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 don’t have the upfront capital. Investors—current franchisees—fund the market, and you run it: managing 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. You’ll be selling, coaching your team, and performing inspections yourself until you’ve built a team capable of handling the work. This is a blue-collar business built in the field, not a desk job.

Who Thrives Here

We’ve seen success from individuals with diverse backgrounds—veterans, ministry leaders, equipment sales reps, former athletes, and more. 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 things go wrong

This is an opportunity to build a business with your name on the door—a future for your family that’s yours, not a corporation’s.

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

• Crawl on hands and knees and belly-crawl through tight, dark spaces
• Maneuver in confined areas
• Handle light hand tools as needed

If getting dirty and working in physically demanding conditions isn’t for you, this role may not be 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

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.
