    Ability to pass a background check (insurance-related work)

    Comfortable using a smartphone for job communication and updates

    Physically able to lift 50+ lbs and perform daily labor

    Willingness to work occasional late hours or be on-call when needed due to the nature of restoration work

    Compensation based on experience and qualifications

    Use of company vehicle

    Opportunity for growth within the company
