SERVPRO Carmichael/Citrus Heights Roseville/E&W Modesto/Manteca
Now Hiring: Experienced Fire & Water Restoration Technician
Restoration experience required. Abatement experience is a major advantage.
SERVPRO® Team Carpenter is growing our Fire & Water Division and is looking for experienced, dependable technicians who are ready to hit the ground running.
If you already know restoration, we want to talk to you. Experience in mold, asbestos, or lead abatement is highly valued and will set you apart from other candidates.
This is not an entry-level position. We're looking for professionals who understand job flow, equipment, documentation, customer service, and what it takes to complete a clean, efficient mitigation project from start to finish.
If you take pride in your work, move with urgency, and don't need to be micromanaged, you'll fit right in.
What You'll Do
Respond to residential and commercial fire and water losses while performing mitigation work safely, efficiently, and professionally.
- Set up containment, drying systems, air movers, dehumidifiers, and other mitigation equipment
- Perform water extraction, demolition, debris removal, and structural drying
- Navigate attics, crawlspaces, roofs, and other confined work areas
- Follow IICRC standards, PPE requirements, and safety protocols
- Document work with detailed notes, photos, moisture readings, and daily updates
- Maintain organized vehicles, equipment, and clean job sites
- Deliver excellent customer service during stressful situations
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience in fire and water mitigation required
- Mold, asbestos, or lead abatement experience is highly preferred and considered a significant asset
- Understanding of drying principles, psychrometry, equipment setup, and job flow
- IICRC certifications are a plus (or willingness to obtain them)
- Ability to work independently and contribute to a high-performing team
- Strong work ethic with a sense of urgency
- Professional communication and attention to detail
Requirements
- Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
- Ability to lift 50+ pounds regularly
- Comfortable working on ladders, roofs, in crawlspaces, and other confined areas
- Willingness to work in wet, dirty, physically demanding environments
- Reliable attendance and punctuality are essential
- Must successfully pass a background check
What We Offer
- Competitive pay based on experience
- Additional compensation for highly qualified candidates
- Clear career advancement opportunities (Lead Technician → Crew Chief → Project Manager/Estimator)
- Paid IICRC certifications and continuing education
- Strong leadership, organized systems, and defined expectations
- Year-round work in a recession-resistant industry
- A team that values accountability, quality, and professionalism
Why Join SERVPRO Team Carpenter?
We believe great technicians deserve a great company.
Our teams operate with clear expectations, organized processes, and high standards. We invest in our employees, provide opportunities for advancement, and expect every team member to take ownership of their work.
If you're an experienced restoration professional who's tired of disorganized crews, inconsistent leadership, or low standards—and if you bring abatement experience to the table—that's even better.
Come build your career with a company that values craftsmanship, accountability, and doing the job right.
