and technical training
- Project management and estimating experience
- Sales and business-development opportunities
- Department and regional leadership positions
- The opportunity to help launch and develop new markets
Our Culture
Barex is a performance-driven company with a people-first mentality. We believe strong results and a supportive culture can exist together.
We work hard, hold one another accountable, and take pride in solving difficult problems. We also recognize that employees perform their best when expectations are clear, communication is consistent, and good work is acknowledged.
Our culture is built around:
- Ownership: Take responsibility for the job and its outcome.
- Communication: Keep customers, coworkers, and project partners informed.
- Quality: Perform work that reflects positively on yourself and the company.
- Urgency: Respond quickly and keep projects moving.
- Documentation: If the work is not properly documented, the job is not complete.
- Development: Continue learning and help the people around you improve.
- Teamwork: Support the team and never treat success as an individual effort.
- Integrity: Be honest about what is needed, what was completed, and what comes next.

Joining Barex means becoming part of a company that is expanding into new markets, developing new leaders, and creating opportunities for people who want to grow with it.
Whether your strengths are in field production, customer service, project management, sales, estimating, administration, or leadership, there may be a place for you here. What matters most is that you bring professionalism, effort, accountability, and the desire to become better at what you do.
