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 meets performance targets, you buy out the investor’s stake and become the franchisee, owning the business outright. This model has successfully launched 35 markets.

You’ll start with a base salary and earn uncapped profit share based on performance. 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 hands-on—selling, coaching your team, and conducting 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
• Willingness to do the work before delegating
• Grit to take accountability when challenges arise

This is an opportunity to build a business you’re proud of in your community, with your name on the door and a future for your family that’s entirely yours.

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 address hard conversations early
• 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

Expect to crawl on hands and knees, belly-crawl through tight, dark spaces, maneuver in confined areas, and handle light hand tools. If you’re unwilling to get dirty or work in these conditions, 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

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 value of ownership once you buy into the franchise.
