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 performance 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 the market’s 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—literally. You’ll be hands-on, selling, coaching your team, and performing inspections yourself until you’ve built a capable crew. 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 take 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’s entirely yours.

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
• The discipline to address hard conversations early
• Understanding of sales, marketing, and capacity planning at the unit level
• Comfort with full accountability for results
• A hunger for feedback and improvement, not validation
• The grit to operate under pressure without losing focus

Physical Demands

This role requires crawling on hands and knees, belly-crawling through tight, dark spaces, maneuvering in confined areas, and handling light hand tools. If you’re unwilling to get dirty or work in these conditions, this 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 long-term value of ownership once you buy into the franchise.
