Service Technician

$25.00/hr guaranteed base uncapped commission — our techs average $50K–$80K, and our top performer earned over $100K last year

TerraFirma has been the Pacific Northwest's trusted name in foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete repair since 2005. We're locally owned and operated — not a national chain. We don't just fix homes, we protect families, and our Service Technicians are the face of that promise long after the original crew rolls away.

Do you thrive at the intersection of hands-on work and building real relationships with customers? This role is part technician, part trusted advisor: you'll inspect, diagnose, and repair existing systems — and when a home needs more protection, you'll recommend it and earn commission on it. If you connect easily with people, take pride in quality work, and want your paycheck to reflect both — this role is built for you.

HOW THE PAY WORKS — NO GUESSWORK

• $25.00/hr guaranteed base — your floor doesn't depend on what you sell
• Uncapped commission on additional products and services customers choose
• Typical total earnings: $50,000–$80,000/yr — and our top performer cleared $100,000 last year
• Company vehicle provided; paid drive time between appointments

A DIFFERENT KIND OF DAY

You'll travel to pre-scheduled customer appointments — no cold-calling, no door-knocking. Every customer already knows TerraFirma; your job is to take care of them.

• Adhere to job specifications, quality standards, and safety guidelines on every visit
• Report product or installation issues promptly to the Service Manager
• Work safely in crawlspaces and basements; drive the company vehicle to appointments daily

Sales & Customer Relations

• Build long-term relationships and represent TerraFirma professionally on every visit
• Recommend additional products and services to enhance original installations or remedy new issues
• Obtain customer approval before proceeding with any additional work or changes
• Maintain communication with customers until every concern is fully resolved

Administration & Training

• Complete paperwork and follow-up communications promptly after each appointment
• Communicate job status to the Service Manager; attend weekly service meetings
• Ride-alongs with the Sales Manager and peers — we invest in making you better at both halves of this job

WHERE THIS ROLE GOES
