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 its numbers, 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, earning more as the market performs better. This is a performance-driven opportunity to build and own a business in your community.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage all aspects of the franchise, including people, P&L, and performance.
• Sell services, coach your team, and perform hands-on work (e.g., inspections) until you’ve built a capable team.
• Recruit, develop, and retain strong employees.
• Enforce and refine standard operating procedures.
• Handle sales, marketing, and capacity planning at the unit level.
• Maintain accountability for results and operate under pressure.
• Perform physical work, including crawling under houses and maneuvering in tight spaces.

Requirements

• Track record of leading teams to measurable results in a process-driven, labor-intensive environment.

• Discipline to address challenges early and have hard conversations.
• Understanding of sales, marketing, and capacity planning at the unit level.

• Maneuver in confined areas.
• Handle light hand tools as needed.

Benefits

• Full-time, W-2, salary exempt position.
