SERVPRO® – Locally Owned & Operated for 30 Years
Base Pay: $20.00–$25.00/hour based on experience

Full-Time | Year-Round | Monday–Friday
Build Things. Learn a Trade. See What You Accomplished.
Our Construction Technicians rebuild homes and businesses after water damage, fires, storms, and other property losses.
This isn’t production-line construction where you do the same task all day. One project might involve drywall and finishing, another trim and paint, and another rebuilding several rooms of a home after a major loss.
You’ll work alongside experienced Crew Leaders while continuing to develop practical, transferable construction skills.
What You’ll Do
- Assist with reconstruction projects from demolition through completion
- Install insulation
- Hang and finish drywall
- Perform interior and exterior painting
- Install baseboard, casing, trim, and other finish materials
- Perform basic framing and carpentry
- Prepare and maintain jobsites
- Safely operate hand and power tools
- Follow plans, scopes, and instructions from the Crew Leader
- Maintain tools, vehicles, and equipment
- Deliver professional workmanship in customers’ homes and businesses
What We’re Looking For
You do not need to be a master carpenter.
We’re looking for people who:
- Enjoy working with their hands
- Take pride in doing something correctly
- Want to improve their construction skills
- Show up reliably
- Can take direction and work as part of a crew
- Care about the finished product
Some construction experience is helpful, but we will train someone with the right attitude and aptitude.
What You Can Earn
Base pay is $20–$25/hour, depending on experience.
Based on actual employee payroll, Construction Technicians average approximately $26 in gross earnings per hour worked when overtime and other premium-pay opportunities are included.
The $26/hour figure is an historical average and is not guaranteed. Actual earnings vary based on hours, assignments, workload, experience, and available premium-pay work.
