If you’ve ever thought, “I know I could run something if someone just gave me the shot,” keep reading.

You’ll own a local territory like it’s your mini‑business, with support from a bigger platform behind you.

• Respond to emergency leads
  • Take inbound calls from homeowners with water or fire damage
  • Get on site quickly, build trust, explain the process, and win the job
• Sell the job & set it up to win
  • Walk the property, scope the work, and set expectations with the customer
  • Coordinate documentation (photos, 3D scans, job notes) so the back office can handle the insurance side
• Run the work
  • Direct a small team of techs and/or subcontractors on demo and mitigation work
  • Make sure jobs are on time, cleaned up, and done to spec
• Build local relationships
  • Develop and maintain relationships with plumbers, property managers, and other referral partners
  • Represent the brand in the community – the person people think of when they hear “water damage” in your city
• Own your numbers
  • Hit monthly goals for jobs completed, revenue, gross margin, and customer reviews
  • Work closely with our central team on scheduling, claims, and collections

You’ll have support with marketing, intake, and insurance back office – but you are the face and heartbeat of the outpost.

• You like selling and you’re comfortable asking for the business
• You enjoy being in motion – in the truck, on job sites, meeting people
• You're okay with odd hours – water damage doesn’t respect 9–5
• You're competitive and want your income tied to performance, not just your time
• You can manage details: checklists, safety, job notes, and follow-through

• A current mitigation tech or crew lead who wants to run the whole show, not just part of the job
• A salesperson (auto, home services, trades, etc.) who’s good with people and wants more ownership and upside
• Someone who’s always been a bit entrepreneurial but doesn’t want to start from scratch alone

• Comfortable talking to customers in stressful situations and leading the conversation
• Willing to be on call on a rotation basis (nights/weekends happen in this business)
• Able and willing to do hands‑on work – tear‑outs, setting equipment, etc. (we’ll train you)
• Strong driver’s license record and able to operate a company vehicle
• Comfortable using basic tech: phone apps, job management software, email/text
• Able to manage subs and/or small crews and hold people accountable

Restoration/construction experience is a plus, but not required. We care more about attitude, drive, and your ability to own outcomes.

• Base salary: $65,000
• Performance upside: realistic path to $125,000–$200,000/year within 6–12 months as your outpost ramps and hits targets
• Training:
  • Full training in water mitigation, job scoping, and documentation
  • Playbooks, coaching, and ride‑along with experienced operators
• Support system:
  • Central team to help with marketing, phone intake, and insurance back office
  • Proven strategy and backing from a private equity‑backed restoration platform
  • Ongoing mentorship:
    Direct, ongoing coaching from an experienced restoration operator (Kevin), not just initial training — including regular check‑ins, field support, and problem‑solving as your outpost ramps
• Growth path:
  • Be the founding leader in your market
  • Opportunity to mentor additional outpost leaders as we expand to multiple locations
