A Day in the Life of a Technician

No two days are ever the same as a Technician at First Onsite. One day, you might be helping a family get back into their home after water damage, and the next, you could be working alongside your team on a large demolition site. You'll work hands-on with a variety of tools and equipment while learning the ins and outs of emergency restoration and disaster recovery. Every project brings something new, and you'll always have your team right there with you to get the job done.

Safety is a top priority in everything we do. You'll follow our safety programs and procedures while also ensuring compliance with industry and legislative requirements. While the work can be fast-paced and physically demanding, it's rewarding to see the impact you make when helping people and businesses recover. Basic computer skills will come in handy as you manage project updates, and you'll quickly become comfortable using industry-specific tools and technology.
