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 opportunities. Earnings are performance-driven—the better the market 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, not a desk job. You’ll be selling, coaching your team, and performing inspections yourself until you’ve built a capable team. 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 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 you control, not a corporation.

Requirements

• 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

Expect to crawl on your hands and knees, belly-crawl through tight, dark spaces, maneuver in confined areas, and handle light hand tools as needed. If you’re not willing to get dirty or work in these conditions, this role is not a fit.

Benefits

• Full-time, W-2, salary exempt position
• Base salary + uncapped profit sharing
• Company vehicle
• 2 weeks PTO
• Hands-on training and a real leadership development path

Pay

Projected 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 value of ownership once you buy into the franchise.
