Restoration & Construction Technician

Holt Construction Group is a single-source, full-service general construction firm specializing in restoring, renovating, and maintaining multi-family, senior living, and commercial properties. Our services range from general construction and renovations to water mitigation, fire restoration, mold remediation, and insurance-related repairs.

We are a family-owned business, and our growing team is looking for a hardworking, dependable Restoration & Construction Technician to serve our multi-family and commercial clients.

This is a hands-on field position for someone who enjoys variety and wants to develop skills across both restoration and general construction.

Between restoration assignments, this position will work alongside our construction teams on renovation, repair, maintenance, and other general construction projects.

If you pride yourself on setting high standards, going the extra mile, taking initiative, and treating others the way you would like to be treated, we would like to hear from you.

Position Summary
