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. Investors—current franchisees—fund the market, while you run the business: managing people, P&L, and performance. As the business grows and hits targets, you buy out the investor’s stake and become the franchisee. This model has been successfully executed 35 times.

You’ll start on a base salary with uncapped profit share, directly tied to market performance. The better the business performs, the more you earn and the closer you move toward ownership.

Who Thrives Here

This is a blue-collar business built in the field—expect hands-on work, including selling, coaching your team, and performing inspections yourself until you’ve built a capable team. We value character over resume: servant-hearted leadership, a willingness to do the work before delegating, and the grit to take accountability when things go wrong. Successful candidates come from diverse backgrounds, including veterans, ministry leaders, equipment sales reps, and former athletes.

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 they’ve escalated
• 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

• Crawl on hands and knees and belly-crawl through tight, dark spaces
• Maneuver in confined areas
• Handle light hand tools as needed

If you’re unwilling to get dirty or work in these conditions, this role isn’t a 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

Expected earnings for top performers:

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

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