Pulliam Restoration – Columbia, SC
Full-Time | Career Path | Performance-Based Growth

Pulliam Restoration is seeking a driven, dependable Restoration Technician to join our mitigation team.

This role is for individuals who take pride in their work, show up ready to perform, and want to build a long-term career in the restoration industry.

Restoration is not a desk job. It is physical, fast-paced, and high-responsibility work that directly impacts people during some of the most stressful times of their lives.

If you want meaningful work and the opportunity to grow - we want to talk.


The Role

As a Restoration Technician, you will respond to water, fire, mold, and specialty mitigation projects and assist in returning properties to safe, pre-loss condition.

Responsibilities include:

  • Emergency response to residential and commercial losses

  • Water extraction, equipment setup, and monitoring

  • Moisture mapping and job documentation

  • Controlled demolition and removal of damaged materials

  • Cleaning, sanitation, and containment setup

  • Operating specialized drying and restoration equipment

  • Maintaining organized job sites, vehicles, and equipment

  • Communicating professionally with clients and project managers

  • Adhering strictly to safety standards and company procedures


Work Expectations

Restoration is an on-demand industry.

This is a full-time position that routinely requires extended hours, overtime, and on-call availability. Work weeks often range between 45–50 hours, and may exceed that during storm events or high-volume periods.

This role is best suited for individuals who:

  • Are comfortable working long hours when the workload requires it

  • Understand that emergency response does not operate on a 9–5 schedule

  • Want strong earning potential through overtime

  • Take pride in being dependable when clients need us most

If you are seeking a consistent 40-hour workweek with minimal overtime, this role may not be the right fit.


What We Look For

  • Strong work ethic and reliability

  • Physical capability to lift and move heavy equipment

  • Mechanical aptitude and problem-solving ability

  • Coachability and willingness to learn

  • Professional communication skills

  • Valid driver's license with clean driving record

Preferred but not required:

  • IICRC certifications (WRT, ASD, AMRT, etc.)

  • OSHA 10 or 30

  • Construction or mitigation experience

We will train the right candidate. Attitude and effort matter.


Compensation & Benefits

  • Starting at $18 per hour minimum

  • Higher pay based on experience, certifications, and performance

  • Significant overtime opportunities

  • Performance bonus opportunities

  • 401(k) with company match

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage

  • PTO and paid holidays

  • Clear advancement path into Lead Technician and Crew Chief roles
