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 may not have the capital to front the franchise fee and launch costs. Investors—current franchisees who believe in the system—will fund the market, and you will run it: managing the people, P&L, and performance. As the business grows and hits its numbers, you buy out the investor’s stake and become the franchisee, owning the business outright. This model has been successfully executed 35 times.

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 team capable of carrying the work.

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, including veterans, ministry leaders, equipment sales reps, and former athletes. What unites them is character:

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

This opportunity is about building a future for your family—a business you’re proud to run in your own community, with your name on the door.

Requirements

We’re looking for candidates with the following experience and qualities:

• A track record of leading teams to measurable results in a process-driven, labor-intensive environment
• Experience building or enforcing standard operating procedures
• A proven ability to recruit, develop, and retain strong people
• The discipline to have hard conversations early, not after they’ve festered
• An understanding of sales, marketing, and capacity planning at the unit level
• Comfort being held fully accountable for results
• A hunger for feedback and improvement, not validation
• The grit to operate under pressure without losing focus

Physical Demands

• Ability to 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 not willing to get dirty and work in these conditions, this role may not be the right fit.

Benefits

• Full-time W-2, salary exempt position
• Performance-based compensation: base salary + uncapped profit sharing
• Company vehicle
• 2 weeks PTO
• On-the-job training, development, and leadership transformation

Pay

Expected earnings for top performers:

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

These figures do not include the long-term value of ownership once you buy into the franchise.
