SERVPRO Team Carpenter is expanding our Fire & Water Division in Carmichael/Citrus Heights, Roseville, and Modesto/Manteca areas.

About the role

We’re looking for experienced, reliable Disaster Response Technicians who can step in, get to work, and elevate the crew. This is not entry-level cleanup work. We need professionals who understand job flow, equipment, documentation, and what it takes to run a clean, efficient mitigation job. If you take pride in your work, move with urgency, and don’t need to be micromanaged, you’ll fit here.

Responsibilities

• Respond to fire and water losses and execute mitigation work with professionalism and efficiency
• Set up and manage containment, drying systems, and equipment
• Perform extractions, demo, and material removal
• Navigate attics, crawlspaces, and tight working environments
• Follow proper PPE, safety, and IICRC-based standards
• Document work clearly (notes, photos, daily updates)
• Maintain clean, organized job sites

Requirements

• Prior experience in fire and/or water mitigation (preferred)
• Understanding of drying principles, equipment, and job flow
• Ability to work independently and as part of a crew
• Strong work ethic — show up ready, move with purpose
• Clean, professional communication on jobs
• Valid driver’s license
• Able to lift 50+ lbs regularly
• Comfortable on ladders and in confined spaces
• Willing to work in dirty, wet, and high-demand environments
• Reliable attendance — non-negotiable
• Background check required

Qualifications

This role is ideal for those who:

• Take pride in their work and move with urgency
• Have worked in restoration before and are tired of disorganized crews, inconsistent work, or low standards
• Want to be part of a team that moves fast, holds quality standards, and takes pride in the finished product

Benefits

• Health insurance
• Opportunity for advancement (Lead Tech → Crew Chief → PM/Estimator)
• Paid time off
• 401(k) matching
• Paid certifications (IICRC + continued training)
• Strong leadership and structured operations
• Steady, year-round work in a recession-resistant industry

Pay

$20.00 - $26.00 per hour, based on experience
