General Manager

About the Role

Crawlspace Medic, the leading franchise in the crawl space and basement repair industry, offers a unique path to franchise ownership. Instead of requiring upfront capital, we partner with investors—current franchisees who fund the market—while you run the business. As the business grows and hits performance targets, you buy out the investor’s stake and become the franchisee, owning the business outright.

You’ll start on a base salary with uncapped profit share, directly tied to the market’s performance. This is a performance-driven opportunity where the better the business does, the more you earn—and the closer you move toward full ownership.

Who Thrives Here

This is a blue-collar business built in the field, not behind a desk. You’ll be selling, coaching your team, and performing hands-on work—including crawling under houses for inspections—until you’ve built a team capable of handling the workload. We’ve seen success from diverse backgrounds, including veterans, ministry leaders, equipment sales reps, and former athletes. What matters most is character:

• Servant-hearted leadership
• A willingness to do the work before delegating it
• The grit to take accountability when challenges arise

This is an opportunity to build a business with your name on the door—a future for your family that’s entirely yours.

Requirements

• A 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 address hard conversations early, not after issues escalate
• Understanding of sales, marketing, and capacity planning at the unit level
• Comfort with full accountability for results
• Hunger for feedback and improvement, not validation
• Grit to operate under pressure without losing focus

Physical Demands

• Crawling on hands and knees and belly-crawling through tight, dark spaces
• Maneuvering in confined areas
• Handling light hand tools as needed

If you’re unwilling to get dirty and work in physically demanding conditions, this role may not be 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

Pay

Earnings potential for top performers:

• Year 1: ~$85,000
• Year 2: ~$100,000–$110,000
• Year 3: ~$125,000–$135,000

These figures exclude the long-term value of ownership once you buy into the franchise.
