    As a Mitigation Lead Technician, you will:

    • Lead technicians on water mitigation, mold, and other emergency remediation projects
    • Perform water extraction, demolition, cleaning, drying, and equipment setup

    • Take clear jobsite photos and videos
    • Complete required field documentation and job notes
    • Ensure equipment is properly placed, monitored, cleaned, and accounted for
    • Communicate job progress and concerns to the Project Manager/Division Manager
    • Help technicians understand what needs to be done and why
    • Maintain clean, organized, and professional jobsites
    • Provide respectful and professional service to customers during stressful situations
    • Participate in the divisions emergency/on-call rotation

    What Were Looking For

    • Has restoration, water mitigation, mold remediation, construction, or related field experience
    • Is comfortable taking responsibility for a jobsite and directing other technicians
    • Understands the importance of accurate documentation
    • Can follow established procedures and safety requirements
    • Communicates well with customers, coworkers, and management
    • Is dependable and shows up ready to work
    • Can work independently without needing constant supervision
    • Is willing to teach and develop less-experienced technicians
    • Can remain calm and make good decisions when jobs become challenging
    • Is comfortable using mobile apps and technology for job documentation
    • Has a valid drivers license and acceptable driving record

    IICRC certifications are preferred, but restoration experience, leadership ability, and willingness to learn are equally important.

    This Job May Be a Great Fit If...

    Youre the person others naturally look to when something needs to get done.

    You dont walk past problems-you address them.

    You understand that being a Lead isnt just about knowing more than everyone else. Its about setting the standard, helping your team succeed, communicating problems early, and taking ownership of the work.
