Lead Restoration Technician – Water, Fire & Mold

Ready to Lead Jobs Instead of Just Work on Them?

Certified Professional Restoration is hiring an experienced Lead Restoration Technician to run restoration job sites, lead crews, communicate with customers, and make sure every project is completed safely, professionally, and thoroughly documented.

This is not an entry-level position.

We are looking for someone who understands hands-on field work and is ready to take greater ownership and responsibility. A successful Lead Technician doesn't just know how to do the work — they know how to organize the job, lead the crew, solve problems, communicate with the customer, and make sure nothing gets missed.

Certified Professional Restoration is a locally owned company serving the Canton area for more than 10 years. We're looking for someone who wants to build a long-term career and grow with our company.

What You'll Be Responsible For

As a Lead Restoration Technician, you will be responsible for the job site from arrival through completion.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Lead and direct crews of Restoration Laborers and Technicians
• Assign work and keep the crew productive and organized
• Serve as the primary company contact for customers while on-site
• Assess water, fire, mold, and other property damage
• Identify affected areas and help determine the appropriate scope of work
• Perform water extraction and structural drying
• Perform and oversee demolition and removal of damaged materials
• Perform fire and smoke damage cleanup
• Perform and oversee mold remediation
• Set up drying and restoration equipment correctly
• Take moisture readings and monitor drying progress
• Make field decisions and communicate job changes or concerns
• Maintain a clean, safe, and professional job site
• Ensure company procedures and safety standards are followed
• Inspect completed work before leaving the job
• Keep company vehicles, tools, and equipment organized and cared for
• Participate in our rotating after-hours emergency response schedule

Documentation Is a Major Part of This Position

Being good at restoration work is only part of being a successful Lead Technician.

You will also be responsible for making sure every job is properly documented.

This includes:

• Writing clear and accurate daily job notes
• Taking thorough before, during, and after photos
• Recording moisture readings and equipment placement
• Creating property sketches and documenting affected areas
• Documenting work performed and materials removed
• Keeping job files organized and up to date
• Making sure required documentation is completed accurately and on time

If it's not documented, it's not complete.

Attention to detail, organization, and follow-through are essential for this position.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who:

• Has experience in restoration, construction, remediation, property maintenance, or a similar hands-on field
• Is comfortable leading and directing other employees
• Takes ownership of jobs instead of waiting to be told every next step
• Has strong problem-solving skills
• Communicates professionally with homeowners, property managers, coworkers, and supervisors
• Is organized and pays attention to details
• Is comfortable using a smartphone, tablet, and job-management software
• Can write clear job notes and complete documentation accurately
• Can perform physically demanding work
• Can lift 50 lbs.
• Can bend, kneel, climb stairs, and work on their feet for extended periods
• Is comfortable working in basements, crawlspaces, wet environments, and damaged properties
• Has a valid driver's license and an acceptable driving record for operating a company vehicle
• Is willing and able to participate in rotating after-hours emergency response, including occasional evenings, nights, and weekends
• Can meet company background-screening requirements
• Can comply with our drug-free workplace policy

The Right Person for This Role

This position is a good fit if you:

• Take pride in running an organized job
• Notice things other people miss
• Can lead people without needing constant supervision yourself
• Stay calm when jobs don't go exactly as planned
• Hold yourself and your crew accountable
• Communicate well with customers
• Understand that documentation is just as important as the physical work
• Take care of company vehicles, tools, and equipment
• Want responsibility and the opportunity to advance
• Want to be part of a growing local company instead of just having another job

More Than a Technician

A Lead Restoration Technician is responsible for more than completing assigned tasks.

You own the job.

That means making sure:

• The customer knows what's happening
• The crew knows what they're doing
• The work is being performed correctly
• The job site is safe and organized
• Problems are addressed
• Photos and notes are complete
• The equipment is properly placed and monitored
• The job is ready for the next step when your team leaves

If you're the kind of person who takes responsibility and wants to be trusted to run jobs the right way, this may be the opportunity you're looking for.
