Lead Technician - Water & Mold Restoration

Build Something Great With Us

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Lead Restoration Technician who takes pride in doing technically sound work, treating customers professionally, and leaving every jobsite clean and well documented.

This is an important early hire for our company. You will work directly with ownership, lead water mitigation and mold remediation projects, help establish our field standards, and have the opportunity to grow into a production or operations leadership role as DrySite expands.

This is not a desk-supervisor position. The right candidate will be comfortable leading the crew while also performing the work.
