Fire and Water Restoration Technician

Overview

As a restoration technician, you are often the first ServiceMaster employee on a job site. You are responsible for obtaining signed paperwork, scoping the work required, documenting the loss through photos, sketches, and notes, and helping to perform the mitigation work as needed, including demolition and building a drying system.

Customer service is a cornerstone of our business. Employees are expected to conduct themselves professionally and interact with customers and clients in a respectful and informative manner. Restoration technicians must explain the mitigation process to customers, answer questions, and communicate with insurance representatives to provide updates, obtain approvals, and clarify field-related concerns.

General Philosophy While we strive to define a clear scope of duties, ServiceMaster fosters a spirit of teamwork and cooperation to support each other during times of need or limited coverage.

We aim for every team member to be both professional and proficient in their specialty, while also being cross-trained and competent in other areas of our operations. At ServiceMaster, there is no such thing as “This is not my job.” Every member of our team is an ambassador of our company and shares the ultimate responsibility of taking care of our customers and contributing to all aspects of the business.
