Restoration Technician – Water, Fire & Mold

Certified Professional Restoration
Canton, OH Full Time
POSTED ON 8/24/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 12/20/2026

Ready to Build Your Skills in Restoration?

Certified Professional Restoration is hiring a Restoration Technician to join our growing team.

This position is a step above an entry-level Restoration Laborer and is ideal for someone who has experience with hands-on work, understands the basics of restoration, and is ready to take more responsibility in the field.

As a Restoration Technician, you will work independently on many restoration tasks while working under the direction of a Lead Technician or Project Manager. You'll be expected to perform quality work, take accurate moisture readings, operate restoration equipment, complete job documentation, and help keep projects moving forward.

For the right person, this position provides a clear path toward becoming a Lead Restoration Technician.

What You'll Do

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Perform water extraction and mitigation
  • Perform fire and smoke damage cleanup
  • Perform mold remediation
  • Remove damaged drywall, flooring, insulation, and other materials as directed
  • Set up, move, and monitor drying equipment
  • Take moisture readings and document drying progress
  • Assist with identifying affected areas and job-site conditions
  • Complete assigned restoration work safely and efficiently
  • Take clear and thorough job-site photos
  • Write accurate daily job notes
  • Keep equipment, vehicles, and job sites clean and organized
  • Communicate job-site concerns or changes to the Lead Technician or Project Manager
  • Interact professionally with homeowners and business owners
  • Help direct Restoration Laborers when needed
  • Participate in our rotating after-hours emergency response schedule

This is active, hands-on work in residential and commercial properties.

Documentation Matters

A Restoration Technician is responsible for more than completing physical work.

You will be expected to properly document the work you perform, including:

  • Daily job notes
  • Before, during, and after photos
  • Moisture readings
  • Equipment placement and monitoring
  • Work completed
  • Materials removed
  • Changes or concerns discovered on the job

Good documentation, communication, and attention to detail are important parts of this position.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who:

  • Has a strong work ethic
  • Is dependable and shows up on time
  • Can perform restoration work with limited supervision
  • Is willing to learn and continue developing their skills
  • Takes pride in doing quality work
  • Is comfortable using restoration tools and equipment
  • Is comfortable using a smartphone or tablet for job documentation
  • Can communicate professionally with customers and coworkers
  • Can follow instructions from Lead Technicians and Project Managers
  • Is willing to help and guide less-experienced team members
  • Can perform physically demanding work
  • Can lift 50 lbs.
  • Can bend, kneel, squat, climb stairs, and stand for extended periods
  • Is comfortable working in basements, crawlspaces, wet areas, and damaged properties
  • Has a valid driver's license
  • Has a driving record acceptable for operating a company vehicle
  • Can pass required background screening
  • Can pass required drug screening and comply with our drug-free workplace policy
  • Is willing and able to participate in our after-hours on-call rotation every other week

Experience

Previous restoration experience is preferred but not necessarily required for the right candidate.

Experience in the following areas may also be a good fit:

  • Water mitigation
  • Mold remediation
  • Fire restoration
  • Construction or remodeling
  • Demolition
  • Property maintenance
  • Carpet or floor cleaning
  • Commercial cleaning
  • Other hands-on service trades

We're willing to continue training someone who has the right attitude, mechanical ability, work ethic, and willingness to learn.

Schedule

  • Full-time
  • Primarily Monday–Friday
  • After-hours on-call rotation every other week
  • Occasional evening, night, and weekend emergency response
  • Overtime opportunities as workload requires

Restoration is an emergency-service business, so participation in the after-hours rotation is a required part of this position.

Pay & Benefits

  • $19–$21/hour based on experience and ability
  • Weekly pay
  • Overtime opportunities
  • Paid on-the-job training
  • Industry certification opportunities
  • 401(k)
  • Health insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • Life insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Professional development assistance
  • Opportunities for advancement

Where This Position Fits

We believe in giving employees a clear path to grow:

Restoration Laborer → Restoration Technician → Lead Restoration Technician → Additional Advancement Opportunities

As a Restoration Technician, you're expected to know how to perform the work and become increasingly independent in the field.

You are not expected to run the entire job site or manage the entire crew — that's the responsibility of the Lead Technician.

Your job is to become highly capable at the restoration work itself, complete your work correctly, document it properly, communicate problems, and be someone the Lead Technician can depend on.
