🔥💧 Now Hiring: Disaster Response Technician (Fire & Water Restoration)
This is not a desk job. This is hands-on, physical work in real-world emergency conditions.
SERVPRO® Team Carpenter is expanding our Fire & Water Division and is looking for reliable, physically capable technicians who can perform under pressure and take pride in tough work done right.
If you’re looking for steady hours, skill-building, and a career path—and you’re comfortable with physical labor, confined spaces, and emergency response—keep reading. If not, this role likely isn’t a fit.
🧠 What This Job Really Is
You will be responding to fire, water, and emergency loss sites—often while properties are damaged, wet, smoky, or unsafe. This role requires:
Physical labor every day
Working in attics, crawlspaces, and confined areas
Lifting, carrying, and moving heavy materials
Wearing PPE and respirators when required
Following strict safety and documentation procedures
This is not janitorial work and not general construction—it’s skilled restoration work that requires consistency and accountability.
🧰 Core Responsibilities
Set up and break down fire & water restoration job sites
Operate drying, extraction, and cleaning equipment
Perform demolition and material removal as needed
Maintain clean, organized, and safe work areas
Communicate clearly with supervisors and crew members
Follow safety protocols and job documentation requirements
🚗 Minimum Requirements (Non-Negotiable)
Applicants must meet all of the following:
Valid driver’s license & reliable transportation
Ability to lift 50+ lbs repeatedly
Comfortable working on ladders, in attics, crawlspaces, and damaged structures
Willing to work in dirty, wet, smoky, or uncomfortable environments
Able to pass a background check
Strong attendance and punctuality history
If you are uncomfortable with physical labor or emergency-response conditions, please do not apply.
💪 What We Offer (For the Right Fit)
Competitive pay with clear growth opportunities
Paid training & industry certifications
Benefits package
Long-term career path — we promote from within
A professional, team-focused environment where performance matters
⚡ Who Succeeds Here
Our best technicians are people who:
Show up on time, every day
Follow direction and safety procedures
Take pride in doing hard work correctly
Stay calm under pressure
Want a career, not just a short-term job
⚡ Who Thrives Here
You take pride in your work, stay cool under pressure, and enjoy problem-solving on the go. You like seeing real results at the end of the day — and being part of a team that makes a difference for people who truly need it.
