General Manager
About the Role
Crawlspace Medic is the leading franchise in the crawl space and basement repair industry. We offer a unique path to franchise ownership for individuals who don’t have the upfront capital but are ready to run and eventually own a business. Investors—current successful franchisees—fund the market, and you run it: managing people, P&L, and performance. As the business grows and hits its numbers, you buy out the investor’s stake and become the franchisee. You own it.
You’ll start on a base salary with uncapped profit share on top. Earnings are performance-driven—the better the market performs, the more you earn and the closer you move toward ownership. This is a hands-on role where you’ll sell, coach your team, and perform inspections yourself until you’ve built a capable team.
Who Thrives Here
This is a blue-collar business built in the field, not a desk job. We’ve seen success from individuals with diverse backgrounds—veterans, ministry leaders, equipment sales reps, former athletes, and more. What matters most is character:
- Servant-hearted leadership
- Willingness to do the work before delegating it
- Grit to be the last line of accountability when things go wrong
This is an opportunity to build a business with your name on the door—a future for your family that’s yours, not a corporation’s.
Requirements
- Track record of leading teams to measurable results in a process-driven, labor-intensive environment
- Experience building or enforcing standard operating procedures
- Proven ability to recruit, develop, and retain strong people
- Discipline to have hard conversations early, not after they’ve festered
- Understanding of sales, marketing, and capacity planning at the unit level
- Comfort being held fully accountable for results
- Hunger for feedback and improvement, not validation
- Grit to operate under pressure without losing focus
Physical Demands
- Crawl on hands and knees and belly-crawl through tight, dark spaces
- Maneuver in confined areas
- Handle light hand tools as needed
If getting dirty and working in crawl spaces isn’t something you’re willing to do, this role isn’t the right fit.
Benefits
- Full-time, W-2, salary exempt position
- Base salary + uncapped profit sharing
- Company vehicle
- 2 weeks PTO
- Hands-on training and leadership development path
